Traditional bicycle manufacturer Sole Bicycles is entering the electric bicycle turf with the release of the E-24 e-bike. The E-24 is powered by a 750W hub motor and comes in BMX styling. Sole Bicycles is an American company based in Venice, California known for highly functional single-speed and fixed gear bicycles. The E-24 is a retro-inspired e-bike which retains a classy look. It has a low saddle similar to what obtains in a motorbike. The frame and handlebars of the E-24 bear the same design philosophy as the iconic BMX. It has a laid-back look and is well-suited for the urban jungle.
The E-24 has 24-inch wheels covered by
three-inch thick tires. This makes off-road movement on the bike to be as
seamless as it can be. It has hydraulic disc brakes ahead of the rim brakes
used in the BMX. The E-24 has a top speed of 28mph using three assist levels.
It has a 48V 15Ah battery pack that delivers a range of 64 km on a
single charge. It takes up to 4 hours to fully recharge the E-24.
The Sole E-24 is designed for riders up to
6ft-4 inches tall and comes in Overthrow (black), el Tigre (orange and silver),
and Ballona (green and white). Sole Bicycles has now opened pre-orders for the
E-24 e-bike via its official website. It is priced at US$ 2,199 and several other
accessories are also on offer. Optional front and rear racks are priced at US$ 59.99, while a Cateye Combo AMP light set costs US$ 64.99. The earliest
deliveries of the E-24 e-bike will be later this month.
