Samebike launched a no-frills e-bike designed to be familiar to traditional bike users, titled the 'MIX10.' This bike has a simplistic design that allows for the rider to simply change the level of pedal assistance, shift gears, and view basic metrics such as the current speed and remaining battery life. This means there are no complex setup features that require advanced e-bike knowledge, making this an excellent entry-level e-bike.
Despite its no-frills design and its low price point of only $889 USD, the MIX10 boasts a 350W brushless motor and a powerful enough battery to power the bike for up to 60 miles on a single charge, according to Samebike itself. Additionally, the company did not offer top speed figures on pedal-assistance mode, so it will likely be tailored to each market's legal restrictions on e-bikes.
