Scooters are no longer the best solution for urban mobility. It seems that this concept is being understood perfectly by the BMW company. And its latest launch is focused on a much more ecological and healthy vehicle. It's about the BMW ActiveHybrid, a bicycle with assisted pedaling. That is, an electric bike or e-bike.
The BMW Active Hybrid is a bicycle with a design focused on trekking; It is not noticeable that it is a vehicle that incorporates a battery. As is often the case with all launches of the German company, this ecological vehicle is designed with good quality materials. For example, its frame is hydroformed. With this we will be able to subtract weight in places where it is not necessary and thus achieve less weight in the set.
On the other hand, the battery added in the BMW Active Hybrid has a capacity of 504 Wh. Its electric motor, which is located in the bottom bracket, offers a maximum power of 250W with a torque of 90 Nm. All this allows the user to reach top speeds of 25 km / h "Be careful, because it could be more, but it is factory limited." Likewise, and as occurs in many e-bikes, the user can choose the degree of assistance in pedaling. It will have up to 4 levels: from ECO level (50% assistance) to TURBO mode (275% assistance). What's more, the range that can be achieved on a single charge reaches 100 kilometers.
Likewise, the BMW Active Hybrid has a microUSB port and Bluetooth connection to be able to connect your smartphone at any time. Finally, this BMW Active Hybrid has brake discs; its tires are signed by the Continental brand; the saddle is Selle Royal and the rear position light is LED. This electric bike can be yours at a price of $3.400 and will be available through the online store of the company.
