I didn’t know you can get e-bike from Jeep … but now you can for a measly USD $5,899.
Taken fromElectrek… Jeep is the latest car company trying to cash in on booming electric bicycle sales bybringing a Jeep e-bike to market。The company has just announced that pre-orders are going live today for the Jeep electric bicycle. But wait until you see the price.
Jeep is asking for a whopping $5,899 for its fat tire, all-terrain electric bicycle.
To put that in perspective, other popular fat tire electric bikes such as theRadRover from Rad Power Bikesretail for arounda quarter of that price。
Of course the Jeep electric bicycle is a lot more e-bike than most others, to be fair.
Marketed under a partnership with North American company QuietKat, the Jeep e-bike puts out an astounding 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque, thanks to itsmassively powerful Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor。
That motor is well known to put out over 1.5kW of power, though QuietKat and Jeep market the e-bike as providing 750W of power. They could be detuning the motor, or more likely using a lower figure to avoid running afoul of e-bike regulations in many US states that limit power to 750W.
