ES 
Santa Cruz has made its first ever electric commuter bike. Called the Skitch! It will forever change how you get around the big city. Equipped with a fast and efficient Fazua Ride 60 motor and 430Wh battery. It even comes in flat bar and drop bar builds for different travel needs. Say goodbye to your car and hello to long, fun days in the saddle.
Unmatched e-Bike Power
The Skitch is light, fast and nimble with a Fazua Ride 60 motor. It runs up to 28 mph for up to 60 miles. Few e-bikes can top that range. Three power modes let you choose the amount of pedal assistance. Breeze for conservative energy, River for balanced performance, and Rocket for optimal speed. It takes just 3 and a 1/2 hours to charge up the 430Wh battery. Then you can monitor battery life right in the top tube.
Drop Bar and Flat Bar Builds
You can get the Skitch as a long-rage drop bar bike for gravel adventures. Or as a flat bar urban bike is for the big city. So you can choose exactly where and how you want to ride. All four builds come with a light and efficient carbon CC frame. Small to extra-extra-large sizes work for up to 6’6″ cyclists.
Stigmata-Based Geometry
Geometry specs are based on the Santa Cruz Stigmata with small changes. The head angle is a half-degree slacker and the wheelbase is slightly longer. Plus a 7mm longer chainstay on all sizes.
