The commuter who keeps going
Monday through Friday it is the fastest way across town. On Saturday you take the long way home, and the long way has dirt on it.
Kane K1 all-terrain e-bike
One bike for Pittsburgh's steepest streets and the trails past the city line.
A 750 W mid-drive sits low and centered at the crank. It reads how hard you push and adds power to match.
Hydroformed aluminum, a 120 mm air fork, and 2.6 in tires that hold on wet brick and loose rock alike.
Up to 70 miles on one charge. Enough for the work week, or one long Saturday.
Free 45-minute test rides in Pittsburgh. Bring your hardest hill.
Most e-bikes pick a side. City or trail. Kane built one that refuses to.
Arrive on time and dry under your jacket. Assist does the work, you keep the pace.
Canton Avenue grades stop being a reason to drive. Five assist levels, one thumb.
The torque sensor adds power in step with your legs, so it feels natural from the first block.
The battery slides out and locks. Charge it at your desk while the bike waits downstairs.
Street. Wet riverfront asphalt, bridge lights in the puddles. Full assist, no drama.
Mountain road. The grade kicks up through the pines. 95 Nm keeps your cadence steady.
Granite. Off the pavement and onto rock. The fork soaks it up, the tires bite.
Drag to spin the K1. Tap the points to see what each part does.
Monday through Friday it is the fastest way across town. On Saturday you take the long way home, and the long way has dirt on it.
Save your legs for the descent. Class 1 mode for trail rules, full torque for the fire road up.
Strap on bags, pick a direction. 70 miles of range turns a day trip into a route.
