KEY FEATURES
Yes, you can, the frame is dropper post ready.
Theoretically yes, as long as the spline on the cassette matches that of the rear hub - we suggest a SRAM SX Eagle 12 speed groupset.
Yes, this bike can ride without the battery. No it will not damage the bike.
Yes you can, but maybe give it a trial run first, to see if the bike still rides like it should. The geometry may be completely wrong, but since we have not tested it, we can not tell you how exactly it will react.
S-Electro Skid frame is manufactured from hydro formed 6061 alloy for a light and strong frame capable of dealing with the added weight and internal forces of an electric drive system. Hydro forming produces lightweight complex tube profiles that are stronger than comparative round tubing. The sidewalls can also be thinner, resulting in an overall lighter bike build, essential when building a kids bike. The frame is identical on both wheelsizes.
The S-Electro Skid has plenty of power, running on the Shimano Steps E7000 motor. The Skid, due to its light weight and payload, with the included 504Wh internal battery, has massive range. Lighter payloads puts less strain on the electric system and so batteries last longer than for heavier riders. The battery recharges to 80% in under 3 hours, and should give 50 - 100km of range depending on the assist use and the terrain the bike is used on. The on-bar display is also easy to use, and offers all essential information at the click of the controls.
An SR Suntour XCR 24" suspension fork with lockout is easy to set up for young riders, and is sensitive enough to react to rider and terrain influences if setup correctly. This makes it great on a light rider's bike!
The S-Electro Skid frame design is dual purpose, being used on both the 24" and the 27.5" versions, with all the right characteristics when built in either of these sizes. The geometry is designed to inspire confidence with young riders, promoting balance.
Factory pre-taped Surface alloy tubeless ready 24" wheels makes setting up your youngster's bike as tubeless quick and painless - just add sealant and valves and inflate.
Shorter legs and lower BB's require shorter crank arms, and so the Skid is fitted with 165mm crank arms to accommodate young legs and to keep pedal strikes at bay.
A purpose chosen MicroShift 9 speed groupset offers plenty of gear options and along with the Shimano electric assistance, is an excellent choice for all terrain and fitness levels.
The S-Electro Skid is fitted with quality, durable Surface alloy control parts.
