Bandit, an electric bike startup, has recently opened its first retail store in Santa Monica, California. In celebration of this occasion, they've released the X-Trail Pro, an electric bike with a seemingly insatiable thirst for power. This powerful two-wheeler boasts multiple motors, full-suspension, and impressive range, making it appropriate for all sorts of terrains.
Despite being promoted as a street-legal e-bike, the Bandit X-Trail Pro looks more like an electric moped and is obviously aimed at off-road aficionados. Its thrilling performance is underscored by a 750-Watt front-hub motor and a 1,000W rear hub, which allow it to achieve a top speed of 42 miles per hour. Having said that, the bike uses a basic cadence sensor with seven degrees of pedal-assist rather than a high-tech torque sensor that tailors power delivery with each pedal stroke. The X-Trail Pro also has a twist throttle for speeds up to 38 mph, and a seven-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain.
