Do you know where the battery is?
Electric bicycles are very convenient, but because they have a large battery, the frame is sturdy and the appearance is solid, giving the impression that they are practical. As a result of focusing on aerodynamics in the early days of EVs, it had a unique form with a bulging front.
but,Detroit Bikes’ newest electric bike DB-EI have to look closerYou won’t even notice it’s electricslim and stylish。
Lightweight and easy to handle
Some people who love to use bicycles for exercise may wonder, “What’s the point of riding a bicycle that’s easy to ride?” However, there are some people who say, “It’s impossible to commute to work in a sweaty morning…”, so the advantage of an electric bicycle is that it lowers the hurdle of choosing a bicycle instead of a car.
Among electric bicycles, there are models that have strong assist power and can be ridden almost without pedaling, but many of these models have heavy bodies and batteries, and are expensive.
In that respect, the DB-E has the convenience and ease of use of an electric bicycle,Only 14.5kgBecause it is equipped with a lightweight frame that is comparable to that of a normal bicycle, it is easy to carry indoors.$2,600 (about 335,000 yen)It’s a bicycle that you can use, so you can’t leave it in front of the eaves.
Outstanding energy efficiency

How far can you travel on one charge?About 56km in power saving mode, about 32km in full powerIt is estimated that even those who live in areas with many slopes can run smoothly.
Actually, this hub is surprisingly eco-friendly.when the bike is stoppedregenerative brakingIt incorporates advanced mechanisms to support charging while driving, such as recovering energy in the electric motor and generating charging energy by applying torque when pedaling on flat ground.
It is also possible to charge by rotating the pedal in reverse while coasting on a downhill. DB-E is 200g lighter and more durable than chainsUses a belt driveAnd because it has a lightweight frame, you can run lightly without an electric assist. It is okay even in the most troublesome “battery dead” state with electric bicycles.
The DB-E can also use Bitride’s mobile app to activate anti-theft features such as motor lock and dead stop, as well as check speed and battery level in real time.
The DB-E is available in two colors, gloss black or emerald green.Now accepting reservations at Detroit Bikes. It is scheduled to be shipped in March, so I can’t wait to see it at Japanese bicycle shops.
