Giant Road-E+ 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You should be reasonably excited that Giant have finally entered the e-bike market \u2013 and what an amazing range to choose from. The Road-E+ 2 isn\u2019t their top of the range, but it still looks sexy, and it provides enough power to keep your average speed competitive on the climb.<\/p>\n

\"2016_giant_road_e_plus_2_update\"<\/p>\n

Featuring Shimano Tiagra drivetrain and Mechanical disc brakes, you\u2019ll find that shifting isn\u2019t as critical as a motor-less ride. The motor is a modified Yamaha SyncDrive Sport model and it lends you a 250W boost on top of your own output. The PedalPlus 4-sensor technology monitors the force you\u2019re applying and matches it to the SyncDrive\u2019s output, which gives a natural feel to your ride.<\/p>\n

Specialized Turbo Levo FSR Comp 6Fattie<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just look at this bike. Look at it. Keep looking at it. Yep. It\u2019s that good looking. What other reason do you need to buy it? Well, for such a steep price tag you get some beautiful detail, like the Apple-inspired magnetic charging port.<\/p>\n

\"95216-51_levofsr_comp-6fattie_mongrn-blk\"<\/p>\n

The bike doesn\u2019t scream E-BIKE either. There\u2019s no handlebar display, so you\u2019re left to rely on your own senses and the feel of the ride \u2013 just like a real bicycle! With 135 mm of rear wheel travel courtesy of Specialized\u2019s four-bar suspension, there\u2019s plenty for the downhill enthusiast to get excited about too.<\/p>\n

Moustache Friday 27 Brooks Limited Edition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This bike flirts with convention, but it\u2019s design is anything but that. Look at how the jagged edges of the frame are juxtaposed with the graceful curves of the Brooks saddle. The Brick Lane <\/em>roll up pannier makes this collaboration with Brooks look like something dreamt up by a World War I futurist.<\/p>\n

\"moustache-friday-27-brooks-edition-2017\"<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let the retro look fool you \u2013 Friday 27 is powered by a Bosch motor that will pull you, and your heavy cargo, up a hill without you breaking a sweat. Add it to your wish list.<\/p>\n

Hoptown 500 Folding Electric Bike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The frame of the Hoptown is so low-slung this bike is almost a step-through. The drive train is a Shimano Tourney 6-speed, but it\u2019s supported by a 250W rear wheel motor that takes the hardest work out of hills.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the appeal for space-starved urbanites is that this bike folds. This also doubles as a security benefit \u2013 a bike stored in sight, under your desk for example, is safer than a bike locked to some railings. As if that wasn\u2019t enough to pique your interest, the bike is available at a more than reasonable \u00a3530.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
