The NORCO Scene VLT is perhaps the most comfortable urban step-through bicycle we’ve come across. We loved doing electric conversions with front or rear hub motors on the older scene models but this year NORCO have brought out a factory produced electric model. It’s not cheap, retailing at $3990, but you’d be hard pressed to find something as comfortable and as full of hidden features as this model. For starters, the electrics include the SHIMANO STEPS E6100 system with a 504Wh battery on the down tube. The SHIMANO mid-drive motor is beautiful, it’s nearly silent and extremely well-supported in Australia on the very odd chance there is a failure. The 500Wh battery, equivalent to 36V 14Ah, will give a great riding range as well. Likely around 50-100km depending on power mode setting and rider input. Other features include Alivio 9 speed gears, Tektro HD hydraulic disc brakes, through-axles and a dropper seat pole. If you are looking for an extremely comfortable and high quality ebike then we highly recommend you come into our Fremantle shop for a free test ride. They are available in jade, black and blue with small, medium and large frame sizes.
