ElectricBikes.com take
The Alpha ST is the speed-and-range pick: a bigger battery and 28 mph pedal assist on full-size 26-inch fat tires, with 4-piston brakes to match. 28 mph is Class 3 territory, so check where you'll ride, and it's still a single-speed at 70 lb.
Key features, as MURF lists them
- 28 mph Class 3 pedal assist
- Largest battery of these three (1040Wh)
- 4-piston hydraulic brakes
- 26x4 fat tires
- Integrated rear rack
