Product news: The Santa Cruz Skitch is finally coming to Europe. This urban/gravel e-bike, previously exclusive to the American market, is perfect for quick escapes from everyday life as well as extended off-road tours. However, the bike will only be available in very limited numbers in Europe, meaning the Skitch is likely to remain a rare sight on our continent.
The Santa Cruz Skitch is for anyone who wants to spend more time on their bike in everyday life. Sporty, well-designed, and lightweight, it aims to expand your horizons. Less time behind the wheel and more time on two wheels. The Skitch provides pedal assistance up to 25 km/h and, according to Santa Cruz, has a range of over 100 kilometers. With a torque of 60 Nm, the Fazua motor delivers powerful propulsion on steep climbs and during acceleration.
Thanks to its lightweight CC carbon frame with a rigid carbon fork, the bike is designed to maneuver effortlessly through traffic and even be carried up and down stairs. This is further supported by the manufacturer's stated weight of just 13,8 kilograms (Apex Flat Bar). Exclusivity is ensured not only by the limited production run in Europe but also by the price of €6.499,00. A slight disappointment for gravel enthusiasts: in Germany, only the Apex Flat Bar kit will be available.
