The eSpresso CC is the rugged sibling of the regular eSpresso, with wider and grippier high-volume tyres on 650b wheels. Whilst it's happy in the urban jungle thanks to standard-fit mudguards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand, it's also capable of taking trips along forest trails and gravel tracks for fun. All eSpresso CC models are equipped with a refined, powerful Shimano STEPS pedal-assist motor. Smooth, comfortable progress is assured by suspension forks and powerful hydraulic disc brakes allowing effortless, controlled braking. All electric bikes have an approved rider and equipment weight of up to 150 kg, meaning there's plenty of capacity for you and your luggage.
