The Beast: looks like a motorcycle, but it's a solar and off road electric bike
Meet this bike that is a "beast"
Electric bike is not exactly a novelty, although it is not so popular in the day-to-day life of big cities. But the electric bike we're going to talk about now... Well, just looking at it, you can see that it's nothing very common. We introduce to you The Beast.
"But is it a bike or a motorcycle"? despite the way off road a bit brucutu, it is a bicycle - it has pedals and you won't need a license or insurance to ride it on the streets. In addition to the wide tires (similar to those of a small tractor) that allow the user to reach uninviting and deserted places, such as dirt roads, what calls the most attention right away is the box of solar panels in the lower region of the vehicle.
It is through it that the bicycle captures its energy to store it in the battery. According to the creators, if you leave your the beast parked somewhere open, on a sunny or cloudy day, it will charge at a rate equivalent to one kilometer per hour. As a standard electric bike user hardly ever rides more than ten kilometers a day, you will most likely have your daily supply to get to and from the house simply by leaving it parked (but the package also includes a plug charger) . It reaches 32 km/h and has a range of about 40 km with a full battery.
the beast it has inverted suspension and a powerful headlamp (with LED lamps), but the main additional functionality is again related to the battery. In addition to giving you a hand on the climbs, it can be used as an energy source for any gadget. Not to mention that it is removable, which is handy for situations of battery shortage in more distant places.
