Tarran has introduced their new L1 series after a sneak peek. The top model, L1S, comes equipped with the Enviolo Automatiq Pro. This system allows for continuously variable shifting, though it does have a limited gear range. It can also shift automatically, adjusting the gear ratio to match a preferred cadence. The bike features a mid-motor that delivers a maximum torque with a peak power of 750 watts. However, the continuous output is capped at 250 watts, likely due to EU regulations. Power is sent through a carbon belt, and the bike is fitted with a 693 Wh removable battery, making it easier to replace if it malfunctions.
Compact Design with Practical Features
The bike is fitted with 20-inch tires, which means the wheels are quite small. It has an extended rear rack for carrying extra passengers and a front rack as well, allowing for the transportation of both people and luggage simultaneously. Parking can be tricky with two-wheeled cargo bikes, but the L1S includes an electric two-legged stand that is easy to operate from the handlebars.
Innovative Safety Features
You can also adjust the saddle height with just the push of a button. The bike is equipped with a mmWave radar system to detect vehicles coming from behind, and you can even view rear traffic on a 5-inch screen via a camera. Although the e-bike isn’t available for purchase yet, you can reserve yours with a $50 refundable deposit, which gives you a $200 discount during the crowdfunding campaign in April.
