The bike
- The DB-E frame is welded, powder coated and assembled in Detroit.
- It weighs a claimed 32 pounds and uses a Zehus all-in-one hub with the motor and battery built in. The hub is European-made, so the bike is USA-built rather than all USA-made.

- It has a Veer belt drive and hydraulic disc brakes, and sells for $2,599 in black or green, with shipping planned for mid-March.
