Crow Bicycles is introducing an ‘ultralight performance eGravel bike’ featuring removable powerpacks for dual-purpose ride. The crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo allows early backers to secure one of four models with pricing starting at US$2,900.
Crow eGravel bikes feature SRAM or Shimano groupsets. The frameset and ergonomics aim to provide a balanced positioning for ‘both the attack and the commute’.
With the powerpack integrated into the frame’s downtube, Crow adds that… ‘this is not just an e-bike; this is an ultralight performance eGravel machine with an unprecedented versatility that doesn’t sacrifice performance.’
“Crow Bicycles will build a bridge between core purists and those who want the benefit of electric assistance by providing a premium performance bike that operates comfortably in both worlds,” said David Toledo, co founder and CEO of Crow.
“Our mission is to disrupt the industry with a premium quality, performance eGravel bike that seamlessly enhances human power output.”
Crow Bicycles is accepting orders on four models ranging from fully carbon to aluminium and carbon combination framesets, all of which will be equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, carbon fibre front fork, Ritchey componentry, and Fauza Evation drive system with the removable powerpack.
Additionally, Crow is finalizing a mobile app that will help riders understand their performance and provide unique opportunities to engage directly with the brand. The app will feature GPS navigation, tracking and a speedometer, as well as metrics such as cadence, rider power output and torque generation. It can also communicate with the battery to display current battery levels, range and overview of the motor system.
Crow Bicycles is based in Madrid, Spain, and San Diego, California.
