Although SoCal MX enthusiasts will remember “Saddleback” as a moto Mecca back in the day, Saddleback is now serving as an inspiration to a new generation of riders in the form of Greenger Powersports’ latest electric balance bike. An expansion of their proprietary CRF-E2 product with Honda, the little Saddleback is available to all dealers.
“With the success of the CRF-E2, it was a clear indicator kids of all ages want to ride,” explains Greenger Sales & Marketing Manager Brad Chapman. “We want everyone to experience life on two-wheels powered by Greenger.”
Motivation comes from a 22V 150W Ultra-Quiet hub motor coupled with a long-lasting LG battery. “The LG battery uses a toolless bracket to make it quick and easy to swap,” adds Chapman. “You have two sizes to choose from — 12” or 16” — with three adjustable speed modes and it even has a push mode for the younger ones.” These features allow the Saddleback to grow with kids and their riding capabilities.
With the mindset that everyone should ride, Greenger will be releasing a family of models in 2023 to get the masses outdoors. Meanwhile Saddleback began shipping to dealers this week — MSRP for the 12” is $749 and the 16” retails for $949. All other models will become available in Q1 of 2023.
