Bosch may be big in the world of electric bikes, but thanks to one endeavoring electric bike manufacturer, it just got a whole lot bigger. That\u2019s because DirtySixer has now launched its oversized e-bikes with Bosch mid-drive motors. The eDirtySixer<\/a> rolls on the biking equivalent of massive wagon wheels sized at either 32\u2033 or 36\u2033, now fitting those that just couldn\u2019t fit on a Bosch-powered e-bike before.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DirtySixer, founded by the 6\u20196\u2033 (198 cm) David Folch, has long been the bicycle company of choice for the big and tall among us. It\u2019s become the go-to bike company for famous athletes like Shaquille O\u2019Neal and Lebron James, whose larger-than-life figures have caused trouble fitting on any normal-sized bike.<\/p>\n

\u201cTall riders often struggle with cramped riding positions on standard bikes,\u201d explained the company. \u201cWith its larger frame and adjustable components, this electric bike provides a comfortable and ergonomic riding experience, reducing strain on the back, neck, and shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n

DirtySixer went electric a few years ago<\/a>, but now has updated its rides with the latest in German mid-drive motors.<\/p>\n

The bikes start at size XL and go up to size 4XL, offering both 32\u2033 and 36\u2033 wheel sizes. The XL frame size can fit riders down to a mere 5\u201910\u201d (178 cm), while the 4XL will feel comfortable for riders up to 7\u20194\u2033 (225 cm).<\/p>\n

For comparison, here is an eDirtySixer with 36\u2033 wheels next to a 29\u2033 wheel bike, which is generally considered an already giant wheel for \u201cnormal\u201d bikes.<\/p>\n

Powering the new rides is a Bosch CX Line Gen 4 mid-drive motor, one of the leading mid-drive motor makers in the industry. It offers up to 600W of power and 85 Nm of torque. The motor is limited to 25 km\/h (15 mph) in Europe, but can reach speeds of up to 20 mph (32 km\/h) in the US.<\/p>\n

Not only is the aluminum frame of the bike larger than you\u2019d find on any other e-bike, but it\u2019s also designed to be adaptable. \u201cFrom the seat post to the handlebars, every aspect of this bike is adjustable to accommodate riders of varying heights,\u201d explained the company.<\/p>\n

The bikes come complete with quad-piston Tektro hydraulic disc brakes (include two of them on the fork!), Shimano LinkGlide Cues 10-speed transmissions, and DirtySixer Vee T-Monster 2.4\u201d x 32\u201d (686mm) or 2.25\u201d x 36\u201d (787mm) tires.<\/p>\n
