It ’s usually pretty gentle to spot an electric bike coming down the route . Besides the lack of pedaling , they also feature over - sized frames pack with electric battery , or bulbous hubs on the side of the wheels for the electric motor . But notElectrolyte ’s e - bikes . All of the require components — include the battery , electronics , and galvanising motor — are hidden out inside what looks like nothing more than a hardy daze absorber .
In fact , inside the crooked front fork Electrolyte has managed to wad a 250 - watt electrical motor and a stamp battery that ’s capable of powering the wheel for up to 62 miles in ideal condition , at a top velocity of 15 mph . And the party claims its plan of attack even manages to shave up to 22 lb off its models , compared to other bulkier galvanising bikes .
Electrolyte plans to offer three bike with compact drivetrain , include a couple of introductory two - speed manikin called the Querschläger II and the Strassenfeger II that start at just over$5,000 , and the more elaborate eleven - speed Brandstifter II that will come in at just over$6,000 . That ’s approaching used automobile pricing , but if you know in a crowded city , try parking a Honda Civic on your balcony . [ ElectrolyteviaGizmag ]
