'Moto Parilla,' the Italian luxury electric bicycle manufacturer, announced the 'Tricolore' hybrid e-bike. This e-bike is a mix between an electric mountain bike and an off-road electric motorcycle, making it fit for a long list of terrains and environments. The bike features a Polini EP3 250-watt powertrain that delivers 500 watts of power. The Tricolore is supplied by an 880 watt-hour battery that can supply the powertrain for more than 100km of range before needing to charge.
The Tricolore has grip-focused tires and a flexible suspension that result in comfortable off-road experiences. In addition to this, the bike is largely made out of recyclable materials and is, itself, recyclable at end-of-life. What is also notable about the Tricolore, though, is its design. The bike features a premium, sleek design with a matte-black frame complete with metallic gold and bold red accents.
