Check out our latest REBUILD! Back in 2021 we took a 2020 Marin San Quentin frame and modififed it to accept an electric motor. This bike handles difficult terrain with ease and its a great long travel bike. However, with advancements in tech and our expanded capabilities, we decided to revisit this build and give this bike a big upgrade! Scroll below to see the modifications we made!

HIGHLIGHTED NEW FEATURES:

Removed the Kindernay geared hub and replaced it with a traditional derailleur cassette set up.
Features: Microshift Advent Medium Cage Derailleur with a clutch and paired it with a e-bike specific 11-42 cassette with a Microshift trail pro single click shifter and topped it off with a KMC e-bike specific chain in gold.
Rebuilt Bafang BBSHD motor. Includes: upgraded internals with some stronger parts and a powder coated the drive cover in Illusion Orange.
Shortened the main wiring harness to fit the bike perfectly. Extremely shortened the power leads to the battery and shortened the wiring on both the shift sensor and shift sensor lead from the motor all to fit perfectly on the bike.
