Santa Cruz launched aluminum-framed versions of the Vala, lowering the cost of entry for one of its most highly regarded eMTBs. The four-bar suspension layout was favored for its ease in packaging the mid-drive motor and battery.
The E-Spartan Lite is available with a Canadian-made 6061-T6 Optimum G04 aluminum frame only. All frames are hand-welded and hand-aligned, then undergo final machining to ensure precise build quality.
the development of the HPR60 has never been about peak torque or power. It's always about feeling empowered. It's about climbing faster and riding longer to enjoy more of what's most fun without being held back by a massive weight penalty.
"In cooperation with product safety regulators, Santa Cruz Bicycles is conducting a voluntary Safety Recall of certain Heckler 9 ebikes because in some cases their lithium-ion batteries can pose a fire hazard."
Renting a battery costs less than renting an e-bike or buying a spare battery. Plus, it gives riders the freedom to bring their own bike wherever they go. This service makes traveling with your e-bike as easy as the hills we don't pedal up.
