Electric Mountain Bikes

HNF Heisenberg's F1 Model is Developed in Partnership With BMW

— April 4, 2016 — Autos
HNF Heisenberg's F1 electric mountain bike is a vehicle that marries aesthetics with performance. The suspension bike boasts a mid-motor design and a frame swing arm that was patented by car manufacturer BMW.

Described as a high-traction vehicle, this electric mountain bike offers speed and performance while ensuring safety. The bike offers unparalleled grip for riders and is designed to be suitable for rocky terrain without losing stability while in motion.
