WHAT THEY SAID Continued from page 47
…And the thing looks cool, too, wearing a slick coat of automotive silver and crowned with that elegant motorcycle-like, vintage-inspired headlamp. But, like anything with an electric motor that’s street legal and not butt-ugly, the Tracker S isn’t exactly cheap: Almost $7,000 is a lot of cash, especially for a bicycle. Nevertheless, this machine looks awesome and is probably just the ticket for short hops around town or to the bar. ~ Andrew Cherney Cycle Volta/Cycle World We won’t call these bikes pure style because that would sell them short. They are beautiful, but they also perform extremely well and have excellent build quality. From style to substance. The Vintage bikes check all the boxes, and at a price that seems positively affordable for what you’re getting. ~ Tony Donaldson Electric Bike Action Though it borrows design cues from some of the most prestigious, collectorworthy motorcycles in the world, this Scrambler is no garage queen. The Vintage Electric Scrambler is a wolf in wolf’s clothing. It looks like it goes like hell and it goes as fast as it looks. It is one of the most capable bikes we’ve seen and it holds a special place in the Vintage Electric lineup. ~ Fully Charged, London If you’re sick of cookie-cutter e-bikes built solely for puttering around city centers, Vintage Electric might be the antidote you need. A couple months ago, the California e-bike maker took to cruising the coastline with the surfy Signature Cruz special edition, and now it’s veering toward twisting pavement and dusty high desert with the Scrambler S. The retro-inspired adventure e-bike becomes its most capable yet, inviting those that prefer “fire roads to freeways” to head for the road less traveled. ~ C.C. Weiss New Atlas
