is simple, yet effective. On the outside, all we see is the black housing that doubles as the wheel hub. Underneath the casing, however, the batter occupies the outer core, while the motor occupies the inner core—sort of like an egg, with the battery positioned where the eggwhite would be, and the motor where the yolk would be.
Nevertheless, from a commuter perspective, this setup stands the chance to be universally accessible, and could make e-bikes even more accessible to a wider audience. Now, in the case of the Ossby Curve Electric, the motor has a nominal power output of 250 watts, while the battery surrounding the motor has 10 Ah of juice. According to Ossby, this compact motor-battery combo can deliver up to 44 miles of range on a single charge—more than enough for the average daily commute.
meant for paved roads. Just looking at its tiny wheels sends shivers down my spine with the thought of riding it off-road, or say, down a flight of stairs or a rather tall curb. As such, users of this bike will have to resist the temptation to ride it in a spirited manner. In exchange for their well-mannered riding, they get a lightweight folding e-bike that weighs no more than 30 pounds, that can be carried in the bus or train, up and down stairs, and stored under your work desk with ease.
Price-wise, Ossby doesn’t ask all that much for the Curve Electric. The equivalent of just $1,500 USD will be enough to add this cute and functional two-wheeler to your collection.
