The fact that younger kids can’t fit on it is probably a good thing. Kids should be a certain age before they are mature enough to handle the extra power of an e-bike, even a low-power one like this. Its 24V 5.2Ah battery is adorably small yet provides up to 15 miles (25 km) of range if the kid keeps it in low power mode. With a fun e-bike like this, kids that may have never expressed an interest in cycling could be hopping onto the saddle and discover the joy of life on two-wheels.
If I ever got a flat on the road, it’s going to be that much more difficult to change the tire. He previously contributed news, reviews and more to road.cc and has also had a parallel (largely lapsed) career writing about cricket for various publications. A 180W motor is relatively small and so is a 125Wh battery, but the Torpedo still weighs in at nearly 18kg. That’s quite a bit for a child to shift when there’s no power left. The announcement also tells us that since 2015, the Government of Canada has invested in almost 400 miles of active transportation trails, bike and pedestrian lanes, and recreational paths. The new $400-million fund is part of an eight-year, $14.9-billion public transit investment outlined by Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister McKenna on February 10, 2021.

It’s true that the Kent 27.5″ electric mountain bike is one of the most budget-friendly options on the market. But before you click “buy now,” be sure you know the pros and cons of this pedal-assist bike.

We hired the bikes for a day to travel from Staplehurst train station to Sissinghurst Castle. Marcus was exceptionally helpful when I was arranging the hire. His daughter helped us on the day and was able to collect us from and return us to the station. The bikes are brand new and come with all the necessary equipment. Marcus provided us with a map with a choice of routes marked out. Using the bikes is really easy and although the surrounding countryside is pretty flat, it is nice to have to electric motor if you fancy taking a breather or on the slight rises.
Lukas also said if riders do not park their vehicles in the correct zones they will continue to be charged until it is corrected. This system will hopefully stop users from leaving their vehicles in trash cans and on top of roofs. The Kent Torpedo is the first electric kent road bike bicycle that I know of designed specifically for children.

Whether you’re hitting the road, carving through the snow, or cruising on water, we’ve got you covered.
The last 7 miles turned into an obscure, unmaintained dirt/gravel downhill road covered in sticks, pinecones, sharp rocks, and other precarious tire-popping rubbish (along with a wild turkey I almost ran over). Somehow, we made it the whole 16 miles without a flat and with our brains intact. Everything was going great until I encountered a 11%, 6-degree incline.
