New eBike releases
Puckipuppy Beagle 2 & Beagle 2 ST
The Puckipuppy Beagle 2 ST and Beagle 2 are the latest version of the bike we recently reviewed and it addresses the biggest shortcomings we had about the first generation.
The Beagle ST is now equipped with hydraulic disc brakes and a step-thru frame, which is great for shorter people. Other than those to welcome changes, the specs look pretty much the same as the original. Read our review of the Puckipuppy Beagle 2 ST.
