Electric bicycles are becoming increasingly popular not only as a convenient form of transport for those who have been tortured by traffic jams on the way to work, but also as a vehicle for families.
Xiaomi introduced the new HIMO C16 electric bike at a crowdfunding platform. It can be called a family bike since it has two seats, one of them being designed for a passenger. In front, there is a convenient basket for transporting things.
The only thing potential buyers should keep in mind is that the bicycle cannot take two adults: its total load capacity is 100 kg, and it weighs 32.5 kg.
The electric bike is equipped with a 12 Ah battery, which must be removed from it for recharging. A full supply of energy will be enough to cover a distance of 55-75 km. You can move around simply by placing your feet on a special stand. Of course, you can also work with your feet if you wish to.
The maximum speed is 25 km/h.
A mini-display on the steering wheel will help the rider control the speed and battery charge, there are also buttons for turning on the lights and an odometer.
According to the manufacturer, a well-designed brake system does not require any special maintenance, and there are brakes on the steering wheel and on the rear wheel. The size of bicycle wheels is 16 inches.
At the crowdfunding site, a pre-order for the HIMO C16 electric bike can be made for $283. The color scheme to choose from includes white, gray and khaki.
