specter 1: long range – the porsche of speed pedelecs

you ever think that your daily commute could use a serious upgrade? specter 1: long range is here to redefine what a speed pedelec can be. engineered for speed and agility, this bike features a carbon fiber frame and weighs just 26,2 kg, pushing 45 km/h with a 1.2kw motor delivering 136nm of torque.

the integrated cockpit is the crown jewel: it offers spotify integration, built-in navigation that syncs with your smartphone (reminiscent of tesla’s f.s.d.), and the option of manual or automatic gears. add in a suspended seatpost and trp 4 piston disc brakes that provide outstanding stopping power, and you’ve got a ride that’s as much about advanced tech as it is about raw performance. the design is a bold challenge to convention—making you question whether this is a “starter bike” or the porsche of speed pedelecs.

now, let’s talk numbers. the base model starts at around €9,000—yes, nearly double what you’d pay for some other speed pedelecs, positioning it as a true luxury item in the e-bike world. and my dream spec? a fully kitted-out version at €11.3k that comes loaded with extras: a suspension seatpost, a garage stand, and a rain pack with extended mudguards for extra protection. picture yourself on a long-range journey—from marseille to saint-tropez, bern to zurich, or orlando to tampa—charging from point a to b, then heading back to a, with ample juice left to make the return trip. specter’s design ethos is clear: rethink what’s possible. every component is meticulously engineered and locally developed in flanders, ensuring that no detail is left to chance.
