£2150

Purchased in September 2019, and ridden roughly 2000 miles, and in excellent condition - selling because my employer has gone 100% remote working, so I don't really commute anymore!

This has been a great commuting bike, happiest on the road, but also comfortable to ride on gravel paths and grass. Excellent front and rear mudguards, a Racktime luggage rack, and powerful front/rear lights are built in and run off the main battery. The bike is fully serviced, including new cassette and Swissstop green brake pads, and barely ridden since. I've also replaced the tires with puncture-resistant Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus. There's a minor paint-chip on the battery, pictured.

The electric assistance is really smooth as you pedal - select one of three levels of assistance (Eco, Normal, Turbo) and away you go. The 500Wh battery gives great range, depending on how hilly your ride is, and how much assistance you select: roughly 20 miles on maximum assist, 60 miles on Eco. The battery can be charged (roughly 2-3 hours) whilst it's attached to the bike, or can be unlocked/detached to charge indoors for convenience and security. The assistance levels can be tuned using the smartphone app.

Hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano Deore 10-speed shifters/derailleur, Suntour NCX E25 fork with 50mm of travel. Full specification on Specialized's website (the 2021 model is the same as this 2020 model, so far as I can tell). The price I'm asking reflects the as-new price of £3K, and the bike's condition. The bag pictured is a Racktime Talis Plus, which can be included for an extra £40. A speed de-restrictor could be included for an additional £120. Finally, I'm selling a 1.5m Oxford Nemesis chain (Sold Secure Motorcycle Gold) to lock up the bike, for £100.

Questions and test-rides welcome (I'm based in Purley, CR8 1BP)
