#ONYX ELECTRIC BIKE FULL#

And then there is the crowd that sneers at ebike riders using only the throttle. This doesn't seem to be an unusual incident with people starting out and on clunky entry level ebikes.

Her husband has to feed and toilet her for the next few months because she hit a curb too hard and the bike did not bounce up to meet the moment and she went over the handlebars. Have you seen the photos of seniors crashing their beloved Rads? Last photo I saw on a Rad group was of a woman in a cast on each of her wrists, with her brand new Rad ebike beside her.

Stop judging people because of how the bike makes you feel.

There’s no denying that electric-powered two-wheelers are growing in popularity and demand it’s just a matter of when you’ll adopt one and what style you want.Now the ONYX RCR is getting some long-requested updates to further improve the popular electric moped.įrom this month on, all new ONYX RCR e-mopeds will now include the following new features: If you do fancy getting your name down for the RCR or CTY early, know that you’ll get a 25 percent discount, which drops the RCR’s price tag to $2,600 and the CTY’s to $1,875. As of now, Onyx hit 203 percent of its original funding goal on Indigogo where you can reserve one for yourself, along with a few other perks. That might be ideal for neighborhood errands, but I wouldn’t chance it on busier streets.īoth Onyx RCR and CTY are on track to hit the streets later this year and early next year, respectively. The CTY, though it’s even more affordable, only has a maximum range of 40 miles and a top speed of about 30 mph. The Onyx RCR will only set you back $3,500, and the more moped-looking CTY model costs just $2,500. You could opt for a Citi Bike, but you won’t get 72 volts feeding torque to the rear wheel and have a 60 mph top speed and a 45-75 mile range - read: you’ll leave some $5,000 electric assist bikes in the dust. The Onyx RCR, however, comes with serious ’60s styling to pair with genuine performance from the rear hub-mounted electric motor. The new city-orientated RCR electric bike from Onyx and other bikes like it are the only viable, sane option when you break it down. The cost of taking an Uber, cab or the train can add up over the course of a year, but it’s miles better than owning a car in a city like Manhattan. In any modern city, getting from one end to another can be a hassle (even if public transportation is an option).
