Orange Alpine 6 E LE 27.5 Electric Bike 2018 Fizzy Orange
We’ve been closely watching e-bike components maturing since the very first prototypes. Our first thought was, if we’re going to do this we need to build what we would call a proper bike not a ‘concept’ piece for the show halls but a working, useable mountain bike for the terrain we ride. The E.P.O. program was born. Working with Shimano we based our design around the E-8000 pedal assist drive. We like so many features of this unit. Standard MTB pedal Q-factor, zero drag and most importantly the fact that we do not have to compromise our geometry. The Alpine 6 E rides much like a standard Alpine 6, with extra ‘Vroooom’ on the ascents. We added 20mm to the wheelbase to keep the front down when climbing under power and to give more stability at speed. The resulting bikes have been a revelation. Every test rider has come back raving about their experience on the bike and how it will bring a major new way of thinking for the sport. We just love where e-biking is going and we think the Alpine 6 E is a benchmark in that progression. We think you will too.
