High-Tech Carbon E-Bikes

The Urtopia E-Bike Features GPS, Voice Control, and Thumbprint Technology

— November 15, 2021 — Autos
A new high-tech e-bike called Urtopia just hit the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo and is already receiving a significant amount of attention due to its sleek design and sophisticated features.

For starters, the new bike boasts a full carbon fiber frame, including its fork, handlebars, and seat post. The design of the frame also stylishly abandons the traditional seat tube, replacing it with a one-of-a-kind zig-zag construction. In addition, the Urtopia comes equipped with an array of high-tech gadgets and features. These include an LED headlight, a thumbprint scanner for unlocking the device, projected turn indicators, voice control, and an LCD display system

In terms of power, the bike features a 250-watt rear hub motor, which is powered by a removable 360-Wh LG lithium-ion battery, allowing riders to reach top speeds of 20 miles per hour.
