Electric bikes don’t have to be heavy and feel like farm machinery. Carbon fibre bike frames, historically only available to high-level athletes, are super strong and light providing a superior, efficient, responsive ride. Every Tuatara Tours HYBRID E-Bike is hand-built with careful attention to detail. Carbon fibre is two times stronger than the alloy used in premium bike frames, and at a fraction of the weight. E-Bikes don’t have to be heavy and hard to handle. The carbon fibre frames make them a joy to ride and manage, even for petite riders. With this manufacturing process you now get superior strength, reduced weight and a responsive ride. High modulus carbon fibre makes for a super-light frame to which is added a high-performance motor and high-spec components to create an E-Bike for more adventurous and comfortable trail riding.
