nearly three years ago. After taking time to fully flesh out the brand with a full range of e-bikes, founder Mat Rauzier and his team are finally ready to launch a fully thought out eXXite brand. The new eXXite line up includes the X1 as well as a host of new tech-focused electric bikes aimed at a wide range of possible use cases.
I eagerly sought out the new eXXite bikes and spent some quality time with each one in the shop and riding them around the narrow alleys of the Gothic Quarter. Naturally, the flagship of the eXXite line, the X1, was first up. It is a full-sized electric bike with an aggressive speed bike style posture. The frame is what sets this bike apart from the masses, with its flowing oversized frame paying homage to the likes of the Cruiser and the Clubman in sister company RayVolt’s lineup.
As an app, it can easily be updated as new features are added, even pushing firmware updates directly down to the bike. EIVA is truly next level and even after spending thousands of hours on hundreds of different electric bikes over the years, it blew me away. Features like EIVA’s AutoPAS, which uses the gyro from the phone to automatically detect a hill and increase or decrease the pedal assistance system accordingly, exist on no other bike.
