Why the S00 (Gen 2)
The top of the Gen 2 range
Enviolo Heavy Duty, a stepless hub with a 380% range, on a Gates carbon belt. There are no gears to count. You twist the grip and the ratio moves, and it moves while you’re stopped. At a light at the bottom of a hill, with a kid on the back, you can dial it easy before you pedal. A chain bike won’t do that.
The Heavy Duty is the version built for load, and on a belt there’s nothing to oil, nothing to index and nothing hanging off the back to bend.
What the extra thousand buys
The HSD P5i and the HSD S11 are both $4,499 and share this frame, this battery and this 397 lb capacity. The S00 is $5,499.
What you get for the difference is the Enviolo instead of a five speed hub or an eleven speed chain. That’s it. It’s worth it if you stop and start a lot with a load. It’s not worth a thousand dollars if your ride is flat and quiet.
What’s on it
Bosch Performance Line, Bosch Smart System, 75 Nm, 340% assist. Bosch PowerPack 545 Wh. Enviolo Heavy Duty stepless hub, 380% range, with a Gates Carbon Drive CDX belt. 20 inch wheels on Schwalbe Big Ben tires. 397 lb gross vehicle weight, 176 lb rear rack. Folds and parks vertically. 61.7 lb.
Ride one on Brook Street
We’re at 181 Brook St in Providence, Wednesday through Saturday. Walk in and ride it. Every bike we sell qualifies for the Rhode Island e-bike rebate, which is $350 for most buyers and up to $750 if you income-qualify.
Features
Stronger, Stiffer Frame
The HSD frame is now 15% stronger at the head tube and 39% at the bottom bracket. That means less wobble under load and better handling in tight spaces.
Heavy-Duty Rack Design
The HSD Atlas H Rack is rated to 80 kg (176 lb). It fits a child seat, and it’s strong and roomy enough for an adult passenger or bigger loads.
Front cargo mount
The frame-mounted Combo Mount up front takes bags, baskets and racks and carries up to 20 kg (44 lb) of extra cargo. The weight sits on the frame, so it doesn’t affect steering, and you can load up the front when there’s a passenger on the back.
