The start-up company team has been testing some prototype bikes that are well thought-out and extremely capable.
The first prototype is aimed at producing very capable, low-maintenance commuter. The picture shows a bike with Gates+Rohloff combo but wheels, brakes, tires are not what we want it to be.
Some highlights:
Clean Ti frame, with internal routing.
Bafang-ultra limited to 750W federal limit and 28mph in PAS.
[We had to sign an agreement with Bafang to tweak the firmware, get the light output to 12V instead of 6V.]
Rohloff hub - not the E-14, just the manual
Gates carbon drive
1250 Whr custom battery by EM3ev with 2 yr warranty and smart BMS, Bluetooth app for measuring the state of charge (Base model will come with 850Whr battery that is similar to the EM3ev Jumo shark pack)
Programmable Cycle satiator charger - 8A fast charging
Tubus racks
Front and rear E-bike specific lights - Lezyne 1000 lumens
Schwalbe Supermoto-X tires - 2.4" tires
30mm wide tubeless ready rims.
SR Suntour AIR fork with 100mm travel.
Tektro 4-piston brakes
Kinekt/ Body float seatpost
Price of the decked out bike = $5800
By replacing the Rohloff with Nuvinci, Ti frame to Al, price will go down significantly.
Before sending the final version to the production run, I thought I would share it here so I could get your feedback on the product design and features.
