Some e-bikes are built to get you from Point A to Point B.

The Murf Higgs Plus, on the other hand, is built to make you want to keep cruising long after you've reached your destination.

Whether you're heading down Coast Highway, grabbing coffee in Encinitas, CA at one of our beloved local spots, heading to the beach with a friend, or just looking for an e-bike that can do a little bit of everything, the Higgs Plus checks a lot of boxes. It's comfortable, incredibly capable, and—like every Murf we've ridden—it has that relaxed Southern California personality that makes riding feel effortless.

Murf Higgs Plus Highlights: And Why We Recommend These


Holds Two Riders

One of the coolest features of the Higgs Plus is right there in the name: it's designed to carry two people.

The integrated passenger seat and fold-up foot pegs make it easy to bring along a friend, your partner, or even your teenager for a cruise around town. And if you're riding solo? The passenger seat quickly removes, giving you extra room for bags, groceries, or beach gear.

It's one of those bikes that naturally turns ordinary errands or your daily commute into something you'll actually look forward to.

Has Plenty of Power Without Feeling Overwhelming

The Higgs Plus is powered by a 750W rear hub motor paired with Murf's 52V battery system, giving it plenty of torque for hills, stoplights, and carrying extra weight without feeling sluggish.

You'll get:

  • Class 2 performance with pedal assist and throttle

  • Top speeds up to 20 mph

  • Approximately 30 to 60 miles of range depending on terrain, rider weight, and assist level

  • Five levels of pedal assist

  • A 7-speed Shimano drivetrain that gives you the right gear whether you're climbing the hills around Encinitas or cruising the Strand in Oceanside

In other words, it's fast enough to be fun, but approachable enough that almost anyone can hop on and feel comfortable after a few minutes.

Is A Great Fit for Coastal Living

Living near the beach means your bike ends up doing a little bit of everything.

One day it's carrying towels and a cooler.

Next it's your commuter.

Then it's grabbing tacos at Haggo’s after surfing.

That's exactly where the Higgs Plus shines.

Its sturdy frame, generous weight capacity, and versatile passenger platform make it one of the most adaptable bikes in the Murf lineup. Instead of owning different bikes for different occasions, the Higgs Plus handles nearly all of them. And you bet you can put a surfboard rack on this e-bike!

So, yes you can take this e-bike to the farmer’s market, out with friends (you can even pick up a friend along the way and they can ride with you), on your daily commute, and also to surf. 

Who We Think This Bike Is Perfect For

At Leucadia Cyclery, we'd recommend the Higgs Plus if you:

  • Want an e-bike that's comfortable and confidence-inspiring

  • Need something for commuting and weekend adventures

  • Spend time around the beach or coastal communities

  • Want enough power for hills without sacrificing ride quality

  • Prefer a bike that's practical but still looks incredibly clean

Why We Personally Love the Higgs Plus

There are plenty of electric bikes with impressive features.

What makes the Higgs Plus different is that it simply feels good to ride.

It's stable, powerful without being intimidating, and versatile enough that it quickly becomes the bike you reach for every chance you get. Whether you're heading down to Beacon's, grabbing dinner in Leucadia, or exploring neighborhoods you've never ridden before, the Higgs Plus makes every trip a little more enjoyable.
