If youre into cycling, theres a good chance youve heard of the name Greg LeMond.
Both models are constructed from carbon fiber a material LeMond helped popularize for use in bicycle frames.
The frame, fork, and the combined handlebar/stem are all featuremonocoquecarbon fiber construction.
This allows both bikes to weigh just 27 lb (12.25 kg).
There are no nasty welds and few seams.
I even managed to garner a compliment on my demo bike in just 30 minutes of riding.
And what a fun little ride that was.
Despite this, the bikes also felt reassuringly sturdy, even as someone over 250 lb.
The Mahle system here is proven and offers smooth power delivery.
Theres no attempt at a security or theft-recovery system as youd have on say, aVanMoof.
And of course, that price tag immediately invalidates these bikes as options for many more casual cyclists.
I dont think youd have much fun trying to load groceries with your bike leaning against a wall.
The company has more models coming including a road bike later this summer.
I hope to get a chance to put LeMonds ebikes through more extensive testing in the future.
