This is the new OHM XS750 Plus off road electric bike for 2015. The 27.5″ x 3.25″ tires place this bike between a traditional mountain bike and a fat bike (4″ wide tires). With the torquey 500 watt BionX D Series motor, it will make for a “sporty” fat e-bike! The XS750 Plus retails for $3,999.
The BionX 48V 11.6ah lithium battery is placed low and center on the frame for good weight distribution. Also note the curved hydroformed aluminum frame tubing. Internal cable routing is another common feature on OHM e-bikes to keep things clean.
