Mention electric bicycle or ebike, the image of a regular-looking bicycle with electric motor surfaced. The XION CyberX Custom Electric Bicycle, however, makes you rethink that image.
The XION CyberX is more like a Moped – a modern day Moped, that is. It looks nothing like a bicycle – thanks to its radical design that take your attention away from the pedals and belt drive.
XION described CyberX as “the most badass-looking eBike“and looking at it, I won’t argue with that. The fat tires, tricked out LED lighting and customizable laser printed side panels, and the dirt bike-crossed-cafe racer look gave it a very cyberpunk vibe.
It has a long saddle that sits two while a full suspension provides a comfy ride. And oh, it has actual motorcycle tires.
CyberX is powered by a 750-5000W mid-drive motor, paired to a 72V/32 Ah LIFEPO4 battery good for up to 50 miles an hour (80 km/h) top speed and a range of up to 100 miles (161 km).
However, in reality, if you are going full-on electric, you will get about 50 miles (80 km). 100 miles is only if you go the pedal-assist route.
It offers two modes of riding. ‘Street’ mode provides 750 watt of power, affording a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) and 75 miles (121 km) range, while ‘race’ mode has 5000 watt that tops out at 50 mph with a range of 50 miles (80 km).
Other details include a hydraulic disc brake system, steel frame, LCD display, USB charger, and Bluetooth speaker.
The XION CyberX is available in three sizes to suit users of different heights.
