Built by California-based Vintage Electric, the Cruz is a classic Orange County cruiser made to stand the test of time, with cool design elements reminiscent of the American Art Deco movement, of the early 1900s. Reaching a top speed of 20 MPH in Street Legal, and 36 MPH in Race Mode, this bike is one of the fastest we’ve encountered so far, and its components are top-notch. We’re talking about the Shimano Alfine hydraulic disk brakes, the stylish sandcast aluminum battery box, the powerful LED lighting, a Phil-Wood front hub, the Brooks England Ltd leather saddle and grips. More features include a chromoly steel frame, regenerative breaking, hand crafted alder wood tank inlay, Schwalbe Fat Frank tires (woven with KevlarGuard), plus optional Pedal Assist, taillight, and a Brooks England leather bag to carry your gear. The Cruz E-Bike is a limited edition of only 50 units, and it comes in 3 colors: Fiesta, Aqua, and Cola.
