Since about 1880, bikes have been pretty cool, and a little battery power and speed gives them a quantum leap forward. With an electric bike, you can commute by bike more often, explore your city, ride to neighbouring towns and conquer fiendishly steep hills. Ghost has put years of experience and testing into these urban/commuter e-bikes. The Square Trekking B1.8 is decked out with a rack, lights, on-board computer, fenders and a stand. It's a fast, clean option that can reach speeds of 32km/h without making you too sweaty. Start pedalling and the motor kicks in to assist, and you can adjust the amount of extra power you want. The SR Suntour fork has 63mm of travel to smooth out potholes and rough gravel in case your commute takes you off the beaten track. Schwalbe Impac Bigpac tires add comfort, and reliable Shimano Altus shifters keep you rolling smoothly. Bottom line: the Square Trekking B1.8 is a super-speedy ride, no spandex required.
