If STAR WARS was to be re-written and Darth Vader was to ride around the Death Star on an electric bike then this would be the one he would choose! It’s got a 1000W rear hub motor and 48V Black Diamond lithium ion battery using Samsung cells. The bike is the Urban 20 from ORBEA. It’s a seriously fun off road electric bike (200W is the legal on road limit). Range will be between 30-45km with light to moderate pedal input; top speed about 40-45km/h. Temporarily available from 926 Hay st for $1990. The Cycle Analyst from Grin Technologies in Canada is a great little gadget that can be set to limit power output for road riding.
