The Electric Bike Scene at Interbike 2012 – Part 4

September 28, 2012 by Pete 8 Comments

Here is the final installment of electric bike coverage from Interbike 2012!  Here are links to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

MPF Drive is a mid drive electric bike motor system that was on display at the e-bike test track.

It has a similar look to the Bosch e-bike motor system.  It will be interesting to see more mid drive e-bike kits on the market in the future.

Currie Technologies had a number of their IZIP and EZIP electric bikes on display.

Their newest model is the IZIP E3 Compact folding electric bike that is a bike they have recently developed with Dahon (well known for their folding bikes).

This bike keeps things simple with a front hub motor and a single speed drivetrain.

Larry Pizzi, President of Currie Technologies, walks through the features of the new IZIP E3 Compact in this video:

IZIP also added some new colors to their Zuma beach cruiser style electric bike.

Prodeco launched 2 new electric mountain bikes.  The Prodeco 29er Titanio lightweight (31.8 lbs) titanium electric mountain bike has a 200 watt front hub motor, 33V 9ah Lithium battery (in water bottle), Rock Shox SID suspension fork, SRAM drivetrain, AVID hydraulic brakes and will retail for $4,999. They also have a 26″ wheel version that weights 29.5 lbs for $4,499

The new Prodeco Outlaw electric mountain bike has some impressive specs as well: 750 watts of power, 48V 9ah LiFePo4 battery, 28 mph, dual crown suspension fork, Avid Hydraulic disc brakes, SRAM drivetrain.  It will retail for $2199!

Here are some pictures of the new Titanio, Outlaw and the other Prodeco lines: Mariner, Stride, Genesis, Storm and Phantom.

Polaris electric bikes launched their new electric bikes at Interbike.  Yes, Polaris that is known for their ATVs, etc.  It is interesting to see a “power sports” company get into the electric bike market.  The must see the future for e-mobility!  Here is more info on Polaris electric bikes.

Voltage Cycles electric bikes are stylish laid back e-bikes!  These are meant for looking cool and enjoying a nice ride!  Voltage recently partnered with Allcell Technologies, a battery company in the US.  The batteries for the Voltage e-bikes are housed in the “gas-tank”!

Marty Schlesinger, the President of Voltage Cycles, shows off their Electric Sport e-bike in this video:

Evox is an electric bike company that has been focused on the Canadian market and they are considering expansion into the US market.  They have a mid drive motor that sends power to the rear wheel via a belt drive on the left side of the bike.  Interesting……

Pete’s Electric Bikes (Not related to me!), had a number of e-bikes/trikes on display.  They had a cargo bike that uses the Xtracycle cargo system and a Panasonic mid drive kit, an electric mid drive cargo trike , and an electric bike share type of bike with a charging station that powers the bike through the front hub.  Here is more information on these bikes.

    I’ve asked this question before and I’ve also seen a few others with the same query. Why don’t you ever say anything about Prodeco ebikes? Seems very weird that you would ignore them?
