Cowboy 3 offers<br />

one of its most recent iterations, The Domane LT+, that really feels<br />
and rides like a conventional bike, and can indeed be converted<br />
to one with the removal of the lightweight Fazua drivepack (battery<br />
and motor). But doing so misses out on the impressive capabilities<br />
of one of the smoothest e-bikes on the streets – and the trails thanks<br />
to the IsoSpeed technology that absorbs the bumps of rough terrain.<br />
RATHER MORE OF A new kid on the block, Croatia’s Greyp (greyp.<br />
com) shows the same innovative approach to two wheels as its<br />
sister company Rimac does to electric supercars. It has entered<br />
the trekking end of the market with the Greyp e-SUV T5, a bike<br />
that is a perfectly respectable option for a city commute but more<br />
than capable of taking on an Alpine jaunt. In a change from its<br />
previous models, the T5 frame is made from aluminium, which<br />
is more flexible than carbon, but it is the bike’s accessories that<br />
make it stand out. The 700Wh battery is on the large side for a<br />
trekking bike and allows the T5 a range of 100 kilometres, while a<br />
top speed of 25kph is currently being upgraded for the US market.<br />

If electric car and bike makers seem an obvious overlap, the world<br />
of e-bikes throws up some more unusual bedfellows. Take MODMO<br />
