Mum and Dad have a lovely e-bike, so young riders naturally want to join in. The Acid 240 Hybrid Rookie SLX gives them technology and equipment close to the full-size models, specially adapted for young riders. The Bosch SX motor and 400-watt-hour battery provide the power to handle hills and longer rides easily. Family outings suddenly become much more fun.
The rest of the equipment is impressive too. The Shimano Cues 11-speed drivetrain shifts smoothly, and the Suntour fork with adjustable air suspension makes short work of bumps.
