AUDI unveiled its ‘wörthersee’ performance electric bike for sports and trick cycling. This powerful e-bike assists in performing stunts, tricks and increasing pedaling speed, while its touchscreen computer interface helps ensure that all your Facebook friends get to hear about it.
The Audi weighs 24 pounds and features a compact frame made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer with a low center of gravity to make it superbly agile. The same carbon fiber-reinforced polymer is also used for the 26″ wheels which feature an innovative “Audi ultra blade” design with broad flat spokes for an optimized transmission of pedal power. The 2.3 kW electric motor sends up to 184 lb-ft. of torque to the rear wheel and uses a lithium-ion battery that only needs 2.5 hours to fully charge. The battery can also be easily be swapped out with a charged one during long rides.
The cyclist can choose between five cycling modes that can be set using the touchscreen on the e-bike. In the “Pure” mode, the drive power is purely the product of the cyclist’s legs, while in “Pedelec” mode you are supported by the electric motor that then makes speeds of up to 50 mph possible and gives you a range of 31-44 miles.
