Car Charger-Compatible E-Bikes

The Hound Supercharged E-Bike Uses a J1772 Connector

— April 12, 2023 — Autos
Watt Wagons’ new 'Hound Supercharged' e-bike is a powerful and rugged machine that can tackle any terrain and go the distance. The Hound Supercharged is designed for serious off-road adventurers, campers, and hunters who need reliable and versatile transport in the wilderness.

The Hound Supercharged features a custom-built frame with an extra-long rear rack, ultra-fat tires, quad-piston hydraulic disc brakes, and a comfortable upright seating position. It also comes with a belt drive option to reduce the impact of elements and a range of accessories to suit different needs.

But what sets the Hound Supercharged apart from other e-bikes is its impressive motor and battery system. The Hound Supercharged uses an upgraded Bafang Ultra motor with an X1 controller, which delivers 3 kW of nominal power and 3.5 kW of peak power. It also has a massive 52V 60Ah battery with 3,210 Wh of capacity, which can provide up to 200 miles of range on pedal assist or 100 miles on throttle only.

The Hound Supercharged also has the ability to charge from electric car charging stations, thanks to its onboard EV charger with a J1772 connector. It also comes with a 52V 5A fast charger for regular outlets.

The Hound Supercharged is the ultimate e-bike for those who want to explore the outdoors without limits. It is available for pre-order from Watt Wagons’ website for $5,499.
