New for 2024
Our new 2024 Optibike RIOT Class 1 eMTB features our new Pedelec Torque Sensor PowerStorm™ MBB!
The RIOT is a Class 1 Legal E-Bike with a 20 MPH speed limit, 750W power, and pedelec control.
New for 2024
The PowerStorm MBB™ now features a dual-sided Pedelec Torque Sensor.
Used in all of our Elite Series models, this allows smooth pedelec control and works alongside the throttle on the R17, R22, and R22 Everest (The RIOT is Pedelec Only).

“This capable mountain climber will leave 99% of other mountain bikes in the dust and a heavy dent in your pocketbook. If you place an order, they don’t have these on a shelf ready to ship out. The $19,000 purchase buys you a made-to-order bike tuned to your body dimensions.”
Optibike Beats Bosch at Hill Climb
We took an Optibike R22 Everest, Optibike Type 1, and Bosch CX equipped E-Bike to a steep dirt hill climb.
The hill is a 46% grade and has a soft loose dirt surface, certainly not an easy climb to do!
Check out the video to see how each bike did!

Review: Remarkable Machine
Truly a remarkable riding machine. I am a seasoned pilot, supersport racer, boater and ultimate thrill seeker and at times it can be a real challenge to recreate the adrenaline rush we’ve all experienced on our first barrel roll or hair pin. The R15C is the only bike on the market that can consistently satisfy the desire for thrill and adventure. Every aspect of the R15C is developed with the highest standard of craftsmanship only obtainable by trial and error over decades of focus and determination. Bravo Jim Turner and the Optibike team, thank you.
