Combining the handling and suspension of its popular Enduro bike with its state-of-the-art Turbo SL motor, Specialized has introduced its latest and most innovative trail e-bike to-date: the Kenevo SL.
Delivering up to 240 watts, the new MTB model boasts Specialized’s Turbo Super Light system that gives riders that extra helping hand when needed, which means more power for climbing, and more distance to cover.
What’s more, unlike traditional e-bikes, the Kenevo SL weighs in at just four kilos more than the Enduro, and around five-and-a-half less than the Full Power Kenevo. Such is its lightweight build, the bike is not only super-responsive, but it means you can go faster too.
Last August, Simon Cowell broke his back on his first ride on his brand new e-bike, an incredibly powerful trail bike that’s not even road legal. Today, fully recovered and riding again, he is dolling out advice to fellow riders.
It’s no surprise that e-mobility is such a huge success right now. With the level of versatility and eco-friendly goodness EVs bring to the table, you can bet your bottom dollar this wave isn’t slowing down.
E-bike startup Cowboy has launched the Cowboy 4, its newest generation of urban electric bikes. The C4 is basically an upgrade on the previous version 3, while the ‘C4 ST’ is a step-through model which the company is predicting will appeal to young people used to city bikes. Cowboy has raised $46.1M in venture capital and largely extent competes with VanMoof (which raised $61.1M) and Furo Systems (£750K) to a lesser extent.
If you’re among the millions who have felt inspired slash forced by new social distancing requirements to change their approach to urban mobility, how far out would you go with your choice? Would you be willing to buy something different from a bike but with the same functionality?
