The Audi eMTB has been shown off as a limited-edition electric mountain bike that maintains a design inspiration from the Audi RS Q e-tron Dakar rally car. The bike boasts four levels of pedal-assist power that's achieved thanks to the 250W Brose S-MAG mid-mount motor that achieves 66.4lb-ft of torque. The mechanical SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain offers flexible ride options, while the chunky downtube design on the bike holds a 720Wh Fantic Integra battery pack.
The Audi eMTB boasts an aluminum enduro frame accented by carbon fiber components for a durable design. Priced starting at £8,499, the electric bike will come in three frame sizes to choose from with Vittoria E-Mazza off-road tires to boot.
