Thanks to a comprehensively revised drive concept
offering the rider a significant power boost, the new BMW Active Hybrid e-bike
can offer both useful tech as well as a sophisticated design.
The electric motor puts down an output of 250 W and
90 Nm of torque with the help of a removable 502 Wh battery that
provides a range of up to 100 km. Both the motor and the battery are
integrated into the aluminum frame. The rider can also adjust the pedal assistance via
the bike's new display, utilizing any of the four available power modes, from
ECO (+50%) to TURBO (+275%). The maximum speed is set to 25 km/h.
Since this is a lifestyle product, BMW made sure
that riders can use the micro USB socket and Bluetooth function in order to
pair their smartphones with the bike. Speaking of lifestyle, the Active Hybrid
e-bike is available in either Frozen Black or Arctic Silver, while the LED
light integrated into the aluminum mudguard at the rear not only improves
safety but also enhances the design.
The bike features a short nose, a rising seat
surface at the rear and moving side wings, thus creating a stable seating
position and improving balance under acceleration and braking. Priced at € 3,400
(US$ 4,025) the new Active Hybrid e-bike is now available at select BMW dealers.
