The UrbanX Team based in Los Angeles has created a
new piece of hardware that can be installed on any existing bicycle and
transform it into an electric bike in just 60 seconds.
Simply replace your front wheel with the UrbanX
Electric E-Bike Wheel and enjoy the power of an electric bike, with a 30 mile
range and a possible top speed of 20 mph.
UrbanX is available from US$ 299 with shipping expected
to take place in a few months time during July 2017. Features include a 240W
motor with a top speed of 15 mph, swappable battery packs, thumb throttle,
phone mount, universal tyre and charger. The development team behind the
innovative electric bike wheel explain more about its inspiration and design.
Install UrbanX in under a minute, swap out batteries
in one simple click and squeeze the throttle to go electric or stay traditional
and pedal as normal. he UrbanX Electric Wheel requires only a wrench, a
screwdriver & one minute until you’re pressing the throttle on your new
electric bicycle.
UrbanX’s one-click removable battery is compact,
allowing you to charge your new ebike when and where it’s convenient for you.
Easily double your range in seconds by tossing an extra fresh battery in your
backpack or bike saddle bag then swap the new for the old in a single click.
The choice of riding traditionally, all electric or somewhere in between is up
to you.
