Brand
Espin is an electric bike startup focused on simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability.
Josh and Yina, the co-founders of Espin, come from a family of entrepreneurs who value creating products and services that create a positive impact in the world. After traveling extensively throughout Europe and Asia, they were inspired by the countries’ transportation frameworks, which led to the creation of Espin.
When they moved to San Francisco, they had every best intention that traditional bikes would be our commute. The city’s (in)famous hills had other intentions. Every climb… made it easier to take the bus. Every incline… it seemed simpler to call Uber. But that cost adds up, both in dollars — and in terms of the way they wanted to live.
An electric bike would make short order of steep hills. But the steep starting price was at least $5K. With their experience and connections in China and Taiwan, they knew they could do better. So they built their own. They made it modern, they focused on quality. It was affordable. And it was a joy to ride. When family and friends wanted in on all that… they built a few more.
But what started as a business… became something richer. Riding again felt good. Riding electric felt exhilarating!
Nero changed our lives,
My wife and I are in our 60,s . We both got Neros and we love biking every day. We never would get out and now we ride them every where. These bikes are awesome. I have rented other more expensive brands when traveling and have been disappointed , Espin is the best in my opinion.
The Espin Nero Is Numero UNO!
For over three months now, I’ve tested the Nero around the many steep and scenic hills of San Francisco such as Pacific Heights, Russian Hill & Golden Gate Heights. All were easily climbed with the well equipped motor and pedal assist.
In comparison to a number of similarly configured 750W fat tire bikes that I’ve ridden, none is as powerful as the Nero.
With the sturdy front & rear racks, grocery shopping & other errands can easily be done without having to rely on a car or public transportation. Exercise & fresh air instead of stagnation & pollution!
For price, utility, power and overall value in its class, the Espin Nero is numero UNO
Man do I love my new ride! I feel like I have a new lease on life!
I used to ride my bicycle to get around in my youth. This bike makes me feel young again. Such a feeling of freedom! I look forward to hopping on my Espin Nero as often as I can! Thanks! John
It’s well-built, looks bad-ass and is smooth and stable. Plenty of power & range. No problems so far. Just took 3 months to arrive.
Nero Bike
I love the bike. It definitely is heavier than we thought it would be. I am not happy with the color. I ordered a beautiful blue and instead received a deep blue (almost black) color.
