The Olive is a step-through hybrid electric bicycle. It is a retro looking high performing general purpose electric bike that uses top end parts. It has a Shimano Alivio 9 speed rear gear, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, rear hub motor and a high capacity lithium ion battery. Couple all of this to some nice extras like front and rear integrated bicycle lights, mud guards, kick stand, rear carrier rack and you have a super ebike that eclipses most similar bikes in its class and price range.
