“If you want to charge faster than any bike on the planet…”

you’ll need buy a new full suspension Turbo Levo 4 electric mountain bike from Specialized, apparently. It features a new 12A, 700W “Super Charger” that can charge its 840Wh removable battery to 80 percent in less than an hour — take that USB-C! Add a 280Wh range extender and you can ride for about 4.75 hours in eco mode even with “significant elevation gain.” It’s also the first Specialized e-MTB with gear storage in the downtube.

One catch: prices start at $7,999 and go up to $13,499.

<em>It’s fitted with a new 720W mid-drive S-Works 3.1 motor that produces an impressive 111Nm of torque that’s said to be consistent at any cadence. That should help flatten very steep climbs while giving you a controlled boost over technical sections.</em>
