This is an upgraded version of the brand's previous R22 bike that improves in nearly every area. The R22 Everest Edition has a carbon fiber frame to save on weight, allowing the manufacturer to use heavier motors and batteries.
The bike boasts top-of-the-line specifications, including a 3,260 Wh battery, a peak power output of 2,500W, and a pedal-assisted top speed of 36 mph. On top of this, the bike reportedly delivers 300 miles of range before needing to charge.
