Progressive geometry

With the same long-distance capabilities as its non-electric counterpart, El Camino doesn't compromise agility, speed or comfort. It's confidence-inspiring over the rough stuff and handles well whether loaded or unloaded.


Born for Britain's B-roads and bridleways, it's ideal for the mixed terrain of multi-day adventures - think the 350km long King Alfred or 230km West Kernow Way.

 


More miles, more climbs, more fun.

El Camino is to explore more. More miles, more climbs, more fun.

The stand-out feature is its smooth whole-bike riding experience thanks to the latest Kynamic BC250 system. El Camino has a torque sensor in the bottom bracket gauging pedal power and flowing in assistance to match your efforts for a natural ride feel.

 


Lightweight

Weighing just 3kg more than the non-electric Camino, it's lightweight enough to lift over a locked gate, load on a roof rack, or carry to your hotel room at your chosen overnight stop.

 

Powerful driving force

El Camino is powerful. Its integrated control panel comes with 3 power settings. Choose your heart rate as you ride: low power for all-day continual assistance, middle power for a sweat-free ride to work, or max power for a 20-mile blast around a local loop.

We balance weight, ride feel and performance with a 250Wh battery housed in the downtube and a 250W rear hub motor to give 45Nm of driving force and a real-life range of up to 70km of assisted riding. Enough for long day rides without significant weight penalty.

The battery complies with all US and EU regulations and does not contain minerals from conflict zones.

A range of over 120km is realistic with the 175Wh range extender that fits to a standard bottle cage mount.

On a mixed terrain ride we've achieved 70km from the built in battery using the lowest power assist setting, based on this, with the addition of the range extender 120km is entirely possible.  
Using the higher power settings will drastically affect range, under constant use in the highest power setting we expect to get a range of around 20km, ideal for that quick commute or blast after work.
 
Various factors can affect range, including temperature, terrain and rider/luggage weight, the figures stated above are guidelines.

 

Smooth ride feel

El Camino is easy to ride unpowered. Its lightweight and low-drag drive allows you to ride at your road ride speed without assistance. El Camino is designed to invoke a joy-filled ride with power on and off, unlike other e-bikes. UK and EU law states that electric power can only assist up to 15.5mph, so we've obsessed over the details to create a bike that doesn't hold you back on speed.

 

Destined for adventure

El Camino has ample tyre clearance of up to 50mm and comes with Alpha EX wheelsets. We build the wheels ourselves to our exacting standards, with strong Sapim e-bike rated spokes - 32 hole rear and 28 hole front eyeleted rims. The rear hub drive features a Shimano HG freehub as standard and is compatible with 11-speed cassettes.

El Camino boasts multiple bottle cage and rack mounts for unlimited bikepacking configurations, and internal cable routing completes the signature aesthetic of our Camino family.

These balls SUCK! External squeakers, minimal bounce and blue that is too dark.
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: X-Small, Style: 8-Pack
We have 2 little dogs in our home - a 1.5 year old Pomsky, and a 9 year old Pekingese. My Peke has shown no interest in tennis balls for years, until today! Imagine my excitement! Until she promptly destroyed the first squeaker on one of the blue balls. When I removed it, she began peeling the logos off the ball, and then started tearing the fuzz off! My dog has never destroyed any toy in her life, so this was shocking! Then the Pomsky decided that she wanted to play fetch with the new balls - she has Golden Retriever energy - and decided to destroy a squeaker in the midst of playing! She also wasn't nearly as interested in these tennis balls as her other tennis balls that she inherited from my Peke. 1. STUPID design, with the squeakers sticking out of the balls (the don't sit flush), so they are asking to get chewed or pulled out by any dog, even elderly 10 lb dogs! And a 9 lb young adult. 2. They are difficult to squeak compared to their Kong tennis balls, hence why the Pomsky wasn't interested for long. 3. They don't bounce as much as the Kong tennis balls, either, which made them less than exciting for the athletic and agile Pomsky. Meh. We wanted to get the smallest tennis balls we could get (1.5 inch) because neither dog will play with the 2 inch or bigger ones, but we also wanted to get colors they could easily see! The Pomsky clearly prefers the yellow balls to any other color (red, orange, green, darker blue, watermelon design), so we wanted to get like a bright blue or turquoise couple of balls to appeal to them! Well, my senior Peke liked the blue ones the most, but also liked the red and orange. Pomsky didn't like the blue ones. I think they're too dark of a blue to be easily seen in our home afternoons and evenings in the winter. We love Outward Hound toys in our house, but these were an expensive FLOP. They are the right size, but WHY did they put the squeakers so visible and appealing to dogs? I've never seen the squeaker in the Kong tennis balls. My advice is that Kong seems to make the best tennis balls for toy breeds, in the 1.5" size. Outward Hound dropped the ball here... no pun intended. The blue is darker than the photos depict (may be better in natural sunlight outdoors), the squeakers are external, and they barely bounce at all. Our next step will be to get the pressurized bright blue tennis balls from another brand, in hopes that the bounce and visibility will outweigh the lack of squeakiness. If those don't work, I guess we'll stick to the classic neon yellow Kong tennis balls! At my local Target, they only have multicolor packs of them, and the dark blue, red and green get completely ignored. *Dogs can only see shades of blues, yellows and black, grey and white. While some dogs may not seem to care about color, our Pomsky clearly does. :(

My Dog Loves Them
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Small, Style: 8-Pack
These cute little squeaky balls are the perfect size for my Shih Tzu. She loves to chew on them and make them squeak all the time, so they are durable. I would purchase them again.

Not super durable but good squeak while they work
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Large, Style: 4-Pack
My dog loves these but they break very quickly. I've got an older set that was incredibly durable, but these all stopped squeaking/got holes after the first or second play session

Heavy chewer approved.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pomsky will destroy a toy in minutes. Ropes, and the "indestructible" nylon type stuffs are no match for my furry shark. This ball has stood up to him like David. He loves the crunch and it is so much more tolerable than a squeaker. These will be a staple in his toy box - Chuckit toys are really the most durable dog toys I have found in three years.
