Priority E-Coast Bicycle

The Gates Carbon Drive belt is grease-free, meaning it won't attract sand or grit like a lubricated chain. It is virtually maintenance-free and won't rust, making it ideal for coastal environments where salt air typically corrodes metal components.

Yes, the E-Coast features a twist throttle that allows you to engage the motor without pedaling, which is helpful for starting from a stop or cruising without effort. You can also choose to use pedal assist if you prefer a more traditional cycling feel.

The 576 Wh battery is rated for up to 60 miles on a single charge. Keep in mind that your actual range will vary based on rider weight, terrain, tire pressure, and how much you rely on the throttle versus pedal assist.

Yes, the battery is housed within the rear rack and is easily removable. This allows you to bring the battery inside to charge it, which is convenient if you don't have an outlet near where you store your bike.

The 3-inch wide tires provide a larger contact patch, which offers excellent stability and traction on boardwalks and packed sandy paths. While it isn't a dedicated fat-tire bike for deep, soft sand, it is significantly more stable than a standard commuter bike.
