Urtopia unveils a new electric bike in the form of the 'Chord,' which is a stylish structure that is inspired by the look of pianos. This is translated in the form of a black and white colorway and the melodic notes are able to play when biking through the different power modes.
It weighs 21 kilograms and is actually heavier than the Carbon 1 by the brand, but stays aligned with the other models that fall under the same category. The motor is a 350Q hub that is powered by a 360Wh battery that can be removed with top assisted speed of 20MPH. There are over four modes of the bike including Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Turbo.
