So, let’s do the maths...lolThese are interesting.
An electric assist model. 75 mi on 1 charge.
Would this make you feel like flying?
This one is better than a dog. It does not bite and does not leave land mines behind.
They said that the 75 mile range bike has a 420 watt/hour battery. So to get 75 miles out of it, pedal assist would literally only assist 55-60watts of energy, which is really a lot less than you think.
For comparison, I have a 860 watt/hour battery, and in lowest pedal assist mode I could probably eek out 40-45 miles. Maybe 50 miles with a tailwind...
And that’s a battery DOUBLE the size of theirs, pulling at about 160-220 watts, which is just enough to actually feel like an assist
