A Good Bike
Alpha was designed for an upright fit that works great for quick rides around town as well as longer rides. It strikes a balance between a Dutch bike, and a sporty hybrid that’s feels rewarding to most riders.
5 pedal assist levels
Pedal Assisted Fun
No throttle, no problem. Alpha keeps the bike in ebike with a pedal assisted drive system, meaning you still have to pedal. Choose from 5 asist levels. Keep it in 1 or 2 when cruising on the flats or punch it up to 4 or 5 when topping out the hills.

As long as you've got around 1" of clearance over the top tube you'll likely be good to go! If you're on the cusp between sizes we generally recommend sizing up!
