Title: Raker | a new electric bike
Post by: motorguy on May 19, 2017, 12:45:54 PM
Perfect for the urban rider, the simplicity of RAKER’s design delivers unparalleled reliability. Electrically powered, using a standard plug socket at the home or office a single five hour charge powers the bike to a range of at least 70 miles, making the journey cleaner, quieter and cheaper, while providing a true sense of escape to an otherwise claustrophobic urban environment.

Those wheel are hilariously small, but also very suited for the urban dweller. Battery pack is only about 2kWh, but at less then £3000 it might be a good choice for city folks who just want to get from A to B fast and cheap.

rear wheel braking is very easy. Just press your shoe against the tyre...

Nothing a little flat black paint couldn't fix.

Motochimp is actually pretty awesome! Way outside of the box! But it looks like it would actually work.
