Specialized has extended its e-cargo bike range with the release of the Globe Haul LT.<\/p>\n

The long-tail electric bike<\/a> combines a 100km range with a 200kg carrying capacity, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

Specialized says the Globe Haul LT has twice the rear-rack space of the Globe Haul ST<\/a> released in March 2023.<\/p>\n

Globe<\/a> is Specialized\u2019s new range of electric cargo bikes<\/a> designed to provide an alternative to car journeys in urban environments.<\/p>\n

The Globe Haul LT is available in the US only for $3,500. Specialized says it intends to distribute the bike worldwide eventually.<\/p>\n

The Globe Haul LT has a nine-speed, 1x drivetrain<\/a> with Microshift<\/a> shifters, an 11-36t SunRace cassette<\/a> and KMC chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stopping power comes from ebike-rated Tektro HD535 four-piston caliper, hydraulic disc brakes<\/a> with 203mm rotors.<\/p>\n

Specialized specs the \u201cultimate workhorse\u201d with its own electric bike motor <\/a>and battery.<\/p>\n

The Globe Haul LT\u2019s 700W rear-hub motor has five assist modes controlled with a handlebar remote (a throttle is sold separately). It is claimed to be powerful enough to help you and your stuff up steep inclines.<\/p>\n

Where electric bike laws<\/a> allow, the motor can carry the Globe Haul LT at up to 45km\/h (28mph), according to the brand.<\/p>\n

Should the ebike make it to the EU and UK, the motor would need to conform to local limits \u2013 usually 250W motor power and 25km\/h maximum assisted speed.<\/p>\n

The Globe 772Wh removable battery has a claimed range of 100km (60 miles). The battery powers integrated front and rear lights<\/a> with claimed outputs of 1,500 lumens and 50 lumens respectively.<\/p>\n

Specialized says the one-size-fits-all alloy frame is comfortable for riders from 135cm (4ft 5in) to 193cm (6ft 4in). You can adjust the telescopic seatpost by 33cm and the quill stem by 15cm.<\/p>\n

The bike itself measures 700mm at the widest point of the handlebars, 1,051mm tall (depending on seatpost height) and 1,356mm long.<\/p>\n

The Globe Haul LT\u2019s claimed 200kg carrying capacity includes the bike\u2019s claimed weight of 40kg.<\/p>\n

Cargo and passengers must be distributed evenly across mounting points.<\/span><\/figcaption> Specialized <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

That leaves 160kg to divide between the rider, cargo and passengers. Each mounting point has its own maximum weight limit.<\/p>\n

The 20in wheels drop the Globe Haul LT\u2019s centre of gravity 20 per cent lower than a typical electric cargo bike to improve stability, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

Specialized says the 3.5in Globe Reflect tyres provide comfort and traction on any terrain and feature a puncture-resistant casing.<\/p>\n

The build also includes full-length mudguards<\/a>, a rear rack and an extra-wide kickstand.<\/p>\n

The Globe Haul LT is highly customisable, with accessories such as panniers and running boards.<\/span><\/figcaption> Specialized<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The MIK-compatible (a secure, but fast-release mounting system) rear rack is twice as long (78cm) as the rack on the Haul ST. Its larger size enables you to attach up to six panniers <\/a>and carry three passengers, according to Specialized.<\/p>\n

To do so, you\u2019ll need to customise the Globe Haul LT with accessories Specialized sells separately.<\/p>\n

For example, Globe Running Boards give passengers somewhere to place their feet and Globe Cargo Bags can be fitted to the Adjustable Cargo Rail.<\/p>\n

You can also fit child seats to the rear rack, but Specialized doesn\u2019t sell these.<\/p>\n
