Santa Cruz Bicycles

Skitch CC Apex E-Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“This is the Skitch I’d recommend to riders who want electric assist without the premium price tag of electronic shifting. The Fazua Ride 60 system is smooth and responsive, and the Apex Eagle drivetrain keeps things simple and reliable. It still rides like a real bike—quick, nimble, and easy to forget you’re on an e-bike once you’re rolling.”

We ride the Skitch Apex Bike when the city feels like a maze we’re determined to beat. Built by Santa Cruz to thrive in traffic, alleyways, and cracked pavement, the Skitch turns everyday rides into fast, fluid escapes. It feels light under power, quick through tight turns, and confident enough to leave the car keys at home without a second thought.

The Carbon CC frame keeps the ride responsive and efficient, while the Fazua Ride 60 drive unit delivers smooth, natural-feeling assist that fades into the background when speeds rise. Wide 700c tires smooth out rough roads and dirt shortcuts, and the SRAM Apex Eagle drivetrain offers durable, intuitive shifting for daily use. It’s a bike that makes commuting feel optional—and riding feel essential.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
