news hardware That’s it, there’s an electric bike with more range than a Tesla!
Ride almost 500 kilometers on a single charge, climb Everest or connect Paris to London by electric bike. Do you think a mission is impossible? No, that’s what the American brand Optibike offers with its R22 Everest model. However, under certain conditions.
“The only e-bike that can climb Everest on a single charge…
… If there were a road”. When you see big announcements, you always have to go to the end of the sentence or to the little asterisks
.
That’s it, there’s an electric bike with more range than a Tesla! Anyway, the bomb is dropped, let’s take a closer look at this UAE of excess. Do you prefer the sea or the country? So what you might be interested in is his300 miles of autonomy (482 km approximately)
. Enough to connect Paris to London… Again, if there were a bridge or tunnel equipped with a cycle path… To get back to a more realistic performance, it’s quite a bit
the distance between Paris and Lyon on roads open to bicycles, but also La Rochelle, Strasbourg, Cologne or Rotterdam if you feel like spending weekends abroad.
That’s it, there’s an electric bike with more range than a Tesla!
- As you can imagine, to really take advantage of those famous 300 miles of autonomy, some conditions must be met:
- Weigh less than 72.5 kg
- Drive at a maximum of 25 km/h (perfect for the clamping force that applies to us)
Use low support482 km, for an idea, it’s essentially the range of the last Tesla Model 3 (491 km) and much more than the 2019 model, which was limited to 409 km
That’s it, there’s an electric bike with more range than a Tesla!
Optibike states that at a constant speed of 32 km/h the autonomy will drop to 354 km, at 45 km/h to 161 km and finally at 58 km/h to 89 km. Stunning numbers! This feat is made possible by the presence of a 1700W Optibike PowerStorm MBB motor with a torque of… 190Nm! Stunning, we tell you.
No less amazing is its ability to climb gradients of more than 40%, its weight of 42 kg (including 16 kg just for the batteries) and of course its price, which is listed as $17,900 (approx. $16,659). Again, that’s more than some entry-level cars.
