Well, a few people knew we were up to this, but we haven't really broadcast it to the general public yet. So here you go, we have been working on this for the past 4 months. This video shows the JBE (JuiceBox Electric) being ridden by our very own Terry Linebarger at a secret location in China. Terry is an American who works for us full time & lives in South China.
We are not going to release any detailed specs about our 1st electric bike for at least another 4 months, however, this is just to let you know we are on this, it's engineered entirely by us & is even secret from the factories we deal with. We have our own workshop & prototyping facilities both in the UK & China.
The video shows one of the very 1st test runs. Currently the softstart function is set too slow & it's geared a little too high achieving 25 mph top speed. The JBE is aimed at 6 year old's up & therefore we will be gearing it down a little to 20 mph resulting in potentially faster acceleration than shown in the video (we want this to be adult proof also). There will be parental control to adjust the power of the motor & audible safety features. The JBE will go on sale for a fractionally higher price than it's engine based cousin.
Silent, easy to service, 1.5 hours run time flat out with quick change batter pack should you want more run time.
RRP Approx £550
On sale mid summer 2011
