BMW Cruise e-Bike Protonic Dark Silver
BMW continues to roll out special edition bikes and
the most recent one is known as the Cruise e-Bike Protonic Dark Silver.
Its name sounds familiar because
it was inspired by the BMW i8 Protonic Dark Silver, which was unveiled in a
premiere last week during the 2016 Paris Auto Show, and it comes with the same
exclusive color scheme, along with Electric Blue-finished rims.
According to the Germans, the shade is not the only
thing shared with the 'green' sports car, as the new special edition bike also
features a 'hybrid drive', with accent placed on the 400-Wh battery, which
allows the rider to pedal in four different modes, from Eco, up 50 percent, to
Turbo, up 275 percent.
The two-wheeler can reach a top speed of 25 km/h with electrical pedal assistance, and its 10-gear system "ensures
ideal transmission when riding steep slopes or doing dynamic sprints on the
flat terrain", according to the automaker's blurb.
Developed by BMW Lifestyle and limited to just 300
units, each accompanied by a certificate and special badge, the Cruise e-Bike
Protonic Dark Silver is available at selected partners and costs € 3,500 (US$ 3,925 at today's exchange rates).
