On the market, electric bicycles are growing like mushrooms after the rain, so their price is steadily falling, and their popularity is increasing. But in order to be able to talk about the "e-epidemic" of e-bikes, the price - in addition to weight, the main minus of such bikes - will have to drop a bit. Even before that, customers have a great alternative - ONwheel. A device that turns a regular bike into an e-bike in seconds. The battery and 800-watt brushless electric motor weigh just over 800 grams, which makes ONwheel kill two birds with one stone - weight and price.
Go-e ONwheel is a device that in a few seconds turns a regular bike into an electric bike. Capable of maximum speed 45 km/h and give you a charge that lasts up to the maximum five hours, it helps up to 60 kilometers away, i.e. just enough to get from Ljubljana to Bled without breaking a serious sweat. Brushless motor attach to the lower part of the frame right next to the crank, where it drives the rear wheel (if you have a kickstand mounted, move it back a bit). When the engine and 25.2-volt lithium-ion battery– this one is in the shape of a cylinder, but fasten it there, where the water bottle usually rests in the basket– in place, the sensor automatically detects when the cyclist has started to drive and thus places the oscillating arm on the bike.
Determine how much the motorcycle helps the rider propel himself on the handlebars or via a mobile app. The latter also shows the battery status, current speed, how many kilometers of assistance you have left, s PIN code and you can also lock the battery when you park the bike. But we still recommend that you do 850 gram battery you'll be amazed, because you can take it out as easily as a water bottle from a basket.
