Ridgeback's Errand E-Bike Features a High-Payload Front Rack

— July 26, 2022 — Autos
The Ridgeback Errand is the newest electric bicycle from Ridgeback, the United Kingdom-based bicycle manufacturer. The Errand is poised as a premium, all-in-one utility bike that combines powerful performance with expansive storage and a long-range battery. The bike's drive system outputs 54Nm of torque and is powered by a 375Wh battery. These components deliver an adjustable top speed in order to follow local regulations and a range that will largely differ based on the amount of electric pedal assistance required.
