“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!

Designed by Optibike
At Optibike we design and build many of our own parts.
The PowerStorm™ Mid-drive Motor used on our Elite Series models is designed and manufactured by Optibike. Producing more torque and more power than any other mid-drive motor, it’s also lightweight and compact.

Our lightweight and long range battery packs in the Elite Series are also designed by us, and are hand assembled and tested before going into a bike.
The Elite Series and Pro Series models also feature a custom designed LED headlight and taillight option, with a high lumen output it is designed for the terrain that our bikes are capable of.

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.
