It can help your kids ride even longer, extending that family Sunday ride even further than 15 miles (25 km). Its 24V 5.2Ah battery is adorably small yet provides up to 15 miles (25 km) of range if the kid keeps it kent bike in low power mode. The Kent Torpedo is the first electric bicycle that I know of designed specifically for children. And it’s so much fun (even for me as a full-fledged adult) that it surely won’t be the last one.
With the maximum exemption set at $200, Washington’s 6.5% sales tax rate means e-bikes priced up to around $3,000 could be purchased without paying any sales tax, if the bill passes. Bike Rumour carries news of a new speed pedelec helmet from Endura. It is certified to speed pedelec standards (designed for greater speed impact and covering more of your head than a regular helmet) and features tilting visor and Koroyd Core honeycomb structured shock absorbing material.
There is comfortable looking bench seating, storage drawer and a rain hood. With a front suspension fork that isn’t much to write home about but still works just fine, the bike is somewhat sporty. We built a classic front yard ramp and had fun seeing who could get the most air.
What fun my wife and I had, Marcus gave us a route taking in some lovely country lanes and pub stops. While the battery seems to last for a while on low power mode, high mode drains it quicker. I asked Kent Bicycles about the possibility of buying spare batteries to swap in and make for a longer ride, and they’re looking into offering them on their website. SPIN shared eScooters and eBikes must park within one of the designated SPIN GeoZones to end any ride. When riders end a trip, they must park in the GeoZone that appears on the app or SPIN may issue fines for non-compliance.
A fully fitted service centre supports our commitment to your safe cycling where all bikes (not just electric bikes) can be serviced, repaired and overhauled. A collection and delivery can be arranged with prior notice as can a loan bike. Now I ride mostly for recreation/activity (health), and when possible I commute. I note all this though to show that I am not only a “bike-friendly” person, kent mountain bike but support non-motorized vehicle use; in fact, I wish we’d get more support, tolerance, etc., because it is prudent if not environmentally smart. Without the battery, the Kent Torpedo is easy enough to pedal, though it will definitely feel a bit heavier than a typical kid’s bike. The geared motor doesn’t provide any extra resistance other than adding a couple pounds of needless weight.
