'Vanpower Bike,' the Bridgewater, New Jersey-based professional electric bike company, announced the launch of the 'Manidae' premium mountain bike. This bike is suited for all terrain with its sturdy frame and its fat, grippy tires. The bike has a step-over design with an ergonomic adjustable seat that ensures the comfort of the rider, whether riding on the road or on a rough trail.
The Manidae features a 750-watt motor that outputs a maximum torque of 85 Nm, resulting in a 28mph top speed. The motor is powered by a 672-Wh lithium-ion battery that results in up to 70 miles of range per charge. Additionally, this battery is removable, meaning the bike can be ridden as a traditional bike, or the battery can be swapped out once depleted.
The bike has a generous 95mm hydraulic suspension fork and 26" puncture-resistant tires, meaning it is safe to ride on some of the toughest accessible trails.
