The 'ONYX RCR' is a high-performance, premium electric bicycle from 'ONYX.' The bicycle itself boasts motorcycle-level performance, meaning it exceeds local e-bike regulations for numerous cities and countries. However, the bike can be manually limited to certain speeds.
Without restrictions, the ONYX RCR achieves a top speed of 60 miles per hour and a maximum range of 75 miles. This is achieved through a 41AH battery and a motor that outputs a maximum of 3,000 watts. There are additional battery options available that range from 23AH to 41AH at a slower charging rate. The sheer performance of the 3,000-watt motor results in this bike being highway legal in certain regions.
Customers are able to pick up an ONYX RCR online at an MSRP of $4,349 USD.
