Chris running through the
bike with Clint
almost same amount of pulling
power impressed me, as a city runaround
this made a lot of sense as
long as you can plug it into renewable
electricity supply. But even at a
more sedate pace the charge level
dropped quite significantly, and I
thought that on the open road this
might be a limiting factor. We are
not Europe and our trips are not less
than 200km away, yes the future the
bikes will come in with much better
batteries, as in 60% better with 21.5
kWh apposed to 13.4 kWh as in these
bikes, but am I just too old school I
was asking myself?
In summary, yes electric bikes
will be the future, but for now the
cars are the big push as I think that
the biking world still has too big an
affection for petrol engine, for the
same reason I don’t think we would
like a diesel sounding bike, the sound
of internal combustion just resonates
with us all too much. But if you are
the rider who wants to arrive on the
future, look no further than this Ego.
It will for sure surprise you the first
time you twist the throttle, it’s fast,
damn fast.
