FIRST LOOK: HEAD E-BIKES
The company known for tennis rackets now continues their e-bike push in the US
The e-bike industry is always in need of companies that can deliver a quality product at a decent price over a budget bike that has poor customer service. This is what Head sets out to accomplish and by the looks of it they are on their way. Still a few months out on major production of new models they were able to give us some insight on what they’ve been up to and their future plans.
BAFANG MID-DRIVE
Unlike most city style e-bikes this model will feature a modernized looking Bafang mid-drive. This feature alone sets the bike apart from many brands with a similar frame style. To us it’s a bike that is sitting right beyond entry level and the $3000 price tag is indicative of that. However, we are big fans of quality over a big easy sales push and without having ridden the bike we are anxious to see what this bikes reputation beholds.
MANY MODELS
Head is making a fleet of city cruisers, e-mtbs and regular bikes with some impressive price points again with all the indications of a quality product. Heads US base is in Iowa and they tell us they have big aspirations to compete with brands like Aventon who have also been making a big push as of the last year or two. The difference with Head is that they have a much larger selection of models to choose from. It will be really interesting to see how it goes as well as get our hands on one to get a full review.
