Specialized launched a new sub-brand called Globe dedicated to building high-quality electric utility bikes that are designed specifically to replace car trips. Globe will be \u201can extension of the Specialized brand that will focus on bringing more fun to local living while reducing the number of car, truck, and SUV trips needed for everyday transportation,\u201d the company says. <\/p>\n

E-bikes are unique among two-wheeled vehicles thanks to their very real ability to replace car trips for the vast majority of owners<\/a>, especially those trips that are under five miles. Cargo and utility e-bikes in particular excel at reducing car usage thanks to their rugged design and payload capacity. Specialized, the third-largest bicycle manufacturer in the US based on market share, says it wants to accelerate e-bike adoption, and Globe will be the company\u2019s vehicle for making this happen. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are living in the last generation able to make a difference in the fight against climate change,\u201d Saul Leiken, global category leader for Globe, told The Verge <\/em>in an email. \u201cElectricity has revolutionized the way we get around, and in order to offer the bicycle as the ultimate climate-friendly solution for everyday trips, Specialized is expanding on our traditional notions of how and why we ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
