It’s designed as an all-rounder, but Audi says its greatest strength is downhill riding: it has wide wheels, off-road tyres and 180mm of suspension travel. There’s a 36V 720Wh battery inside the frame, and the 250-watt Brose motor delivers up to 90nm of torque.
Audi’s e-bike is going to go fast, quite literally
This is a limited-run bike, and if you want one, you’re invited to express your interest via the Audi websitehere. You’ll also find the full specifications there, which include an aluminium/carbon hybrid frame in three sizes, Öhlins forks and shocks and SRAM gears.
This is clearly going to be a quick e-bike. That motor is more powerful than the one in bikes such as the Harley-Davidson Serial 1, which provides assistance up to 25km/h where legal, and should be good for close to 100 miles if you’re not constantly going uphill. There are four levels of assistance: Eco, Tour, Sport and Boost.
This is way out of my price range – I just bought a second-hand car that costs much the same as this e-bike – but if you’re lucky enough to be able to afford one of Audi’s electric vehicles, then this looks like a great thing to sling in the boot of your Avant – and because it’s a limited run, it delivers pretty impressive bragging rights too.
