Electric Mountain Bike Prototypes

FLX Unveiled the 'FLX Weapon X' in a Demonstration Video

— August 30, 2022 — Autos
FLX unveiled the 'FLX Weapon X' electric mountain bike in a short demonstration video. The bike is seen riding at high-speeds in off-road trails in the video, easily jumping down hills and maintaining a stable riding position. As such, the e-bike is suited for both on and off-road riding, even at higher speeds.

In terms of its components, the bike appears to include a 600W motor and an 840 Wh battery, resulting in a maximum speed of roughly 28 miles per hour and a range upwards of 60 miles per charge, though the range will vary based on the riding mode. According to FLX, the Weapon X is a high-performance e-mountain bike that focuses on demanding conditions, rather than focusing on the range or weight.
