Many Crank Forward bikes can be outfitted with an electric assist for riders who have difficulty pedaling or must climb large hills. Though most electric bikes lack the ergonomic comfort of a Crank Forward, you can have both comfort and electric assist with a custom Crank Forward bike. Adding an electric assist to a crank forward bike gives you the power and confidence to quietly go places you never thought you could.
