The eBike Sport boasts a sleek design and a white glossy finish for everyday purposes. It has a small Shimano EP8 motor that fuels the bike to a speed of 15 mph. The Shimano electric gear system is also integrated to ensure that it is smooth on the road. The eBike Cross is done in a sleek black palette made for mountainous roads.
