If you're into cycling in any way whatsoever, chances are you're familiar with Specialized. Having been basically obsessed with cycling since I was in pre-school, I've always associated Specialized with some of the top-quality mainstream bicycle frames and components out there. While it is, indeed a household name in the world of cycling, it's anything but cheap, and even its most entry-level bikes can set you back close to a thousand dollars.
Naturally, as is the case with all things in life, the world of bicycles is rapidly evolving, riding the tide of the massive technological advancements surrounding the world of mobility. E-bikes in all shapes and forms are fast becoming integrated into the mainstream world of cycling. Heck, for the first time in my life, I recently participated in a race dedicated solely to electric mountain bikes. Apart, of course, from the sporting side of cycling, electric bicycles continue to play a major role in serving as a means of mobility, especially for city dwellers.
