Refined Full Suspension
Coil-spring suspension at the front and rear helps the SC28E glide over uneven pavement. Paired with generously sized Schwalbe Big Ben Plus tires, it helps keep the ride smooth on greenways and touring routes.
Settle In and Enjoy the Journey
The adjustable seat back and ergonomic, ventilated cushion let you settle into a supportive riding position. Multi-density foam adds cushioning, and the included neck rest supports a relaxed posture.
Adjust your recline, find your comfortable fit, and enjoy the view ahead.
Assistance When You Want It
Electric pedal assistance helps you tackle changing terrain and keep enjoying the ride. Automatic shifting takes care of gear changes, and an optional throttle control gives you another way to call on electric assistance.
The final motor and battery system is undergoing final testing. Production specifications will be shared with reservation holders before the remaining balance is charged.
Fold It. Take It. Explore.
Tool-free folding and removable, quick-release front wheels make the SC28E easier to store and transport between adventures. At approximately 75 pounds, plan your loading arrangement around your vehicle and lifting needs.
Smooth Indirect Steering
An indirect steering linkage gives the controls a light, smooth feel on winding trails and longer rides.
