Why the S11 (Gen 2)
The only Gen 2 HSD that goes 28 mph
Bosch Performance Sport on the Smart System, 75 Nm, 340% assist, Class 3. Nothing else in the Gen 2 HSD range assists past 20 mph. If your commute is long enough that speed is what you care about, this is the Gen 2 HSD to get.
Shimano Deore 1×11 on a chain, with an 11 to 36 cassette. That’s a wide range, and any shop in the country can service it.
The S11 or the P5i, at the same price
The HSD P5i is also $4,499. Same frame, same 545 Wh battery, same 397 lb capacity, same fold, same vertical park. It runs a sealed Nexus 5 hub on a Gates belt and tops out at 20 mph.
You’re choosing between speed and never touching the drivetrain. Neither one is the wrong answer. They’re both on the floor, so ride them back to back.
What it does that a normal bike doesn’t
It folds down small and parks vertically against a wall on its back end. That’s the reason people buy an HSD instead of a longtail. It carries a kid and a week of groceries and then it goes in a hallway.
What’s on it
Bosch Performance Sport, Bosch Smart System, 75 Nm, 340% assist, Class 3 to 28 mph. Bosch PowerPack 545 Wh. Shimano Deore 1×11 chain drivetrain. 20 inch wheels on Schwalbe Big Ben tires. 397 lb gross vehicle weight, 176 lb rear rack. 61.9 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.
