Specialized has created more than just an electric bike with the Globe Haul ST – it’s a revolutionary solution for urban mobility that challenges how we think about short-distance transportation. At its core, this cargo e-bike is designed to make everyday trips more convenient, sustainable, and genuinely enjoyable.
The magic of the Globe Haul ST lies in its thoughtful design that bridges the gap between utility and riding pleasure. Unlike many cargo bikes that feel cumbersome and awkward, this model rides remarkably like a traditional bicycle. As test editor Dan Chabanov astutely observes, this is a rare and significant achievement in the world of cargo e-bikes.
Imagine a bike that can effortlessly carry a week’s worth of groceries, transport your furry friend to daycare, or replace your car for short urban trips – all while feeling as nimble and responsive as a standard bicycle. The wide 20- x 3.5-inch tires provide stability and absorb road imperfections, keeping riders comfortable and confident. With an impressive cargo capacity of 419 pounds, the Globe Haul ST transforms urban transportation from a chore into an experience.
The bike’s design philosophy is fundamentally about motivation and practicality. Specialized wants to encourage riders to reconsider car trips, offering an alternative that is not just environmentally friendly, but actually fun to ride. The powerful 700W electric assist and ability to reach speeds up to 28 mph mean you’re not sacrificing performance for utility.
What truly sets the Globe Haul ST apart is its ability to feel “normal” while doing extraordinary things. Most cargo e-bikes compromise ride quality for carrying capacity, but this model breaks that mold. It’s a bike that doesn’t feel like a compromise – it feels like a solution. Whether you’re a city commuter, a parent running errands, or someone looking to reduce their carbon footprint, this e-bike offers a compelling alternative to traditional transportation.
The Specialized Globe Haul ST isn’t just a mode of transport; it’s a statement about how we can reimagine urban mobility – making it more sustainable, more efficient, and infinitely more enjoyable.
