California-based company Haro Bikes continues to make strides with its latest addition, the Skwad LT. Positioned as a compact electric commuter, the bike targets the rising demand for urban mobility solutions.
The Skwad LT distinguishes itself with its practical design, featuring 20-inch wheels and forgoing suspension for a focused on-road experience. Despite its compact form, the bike maximizes utility by incorporating the AtranVelo System, facilitating the attachment of various cargo accessories such as bags, baskets, and crates.
Technologically, the Skwad LT is equipped with a 250-watt compact hub motor and a 36-volt, 300-watt-hour battery neatly housed within the downtube. This configuration not only ensures decent performance but also contributes to a low center of gravity, enhancing stability. The battery promises up to 28 miles of range on a single charge, and the bike incorporates a safety feature that automatically halts the motor when brakes are applied. For reliable stopping power, hydraulic disc brakes are employed.
Standard components include a Shimano Altus eight-speed drivetrain, providing efficiency in various terrains. The bike’s cockpit features a BMX-inspired two-piece handlebar and a Haro Base Line BMX-style stem, offering riders control and leverage over the handlebars. Adding a tech-savvy touch, the bike allows connectivity with smartphones, providing real-time weather updates, battery monitoring, diagnostics, and navigation features. The system can even suggest route changes based on the rider’s current battery status.
Priced at $2,399 USD, the Haro Skwad LT presents an attractive option for urban commuters seeking a reliable and versatile electric bike. More information about the Skwad LT and other models in Haro’s lineup can be found on their official website.
