Corrit launched the 'Hover 2.0' and 'Hover 2.0+' e-bikes with a number of smart features. Firstly, the e-bikes feature full connectivity capabilities with both Android and iOS devices, which grants access to a number of features. This includes smart locking and unlocking, an automatic alarm system, remote bike monitoring, and geo-fencing.
Secondly, the e-bike has a unique lightweight, open-concept frame that allows for excessive modularity. The bike features an ultra-wide design that more closely resembles a motor scooter. As a result, the dual-bar frame allows for bags, accessories, phone holders, and more to be safely attached.
The Hover 2.0 and Hover 2.0+ boast the same motor and speed, achieving an acceleration of 0-25kmph in 3 seconds and a max speed of 25kmph. The main difference, however, comes from the battery. The 2.0 version features a 1.5kWh battery pack, while the 2.0+ version is upgraded with a 1.8kWh battery pack, resulting in 80km and 110km ranges, respectively.
