The majority of those who take part in transportation have already realized that the fossil fuel resources are finite and are rapidly being depleted. But this is not the only problem we are facing nowdays. Environmental pollution is the most severe impact of the wide-spread use of fossil fuels.
Recently more and more electric bicycles are appearing city streets. While the new trend of electric bike development is a welcome improvement, it is flawed by heavy compromises. Most E-bikes available today are rather primitive machines. The majority of the electric bike kits contain no more than a hub motor and a frame-mounted battery cell. The development of these power assist vehicle models were not based on design, maximum range or maneuverability, but rather the functions they can offer. Most of these models are neither suitable to be used as bicycles, nor as successful e-bike. They offer a little of everything, but do not satisfy any specific requirement. They do what they were designed to: they take their riders from A to B, which is fine for some but not others.
The modern electric drive systems predominantly require no maintenance, possess high rate of efficiency and are composed of well-constructed elements. In the case of electric vehicles, it is very important to have a battery cell which provides adequate range. By employing a high-efficiency electric motor, a battery cell of equal capacity and mass increases the range of electric bikes.
Green tech
M55 hybrid bikes bring their riders to the nature who, seeing all the beauty, learn to respect it much more than ever.
Our bikes are trailblazers, utilizing cutting edge e-bike technologies which might soon appear in the mass e-bikes so they can be more efficient and so can gain popularity quicker.
M55 Bikes are driven by brushless electric motors which were designed by using a FEM software to create a light motor with the best performance.
The efficiency of the M55 bike - depending on operating mode - is over 90%.
The energy to the motor is provided by 8 specially placed A123 battery cells. These occupy the greater part of the self-supporting frame’s internal volume. The capacity and performance of these special cells is much higher than anything available in presently produced e-bikes. The electric motor of the M55 bike only uses 60 A at maximum, so the expected life cycle of these cells will be very long. The manufacturer guarantees 1000 charge and discharge cycles with no more than 9% loss in performance. Another great advantage of this battery cell, that it can be charged to 80% of its capacity in just 60 minutes.
