'HOVSCO,' the California-based electric micromobility manufacturer, announced the 'HovCity' a new step-through e-bike fit for urban environments. The HovCity has a low step-through design that is accessible by users of various heights. This will make the bike more appealing to a wider range of city commuters and bring more individuals into the sustainable transportation space.
The HovCity Step-Through e-bike boasts a pedal-assisted top speed of up to 28 miles per hour with an optional throttle at various speed values. The throttle function is necessary for riding e-bikes in certain cities based on local laws. The bike has a 500W brushless motor and a 36-volt battery that combine to deliver up to 60 miles of range on a single charge.
The HovCity Step-Through e-bike will be available online at HOVSCO's website near the end of June, 2022.
