Those Tektro 276 brakes are on a ton of bikes right now. One of the three kid bikes this christmas had them and another one had a clone or cheaper version. All the e-bikes my wife is shopping seem to have them. Hydraulic brakes have really reached ubquity. Finally!

All the pics show cable brakes, though. Hm. The Tektros are only in the bumf for the flat bar. The spec for the drop bar version mentions Shimano brakes, not Tektros. Hydraulic brifters are usually comically expensive compared to MTB controls, you would not expect to see them at this price point

All the versions have the same 35mm tires. The smaller sizes are 650b rims
