Delfast, the Whittier, California-based micro-mobility manufacturer, unveiled the 'Delfast California' e-bike. This is a u-frame, step-through e-bike set at the entry-level price point and targeted at the casual rider. The bike is designed to be easy to ride, balance, and steer while providing an ergonomic seating experience.
The Delfast California boasts a 750W mid-drive motor and a removable Samsung-made battery. This results in a range of 100 miles per charge, a top speed of 28 miles per hour, and a recharge time of only four hours when plugged into a sufficient wall outlet.
In addition to its frame and its drivetrain, the Delfast California features an array of smart functionalities. This includes a built-in display with a dedicated CPU and Bluetooth connectivity. This allows the bike to monitor its components, as well as display other important information in real-time. This information ranges from battery remaining, mileage, and time of day, to location tracking, bike lock status, and alarm status.
