UBCO FRX1 Trail Bike

After capturing our attention with their all-terrain bike, UBCO are back again with the FRX1 Trail Bike. This small and light electric bike is equipped with an electric brushless engine, able to deliver 15W of pure power. Weighing only 132 pounds, the 20HP e-bike reaches 50 mph of top speed and has arange of over 60 miles, ideal for the hasty commuter or the light trail rider. The frame is made from aluminum, and the liquid-cooled engine is mounted on the swing arm pivot that is there to maintain the chain in max tension all the time, essential to keep the massive 206 ft-lbs of torque on the road. It fully charges in six hours, and comes with a Bluetooth-enabled app that lets you configure various options like adjustable regenerative braking. Suspension and brakes are top notch too, so if you are on the prowl for something that really mixes work and play, and is eco conscious too, this is it.
