Low Frame Stand Over
Compare to other Optibike Models
Power
More power gives you a higher top speed, and lets you climb hills faster.
Battery Capacity
A bigger battery means you can ride farther, it's like the fuel tank on a car.
Torque
More torque lets you start from a dead stop easier, and lets you climb very steep hills.
Battery Capacity and Range
A battery with more capacity generally means you can go farther on a charge.
However at maximum speed, a more powerful bike will also use more battery per mile traveled. Knobbier tires can also reduce range due to more rolling resistance on the road, and the terrain you ride on can also heavily affect the range you get.
At Optibike our ranges are based on actual usage and testing, as well as feedback from our customers.
There is no standard for E-Bike range like there is from the EPA for a cars fuel economy, as a result an electric bicycle manufacturer can claim whatever they like for their range and top speed. At Optibike we try to present estimated ranges and speeds that are as close as possible to what you’ll actually get.
