Populo Bikes (USA) – Populo Bicycles announces the immediate availability of the new Lift V2 electric bicycle across their dealer network of independent partner bike shops. Dealers received stock of the new model in mid-January.

The Populo Lift V2 is a Class II electric bicycle featuring both throttle and pedal assist operation with a step-through frame. It is powered by a 250W motor and Samsung 313Wh battery, allowing an estimated range of 28 miles or possibly more.

“Today’s e-bikes are lighter, powerful, and more affordable than ever before,” said Jeremy Griffin, national sales manager for Populo Bicycles. “We are very excited to deliver this exciting new model to our dealers at a great price.”

Populo designed the Lift V2 to be accessible to casual cyclists. Poor flexibility can limit some riders ability to swing a leg over the saddle, so the step-through frame eliminates that concern. The bike also features a suspension fork and seatpost to take the edge off rough pavement, and an upright, swept-back handlebar with ergonomic grips for a more comfortable riding position. Last, but not least, powerful mechanical disc brakes allow for easy stopping.

Lift V2 is offered in matte black or gloss white, comes in two sizes (43cm or 50cm) and retails for $1,399.99.
