A woman takes pictures of a Serial 1 eBike by Harley-Davidson with a drive system by German company Brose engineers during a press preview at the International Motor Show (IAA), on September 6, 2021 in Munich, southern Germany. - Germany's revamped IAA auto show, one of the world's largest, officially opens in Munich on September 7, for a celebration of all things car-related, but climate concerns and pandemic woes threaten to spoil the party.
The e-bike features a low step-through frame and 24" wheels. It features 3" wide tires that make it a bit more compact when folded. However, the tires are still big enough for a cruiser-like ride.
The frame is made of hydroformed aluminum with a front suspension fork. It uses an integrated battery that is secured into the downtube. Users can lock the battery in place and charge on the bike. They can also unlock the battery to charge separately. According to Electrek, the company claims that the e-bike has a maximum range of 50 miles from the battery when the pedal assist is in use.
However, those who rely on the throttle to reach higher speeds without pedaling won't be able to reach the 50-mile range but will garner at least that figure. The Model F has a 750W motor with a top speed of 25 mph. With that, those who push hard on the throttle will gain some good power and speed.
When it comes to the brakes, users will love the comfortable brake levers connected to the hydraulic disc brakes that guarantee a powerful stopping performance. It also features a single-speed pedal drivetrain with a huge 58T charging to ensure the ability to pedal even at top speed.

It comes with vegan leather grips, along with a wide comfort saddle that represents the cruiser bike vibes of the company. It also has a color LCD and LED lighting in the front and rear.
The e-bike also is outfitted with corrosion-resistant hardware with adjustable handlebar steam.
You can get the Electric Bike Company's latest e-bike at $1,799. It comes in three colors: red, white, and black. However, should you want a different color, you might get more in the coming future. After all, the company is known for delivering more paint color options.
The Rise of E-Bikes Today
E-bikes have actually shown strong growth these few years. The demand for e-bikes is on the rise, especially in places like the United States. However, e-bikes aren't just for city dwellers, as there are plenty of people who travel long distances on e-bikes. For them, the e-bike is not just a means of transportation. It is a mode of relaxation. For those who are worried about e-bike emissions, there is a growing concern about the issue. It has been proven that e-bikes emit small amounts of greenhouse gas.
