Its top-of-the-line GX0 system, used on both Van Dessel models, weighs 2.95 kilograms (6 pounds, 8 ounces) and generates 90 nM of torque. He said the Univega models have the potential to sell up to 10,000 units, and the Van Dessel models up to 3,000 units in the U.S. and 20,000 worldwide. Kent eventually plans to sell a complete line of “deluxe e-bikes” under the Van Dessel brand in the U.S. and Europe.
Kent currently offers three electric models for adults, plus one for kids. Alongside the 27-inch Kent Electric and Kent Step-Through Electric, the Cruiser is more of a unisex offering and is available exclusively from Walmart. Bringing scooters on campus was the most popular part of our student government platform. Spin has been a great partner, and together we’ve implemented a program that the students love and that the administration feels good about.
The motor is supplied by an adorable little 24v 5.2Ah battery. The motor doesn’t add any assist unless the rider is pedaling, and the assist cuts out immediately when pedaling stops. There’s even a six-speed transmission that makes the bike extra pedal-friendly even without any electric assist.
We have a huge customer base for electric bikes in Kent. If you have seen one on the street there, it was probably supplied by E-Bikes Direct. We know from experience our bikes are built to tackle the terrain of the Kent countryside & cities, both on and off road, with ease. Our Prices range from less than £500 right up to our exquisite carbon-frame e-bikes at £10000.

At this price point, you’re going to have to deal with some compromises. I wish the bike came standard with thru-axles or quick-release skewers for the wheels. If I ever got a flat on the road, it’s going to be that much more difficult to change the tire. The Kent Electric kent bayside cruiser Cruiser is a very pretty bike, with the removable Samsung lithium-ion battery integrated into the frame. Given the fire-engine red color scheme, 26-inch whitewall tires, and swooping handlebars, I felt like a fatter, hairier Pee Wee Herman pedaling around my city.
The service from Marcus was brilliant, gave us all a very detailed but efficient training session and off we went. All of the bikes worked very well, no technical problems and it was the best way to explore the countryside. Would highly recommend hiring these bikes if you’re planning for something to do whilst in the Biddenden. These are typically 24” or 26” mountain bikes, but the Kent Torpedo is particularly striking because it’s a 20” bike. Kent’s specialty brands, Van Dessel and Univega, this spring will launch the company’s first e-bike models incorporating new Panasonic mid-drive systems. The e-bikes will be assembled in Kent’s South Carolina factory and sold in North America and Europe.
