Ditch the car while increasing your fun-to-suffer ratio with the Santa Cruz Bicycles Skitch CC Apex 700C Complete eBike. Whether you're commuting, grocery running, or roasting around after lunch, this is a bike that'll accentuate the good while nearly eliminating the bad.

Through crowded intersections on the bike path, for example. But when it's time to go ham, you've got up to 430 watts of help, to get you up to Class 3 race pace (28mph!) in an instant. Unreal! Live life with the wind at your back and say adios to the struggle, the Santa Cruz Skitch has staked its claim!
Product Details
Key Features
Carbon CC Frame – Santa Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.
Wheel Size – 700c
Fazua Ride 60 Drive Unit – 60 Nm of torque but more compact and lighter weight than full-power systems.
Fazua Energy 430Wh Battery – The Fazua Energy 430Wh battery is powerful, compact and lightweight, delivering 430Wh of power and integrating seamlessly into the frame.
Top Tube Integrated LED Display – Lights display battery charge and three ride modes.

The 430Wh battery, 60Nm torque, 250Wh continuous power, 450Wh peak power, and overall bike weight work harmoniously together. This all equates to an experience that exceeds what you might expect from its numbers. -

Seatpost
Zipp Service Course Zipp’s Service Course seatpost is light weight and strong for security and designed to offer a precise fit at an affordable price. It also provides easy tool access to the downward facing bolt for easy setup and micro adjustments after it’s mounted. Better fit means better performance to make you faster. An out-of-position saddle means wasted energy with every pedal stroke. The secure, low-profile clamp allows the saddle to slide farther back along the rails, and with 0 and 20mm setback options, it’s possible for nearly any rider to achieve the perfect fit. For high strength, low weight, and efficient use of every gram, the shaft and head are not bonded but are 3D-forged from 6061 aluminum. The Service Course seatpost is 350mm in length. - Hubs: DT Swiss 370 | Centerlock | 28H | 12 x 100mm Front / 12 x 148mm Rear
