E-Alpaca R Step components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this e-bike has an aluminum one, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the E-Alpaca R Step model has aluminum wheels. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Garneau E-Alpaca R Step is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
