Apparently it's 500Wh - 13Ah. Some other interesting features:
Remove entire system in 2 minutes
Smart phone real time diagnostics via cloud
Remf-
Where did you see the 13Ahr number?
I heard this is a prototype? Can anybody confirm or know of a production schedule?
This is a huge advancement from Optibike, and I'm not surprised.
A 600W mid drive with controller, batteries is a first. It may have been a thermal challenge, but I can't believe they would show it if heat was an issue.
They have the WHOLE package now:
1. Decent mid drive power (600W==900W dd)
2. COG is the lowest possible and balanced.
3. Integrated power train, NO power wiring, just a throttle/consol only.
Cons?
- likely still the high speed motor noise.
- torque sensed pedelec still awaiting.
- custom frame - neccessary.
- loss of rear suspension.
They listen to the customers and keep offering upgrades:
> first lithium OEM at 20 Ahrs, now 26 Ahrs for 36V
> First with a Rohloff hub, 500% range.
> Power now up to 1100W, 48V
> Functional external pack, aluminun cased.
> Reduced price intro opti, M4, $6k. (Ok , still stinking expensive)
> kickstand mount, finally.
> Kickstand mount lost with new design, but bottle holder in, finally.
> New monitoring, i cloud soon.
Standard Quality componentry and workmanship, customer support, 3yr warranty...not bad.
