The 'Tezeus C8' is a sleek urban ebike that manages to combine a whole slew of highly desirable features in the electronically powered two-wheeler space, including but not limited to a low weight, a stylish aesthetic and reliable performance out on the road.
This urban ebike weighs in at only 15 kg, making it very easy to lift up the stairs or hail into the train. This low weight is made possible by the use of carbon fiber in several areas including the frame. As far as performance is concerned, the 'Tezeus' C8' is capable of attaining an electronically assisted top speed of 32 km/h on its way to a range of 100 km a full charge. The motor happens to be powered by a lithium battery that works in conjunction with a belt-drive mechanism instead of a chain for added efficiency.
The 'Tezeus C8' is the subject of a crowdfunding campaign, with a pledge in the region of $2,177 required to procure a model if and when it reaches production.
