DirtySixer Bikes captured plenty of attention and plus-size fans back in the end of 2021 when it launched its 'AllRoad Mark II' bike that catered to riders from above-average heights all the way up to 7'5", but the company is not content to rest on its laurels, taking its giant-sized bicycle prowess into the electric arena with the advent of the 'eDirtySixer," an electric-assist bike designed for the bigger and taller among us.
Designed by none other than 6'6"-tall company founder David Folch, this electric-assist bike's current iteration is equipped with a 250-watt Shimano motor that works in conjunction with a lithium battery pack with a 500-watt-hour capacity. This setup enables a top pedal-assisted speed of 32 km/h.
Set to be made available for preorder shortly, this electric-assist bike is expected to be priced around the $8,000 mark.
