by Motovolt Urbn e-Bike: Motovolt Mobility, a two-wheeler manufacturing company, has recently launched an electric bike called URBN e-bike. This e-bike has been specially designed keeping in mind the greater comfort of the riders. The URBN e-bike does not require any license or registration and also comes with a host of features.
Design And Build Quality:
Urbn is a full-suspension unisex ebike. It is mainly designed for all genders and age groups riders. The geometry of the bike is designed for urban terrains. The paint job and printed graphics make this bike looks premium. There are four color options to choose from- Yellow, Cyan, Red, and White with a black combination. The frame is made of steel and it is a bit heavy. It weighs around 40 kg with a loading capacity of up to 120kg. Unlike most of the ebikes in the market, the bike comes with a motorcycle-like proper cushioning type seat. So a long ride will be comfortable too.
Motor And Its Torque:
The bike runs on a 36v/250w BLDC motor and it generates up to 40nm of torque. The higher the torque more the pulling power and that is why the bike takes less than 10 seconds to reach 25kmph of speed.
Battery And Its Range:
Urbn is powered by a 36v/1000kw(20Ah) Lithium-ion battery. 16Ah option is also available. The battery is portable, and it can be charged anywhere at your convenience, and the same is installed beneath the seat post. The battery comes with 150000km of life cycles with 3 years of warranty. The battery takes around 4 hours to juice up, and on a single charge with pedal assist, it can give you a riding range of up to 120km(Claimed by the company).
Riding Modes:
There are 4 different modes the bike comes with, which include the 1. Pedal-assist mode with 3 levels of assistance, 2. Throttle mode with up to 25kmph of speed, 3. Cruise mode/autopilot mode, where you can ride the bike without engaging the throttle or pedal at 25kmph of speed, and 4. Manual pedal mode, by which you can ride the bike without battery power, just like a regular cycle. To access these modes, there is a controller and a multi-function LCD display are provided.
Wheels And Suspension:
The Urbn comes with 20″ of mag/spokes wheels combined with 3.0″ wide tires. The tires come with an anti-puncture property, which means the tires won’t get punctured easily. There’s a pair of metal mudguards that also can be seen on this ebike. The bike has been specially designed keeping in mind the greater comfort of the riders. The bike has a dual suspension system. There is a telescopic suspension at the front and a pair of proper shock absorbers at the rear which together provide an excellent and smooth riding experience.
Gears And Brakes:
Urbn is a single-speed e-bike that comes with dual mechanical disc brakes. But the good thing is, that these are electric brakes, which means it comes with an electric cut-off system. So when applying the brakes, it immediately cuts off the motor from accidentally surging ahead.
Additional Features:
Additionally, the bike comes with an ignition key, and the good thing is it also has a handle lock feature like a scooter or motorcycle. The bike also has a battery-connected turn indicator, a headlight, and a tail light. There is an electric horn also present in the bike. Urbn is a smart ebike which means it can be connected to your smartphone, and all the riding data and other information can be seen on the phone itself.
Price And Availabilty:
The base variant with less range is priced at ₹49999, whereas the pro model with long range and smart features is priced at ₹54999. But if you can refer the bike to your friends, then on the final price, you will get up to Rs. 5000/- OFF. EMI options are also available with this ebike.
