'Specter,' the British e-bike manufacturer, unveiled its newest e-bike, the 'Specter 1.' This bike boasts a full carbon fiber frame that allows it to achieve high speeds while remaining lightweight. The bike features a 700-watt bottom bracket motor and a 750 watt-hour lithium battery. This results in the Specter 1 achieving a maximum pedal-assisted speed of 28 mph and a range of 25 to 68 miles. The 25 mile range assumes no manual pedaling, while the full 68 mile range assumes the most manual pedaling.
The most appealing features of the Specter 1 are its sleek design and its connected touch screen display. The entire bike has a modern carbon fiber frame that gives it a futuristic urban design. When this is combined with the bright LED headlight and minimalist LED brake light, the Specter 1 leaves no design choice unconsidered.
As for the smart display, the bike has a six-inch touchscreen built into the handlebars that boast both Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity. This HD display is waterproof and weatherproof, plus it is controllable from a dedicated mobile application.
