Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Specialized Globe Haul ST. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
17 reasons to buy
-
The Haul is small... but capable.
At just over 5ft long it’s easy for city-dwellers to store.
- This mighty mote can haul a 419lb payload. Testers see it as a very real replacement for short car trips.
- The Globe Haul ST comes with a rear rack, full fenders and a staunch front rack mount. It's made to carry a slew of proprietary racks and rigid panniers.
- Owners can attach a proprietary passenger seat with a payload of one human, up to 88 lb.
- It’s versatile: working for short trips loaded up, commuting, work, family jaunts & adventure.
- This is a Class 3 e-bike that can reach a maximum of 28 mph.
- The motor activates quickly, but due to the use of a torque sensor, there’s none of that on/off lurch that’s common to many hub-motor bikes.
- Specialized claims this big 772Wh battery supplies up to 60 mi of range on one charge. A tester did 35 mi, using only ⅔ of the battery.
- Should you want to have a bath with the Globe battery, rest assured it’s IPX7 rated (meaning it can be submersed for 30mins in 3ft of water).
-
The Globe Haul ST is offered at an affordable price.
One tester deemed it, “an incredible value.”
- With triple eyelets on its steel fork, the Haul is ready to strap on cargo for… bikepacking?
- A highly adjustable stem and extra-long telescopic seatpost ensure the Haul will fit riders from 4’5” to 6’4”!
- The Haul’s aesthetic is supercute. Every reviewer emphasizes how fun this little rig is, calling it “smile-inducing”.
- Specialized’s hydraulic disc brakes feature 203 mm rotors and are “extremely powerful”, according to one tester.
- Rotund 3.5” Carless Whisper tires provide compliance and comfort over a variety of terrain.
- Reviewers say there’s plenty of range in microSHIFT’s 11-36t 9-speed drivetrain.
- Specialized offer a lifetime warranty on the Haul’s frame and 2-years on electrics.
6 reasons not to buy
- There’s no suspension. Tire pressure must be tuned-in to avoid a harsh ride.
- The Globe Haul is a husky boy. This is 77 lb of raw e-bike, ungarnished.
- A throttle is not included‽ It’s aftermarket.
- A tester says the proprietary panniers can rattle on rough roads.
- Due to the Haul being one-size-fits-all, some compromises are made on geometry for taller riders.
- A reviewer said they felt the Haul’s seating position sits a little far back than is optimal.
