Equipped with the new Bosch SX sprint motor this bike will help eliminate the climbs on your gravel adventure or get you to your appointment in the city faster than a car!  Throw on a 250wh range extender and increase your ride by over 60%.  This bike is perfect for those craving a lighter option that pedals so smoothly that you will forget it is an e-bike until you look at your speedometer. 

The Lombard E brings Bosch assisted performance to drop bars. Great for gravel, commuting or just long, assisted road rides, both Lombard models are built upon Series 4 aluminum Beyond Road frames with 400Wh batteries securely mounted inside the downtube. Bosch's Performance Line SX drive unit provides 55Nm of quiet and natural-feeling torque to zip you along.
