At CSC, we love everything with two wheels. Now we’re bringing that enthusiasm for motorcycles into the bicycle market! And, yes, they are bicycles with motors! The FT750s are electric-assist bikes using high-quality components from Shimano, Samsung and Bafang to bring the best value in e-bikes to our fans.

Here is the FT750-26, which identifies a 750-watt motor and 26-inch wheels. Lightweight aluminum is used for the frame, tapered handlebar, pedals and crank.

The FT750-20 is the baby brother, with 20-inch wheels and a lower seat height but using all the same high-quality components.

The rear wheel uses a 7-speed Shimano driveline with the hub-mounted motor.

The Samsung battery is hidden in the frame downtube, while the fork has 4 inches of travel. An LED headlight and a USB port is included in the $1,688 price.

The FT750 has an easy-to-use thumb throttle and Shimano index shifter.

Both models are equipped with Shimano hydraulic brakes and huge 180mm stainless steel brake discs.

AZUSA, Calif. – CSC Motorcycles, renowned for its exceptional customer service, brings its smart sourcing and innovative delivery model to electric bicycles with the new FT750-26 and FT750-20. Both fat-tire bikes are specced out with quality components and desirable features that deliver unmatched value in the e-bike marketplace. Delivered to your door for only $1,688. 

“I became frustrated when I was shopping for an electric-assist bicycle, trying to sort through the cheap junk and the expensive stuff that costs more than our motorcycles,” explained Steve Seidner, CSC’s president. “After doing extensive research, I was able to source the exact componentry to build an e-bike that is the perfect balance of quality and value.” 

The FT750 is built around a lightweight aluminum chassis rather than heavier steel frames, and it uses a battery pack that fits integrally into the frame’s downtube for an ultra-clean appearance compared to the tacked-on battery of lesser competitors. The battery uses high-quality Samsung lithium cells to deliver 653 watt-hours of energy, enough to help power the bike for 25 to 40+ miles, depending on the amount of pedal assistance provided by its rider. 

The lockable battery pack sends its energy to an intelligent brushless controller and then to a first-rate Bafang motor mounted in the rear-wheel hub that delivers a healthy 750 watts of power. Pedal-assist rates can be adjusted to five levels, while a thumb-operated throttle can power the FT750 to 20 mph (max speed for Class 2 electric bikes) without even pedaling. Adding pedal power can boost maximum speed above 25 mph. 

Like the Samsung battery, Bafang motor, and 6061 aluminum frame, the rest of the FT750’s components are also premium quality. Some bicycle brands use primitive cable-actuated brakes, while CSC chooses Shimano hydraulic brakes biting on huge 180mm stainless steel discs for superb control. 

The esteemed Shimano brand is also found on the 7-speed Freewheel gear set and Tourney derailleur that provides adaptable gear ratios to tackle everything from steep hills to urban road speeds. The Shimano index shifter clearly displays which gear is selected. A dual-sided front sprocket guard ensures the chain remains on track even when ridden over rough terrain. 

Rider comfort is aided by a front suspension with 3.94 inches (100mm) of bump-absorbing travel, able to be fine-tuned with 8 levels of damping adjustment plus a lockout setting, as well as spring-preload adjustability. Fat Kenda Juggernaut tires look brawny and provide additional bump absorption. 

Lightweight aluminum is also used for key components such as the pedals and crank, wheel rims, and tapered handlebar. Instrumentation is via a 2.6 x 3.8-inch LCD display that monitors speed, pedal-assist rate, battery charge, trip information and even ambient temperature. 

Thoughtful convenience and safety items are part of the FT750 package. LED headlights and taillights enhance rider conspicuity, as does a handlebar-mounted bell. A handy USB port is provided to power electronic devices, and a water bottle holder enables riders to stay hydrated. A protective cage is fitted over the derailleur to prevent drivetrain damage, and frame tabs are ready to mount rear fenders or racks. 

In addition to the FT750-26, CSC offers a version with 20-inch wheels (FT750-20) that reduces the step-over and seat heights but retains all of the features of its bigger brother. CSC’s electric bicycle lineup will be growing in the coming months, and a range of convenience and comfort accessories will soon follow.  

The FT750’s modest $1,688 price is due to CSC’s innovative business model of selling direct to consumers, and the price includes free shipping anywhere in the contiguous 48 U.S. states. CSC’s bikes include a 12-month warranty backed by a company dedicated to outstanding customer service. 

The FT750s are available in Gloss White or Matte Black and are simply ordered via CSC-ebike.com.

Veteran motorcycle journalist Kevin Duke steps into key marketing position for the American brand selling quality motorcycles direct to consumers. 

AZUSA, Calif. — CSC Motorcycles is pleased to announce that it has hired veteran moto-journalist Kevin Duke as Brand Manager for the California-based company. He will be fulfilling key marketing, public relations, and media relations roles, as well as directing the brand’s content creation and social media presence. 

“We are very excited to welcome Kevin into our CSC family,” announced Steve Seidner, president of CSC Motorcycles. “With his extensive motorcycle experience and marketing background, we know he will elevate CSC Motorcycles into another level and give us an opportunity to reach riders who haven’t yet been able to learn about our bikes.” 

Duke brings more than 20 years of experience as a professional journalist for motorcycle publications, including Motorcyclist, Motorcycle-USA, and more than a decade as Editor-in-Chief of Motorcycle.com, one of the world’s biggest moto publications. More recently he worked for a premier PR/marketing company producing video content and other assets for a global motorcycle brand. 

“I’m delighted to join the CSC Motorcycles team,” Duke enthused. “I was intrigued after learning about CSC and their products, but what really hooked me was the ethical attitude exemplified by this family-operated business. They deeply care about the people in their orbit, and that holds true for their customers. After examining their business model, it became obvious that my skills are a perfect fit for CSC’s needs. I’m excited to help gain exposure for this innovative brand!”  

CSC Motorcycles uses a direct path to market, maximizing cost efficiencies to bring high-quality vehicles to its customers, built to CSC’s specifications by Zongshen. Final assembly is performed at CSC’s California headquarters, followed by a road test to ensure flawless operation before they ship directly to customers, no assembly required. 

“Some people have a misconception that products built in China are substandard, but that’s not necessarily the case,” Duke observed. “Zongshen is one of the world’s largest motorcycle producers, and CSC stocks every part for its motorcycles in case any are needed, so the CSC customer experience is top notch. Their motorbikes offer unmatched value to riders and are backed by a legitimate and attentive American company.” 

CSC Motorcycles currently offers a lineup of five models, ranging from the remarkably inexpensive TT250 dual-sport ($2,195) to the feature-packed RX4 adventure bike ($5,395). Two other exciting new models will be announced later in 2020, as well as an electric-assist bicycle.
