ebiketips
The Prolog’s light weight and slick integrated looks are one thing, but I must admit the biggest surprise with the bike is just how dynamically competent it feels to ride.

This is one of the more fun e-bikes to ride if you consider yourself more of a traditional cyclist.

Lemond All-Road Prolog Slots in as a 28lb Electric Gravel Bike

Oct 2023 · Zach Overholt

Lemond already had a super light ebike capable of running bigger tires. Now with the All-Road kit, the Prolog is ready to get dirty.

Electric Bike Report
Lemond Prolog Electric Bike Review, 2023

May 2023 · John S. Bozick

Lightweight and life-changing; this carbon fiber city e-bike leans toward loyal cyclists looking for a traditional bicycle feel. Subtle, minimal, sophisticated; these are the first words that came to mind when attempting to describe the LeMond Prolog. This elegant and alluring e-bike is one of two models released at the re-launch of LeMond Bicycles in

Highs
  • The Prolog feels remarkably like a traditional bike (as you might expect for an e-bike made by three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond)! Its motor output allows you to travel farther and faster, yet it is reserved enough to put a focus on a conventional riding experience.

  • This is one of the more fun e-bikes to ride if you consider yourself more of a traditional cyclist! This might seem like a reiteration of our first point, but we can’t say enough about how much our resident roadies loved the “superhuman” feeling provided by the Prolog

  • The bike is highly maneuverable and can easily be carried, thanks to its unbelievably low weight. At just 26 lbs, it’s lighter than many non-electric bikes, and is one of the lightest e-bikes we’ve had the opportunity to test.

  • It’s packed with cool tech. From its weld-free carbon fiber frame with integrated headlight and taillights, to its integrated Mahle x35 electronics system, The Prolog sports some impressive and high-end materials and components.

  • The bike is supremely stealthy. With no obvious display, motor, control pad, etc, the Prolog looks just like a non-electric bike.

  • The Prolog is gorgeous! Its clean and minimal aesthetic is unique, and its artful contours are sure to turn heads.

  • Each bike is tuned before shipping, and arrives almost fully assembled. In truth, it’s one of the best pre-assembled bikes and packaging setups that we have ever seen.This means that there are only a few steps owners need to complete before they can get on the road!

Lows
  • The design of the monocoque stem and handlebar is superb for aesthetics, but does not allow for adjustment. We’d prefer future iterations to offer more flexibility, though the bike’s three frame sizes help to a degree.

  • The Prolog is minimalism at its best, but the single-button interface with no display takes a while to get used to – and requires one hand off the bar to adjust. We’d love it if LeMond were to offer the compatible Mahle PulsarONE wireless display at checkout.
