The Specialized Globe Haul ST was long anticipated, and has not disappointed. Perhaps the most versatile, most powerful short wheelbase e-Bike ever offered, and at a terrific price point in the rear hub power unit design class, the Globe Haul ST delivers speed, stability, and plenty of standard and optional accessories to satisfy the most dedicated "edge-case" riders. Specialized has set out their guiding principles in bringing the Globe nameplate back into their line-up based on the purpose to harness the power of the bicycle to pedal the planet forward. Specialized has taken everything the innovative company has learned over the past 50 years and poured it into the creation of Globe. For those who remember the 2009 launch of the Globe commuter and utility series of pedal bikes, the essence of both the old and new Globe initiatives is happily familiar.

Designed for whatever you’re into, get more into it with the Specialized Globe Haul ST. With more power, more cargo, and more options, this fully customizable electric bike can haul up to 419 pounds including bike and rider and up to 60 miles with an average sized rider. Plus, with a standard rear rack, integrated front and rear lights, and numerous accessory mounts, you can arrange your ride for any errand at any time- day or night. The Haul ST drives you forward with serious momentum. A 700w rear hub motor delivers enough power to get you and all your gear up steep hills, and all the way across town at top speed. The 772wh battery provides enough juice to tackle the biggest missions with up to 60 miles of range. Sold as a Class 3 throttle-less e-bike, with a top speed of 28mph, the Globe can handle the streets or e-Bike Class 3 approved paths.

Specialized has made monitoring and managing the bike simple and direct. Mounted on the left side of the handlebar, the Globe HMI offers a 1.4‘’ screen, as well as a USB port, and Bluetooth. The rider can see the speed, battery level, distance, and turn on/off light. The rider can also can use the USB port to charge a cell phone. The pedal gearing and drive system work seamlessly together, for safe, smooth accelerations. A 50T front chainring is paired with a 9-speed, 11-36T cassette for a wide range to complement the motor power while also making the Haul ST rideable otherwise. An optional throttle control unit that mounts next to, and plug into, the Globe HMI, allows you to motor up to 20mph without needing to pedal. Your lifestyle and use-case will likely drive your decision to opt for the throttle, or not.

This is an e-bike for almost all size riders. The unique, single-size frame fits people from around 4’5” all the way up to 6’4”.The standard equipment offers substantial fit flexibility. The telescoping seatpost has over 13 inches of adjustability, and the quill stem can extend almost 6 inches to provide comfort to almost every rider. The low standover height and stability largely comes from the sturdy frameset, but also from the wheels and tires. These 20” diameter wheels help keep all bike and cargo weight low to the ground for improved stability. The extra wide 3.5” Carless Whisper tires provide comfort and traction on any terrain and feature a 3-ply casing for superior flat protection.

The Globe Haul ST comes out of the box ready for any task with an included MIK-compatible rear rack, full-coverage fenders, integrated lights (by Lezyne), and a center 2-leg, motorcycle-type stand. The additional accessory mounting points and a full suite of Globe equipment means you can customize your ride to your specific needs. A set of four items in the passenger kit allows you set up a safe rear seat for a smaller person up to 88 pounds. A plethora of optional cargo options, such as a front rack (44lb load rated), pannier-style storage options, and various accessory mounting points will keep you supplied and prepared for your daily life.
