Skillion X – friends only

We had such great support for the Skillion project but didn't have enough pledges to make the MOQ, though everyone got a full refund we were all disappointed as we want the bike!!

Over the last few months I've been working with the factory to make us a short-run of bikes just 10. I really pushed them to add in a few improvements, ones that I felt would make a big difference but not add too much to the cost.

We've added hydraulic disk brakes, this overcome the extra rolling momentum the fat-tires produce and you can stop these bikes on a dime with just one brake (ok maybe not a dime) maybe a 50 cent coin. We've kept the light alloy frame but added front suspension, a head light, an extra 10% bigger battery and upped the max load to 120 kgs to make it that bit tougher. For Smarts the Skillion X comes with a Pedalic system, this automatically provides power when your pedalling in levels depending whether you want range or power by a flick of the switch. We've kept the throttle, because powering along with the throttle is just so much fun!.

But the really big deal is the motor. We've moved over to a Mid-drive, an 8Fun 250Watt motor. This is 25% more power than the original Skillion and being in front of the gears, means you get the increased torque to rip up the hills!
