The Dolas Defender 250 three-wheeled e-bike has been unveiled. The uniquely designed e-bike has three wheels in a row and each comes with a 250W hub electric motor. The new e-bike comes close to being referred to as an electric trike but is uniquely different from a trike. It has some impressive features and the company says it is well-suited for both city commutes and cargo haulage.
The Dolas Defender 250 is signposted by
its three-wheel design arranged in a seemingly unconventional manner. The three
wheels are arranged in line but each wheel packs a 250W hub motor. The e-bike
thus has a combined power output of 750W, which is massive for an e-bike and
even beyond the permitted output in Europe. The Dolas Defender 250 also
features a 48V, 53Ah battery pack with 2,544Wh capacity. The range of the Dolas
Defender 250 is put at 180 km on a full charge. There are a few tech details
like its dashboard and integration with an app that have not been stated yet
for the Defender 250.
The Defender 250 can haul loads up to
250 kg. It can accommodate two riders with the passenger also having his own
handlebars and saddle. There is also a cargo rack behind the rear seat of the
Defender 250 e-bike. The rear cargo rack is perfect for carrying different
items ranging from groceries to small luggage. Riding the bike can be a
challenging task to get used to especially navigating corners. The bike is
however a delight when going uphill with its massive power delivery even with
full cargo.
The Dolas Defender 250 is priced at € 4,650
(US$ 5,100) and will soon enter the European market. There are no indications yet
whether the Defender 250 will also arrive in the US and other international
markets.
