E-Bike is changing the world. Or rather: the forest. In this specializ Eden case is a particularly spectacular kind. Because what is built by Americans, and of their discerning clientele, the very appearance of a work of art. Idiosyncratic Design, the only of a visible shock, the lack of speedo on nudity unmistakably the end of the line of the handlebars, the pure bar display on the top tube and the battery be laminated to the carbon frame – all this makes the new Turbo Levo Expert on first glance, unusual. And sexy. It was the task of the developers is quite simple: Makes the 2015 featured success model even more successful.
