The Prime E5 ebike from Hercules is a retro-style electric bicycle that resembles the gas-powered mopeds of the 1970s. It features a compact design with a battery pack that looks like a fuel tank on the front portion of the frame. The battery pack is a standard 545-watt-hour powertube that provides enough range for daily commuting. The ebike also has a luggage rack at the back that can carry up to 150 kilograms of load.
The Prime E5 ebike is equipped with the Bosch Performance Line e-bike system, one of the most reliable and robust motors in the e-bike space. It delivers smooth and powerful assistance up to 25 km/h. The ebike also has fat Schwalbe Moto-X tires that absorb bumps and potholes on the road, making it comfortable to ride without any suspension. The Prime E5 ebike will be available from specialist retailers in May, 2024, with a price tag of 4,399 Euros, or about $4,744 USD.
