The United States tends to make changes slowly until a tipping point is reached. And then, change can be startlingly fast.

 

That tipping point has occurred with electric bikes in the last two years. We are on our way to becoming the most profitable and largest western market for electric bikes.

 

The Propella V4.0 emphasizes the “bike” in e-bike. First and foremost, it feels like a traditional bicycle while you’re riding it, but with an added boost on hills and during acceleration. I’d relate the riding experience to feeling physically at 100 percent, while riding with a tailwind. The assistance never takes over the ride experience as a whole, instead it does a great job of completing it.
