  • "Giorgio, hope that some day you can get to ride the bike and see what you think! Our feedback from almost all is that it is super comfortable and they are surprised how easy it is to pedal!"

  • "Great insight Dee An! This was something that was 100% thought of and planned for. The goal for the initial bike launch is to keep cost down and keep the bike extremely affordable. We are equipping the production models with mounting points under the seat for battery mounting. The goal will be to offer an electric motor kit for the bike in near future. This will be a complete kit where you just mount up the battery under the seat and install complete rear wheel and you will be ready to go!We are also planning to offer a semi-hard sided, triangular bag that will go right under the seat area and feature complete zip out sides for easy access from either side and large storage. This will be an aftermarket accessory in the coming months.Definitely love the ideas and possibilities that the bike represents. We are always looking at new ideas and directions to go! Thanks for the thought!!"

  • "Joshua, love that you like the Capuchin bike! Our goal was really to make a comfortable, fun, easy to ride bike that brings old school mini bike elements together with modern mountain bike and scooter features. We have worked hard to make sure the ergonomics keep the rider in a very comfortable upright position while still making the bike fun and lively to ride!Regarding the electrified version. It is already in the works! In fact the Capuchin will come with the necessary battery mounts under the seat and in the near future we will offer a 350W rear wheel motor kit that is 100% compatible with this bike. This will give people the ability to have both a pedal bike or an electric bike without much effort to change it over! "

  • "The bike is actually one of the most comfortable bikes you can ride! It is funny to hear a comment about discomfort and poor reliability from a person who has never ridden the bike.  Where to start here. The bike is 35lbs and utilizes a full alloy frame. It is not heavy by $400 retail bike standards. The 4.0 tires serve two purposes. First they hardly ever need air compared to a 2.0 tire which needs to be filled up weekly. Second they roll super easy and stay in motion very easily. If you leave near the beach you can ride them on the sand as I do. The bicycle is a foot forward design, so your feet are always in front of you. This rocks you back onto your sit bones and keeps you in a much more upright position. The saddle is designed for comfort not speed. Think of a beach cruiser saddle! Wide and comfortable like this one. It is probably the most reliable bike you can buy. You never need to worry about your seat being stolen. If you have friends over most can ride the bike without any adjustment. The high volume tires hardly ever need air. You can run over things without worry and the alloy frame is very durable. Easily one of the most durable bikes you can find under $1000. The seat is a very special tapered design that allows a narrower front section for smaller riders and a wider rear section for larger, taller riders. It is high density foam that is very comfortable. This is truly one of the most comfortable bikes you will ever ride. It is not a road racing bike, but it was never meant to be. This is a cruiser for trips to the coffee shop, rides along the beach or your favorite path. The Capuchin is a super durable, reliable fun cruiser that is the easiest bike you will ever own!"
