Electric bicycle company FLX is providing some details about the upcoming launch of its latest e-bike the Babymaker II electric bicycle. FLX had grossed several millions of dollars in sales of the original FLX Babymaker and hopes that the new and improved Babymaker II will have a great reception in the rapidly expanding e-bike market.

Although there are still several details about the Babymaker II that are still lacking at this time, the few details released by the company point to an exciting e-bike. In terms of pricing, the original Babymaker e-bike had a US$ 2,000 price tag, although promotional offers were made that presented discounts of varying degrees. The Babymaker e-bike was launched via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2020. The crowdfunding process was quite successful raising over US$ 13 million from interested Babymaker owners in the process.

Although there is no word yet from FLX on the next steps in the evolution of the Babymaker II, there is a possibility that it could thrive on another crowdfunding campaign. This will come on the heels of the very successful drive for the Babymaker in 2020. The new model will bear some semblance with its predecessor. The Babymaker was an ultra-stealthy-looking pedal bike with an electric assist mechanism ensconced in a tiny rear wheel hub motor. The battery was also integrated into the frame of the electric bicycle. The Babymaker II will come with a battery that is almost one-half bigger than the original model. This will imply that the Babymaker II will have a larger range than its predecessor.

The power of the e-bike will come from a 350W motor in the rear wheel which can take the Babymaker II to a top speed of 40km/h. Other features are flat handlebars, Magura hydraulic disc brakes, and a generally improved riding position for riders. It seems it will maintain the pedal-assist mechanism that was in the original Babymaker e-bike.

The coming weeks will provide the necessary background for the expected trajectory of the Babymaker II. We are yet to know much about its pricing and launch date, as well as several other intrinsic specs, but we expect more teasers going forward.
