Summary:A sleek carbon frame, one-piece carbon handlebar and stem, carbon wheels ($1,800 extra), andShimano 1x11 GRX drivetrain keep the complete bike weight to a paltry 26 pounds. The turning radius of this three-wheeler is big compared with that of most two-wheeled models, but we think this is a worthy trade-off for its stability, which is a great attribute when carrying heavy loads (or excited children). At 31 pounds, it's not as light as LeMond's Prolog, but testers noted that the durable aluminum frame and understated appearance are important traits for an e-bike that may get locked up in busy public spaces like offices, college campuses, and coffee shops.
