Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Himo has launched
the Himo C16 Electric Bicycle under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. Himo has
got a couple of electric bikes in the markets which have turned out to be very popular.
Around this time last year, the company launched the Himo V1 and just a couple
of months back the Himo T1 was released.
The Himo C16 comes with a different design and what
should be a more powerful battery train. It uses a detachable lithium battery
that isn’t only lightweight, but also safe and convenient to carry around. The
battery has a range of 75km but that is reduced to 55Km if a second passenger
is onboard. The battery comes with power-saving features and assisted movement
using the pedal enhances power saving.
The electric bike has an extra seat for a passenger
and a carrier at the front of the handle that could hold a sizeable amount of
goods. The comfort of the driver is put into consideration while building the
bike as it comes with a footrest that can be used when there is no need to
pedal.
There is a display panel which looks like an e-ink display at the right
handle of the bike. It displays parameters such as speed, battery power etc. It
also has an LED front headlight as well as a brake light, making it suitable
for use at night.
The bike is expected to start shipping on September
19. It is available in White, Black and Gray frames.
