. Those recurring costs make the Mate SUV a bargain at €6,499 when it eventually ships in September 2023. The Mate SUV will be manufactured and assembled in Italy and initially sold in the EU and UK.
For that money you get the European standard 250W motor with a 25km/h top speed and range up to 100km from what looks like a single battery configuration. The Italian-mademotor is mounted mid-drive where it can produce up to 90nM of torque to propel the rider and two small children forward, or whatever you choose to stuff into its 210L of carrying capacity. Hydraulic twin disc brakes help bring everything to a controlled stop.
The Mate SUV is fitted with a Carbon belt drive, instead of a messy chain and derailleur, connected to an Enviolo Heavy hub with internal gears. The bike weighs 49kg before adding accessories like a child seat, off-road tires, and all-weather roof. It comes with integrated front and back lights to make it road-legal, as well an LED lightbar that frames the front box. Rounding out the specs are live location tracking, unspecified “anti-theft protection,” and a USB jack to keep your phone powered.
It’s an interesting electric cargo e-bike from a company that’s undergone transformation via external investment and management. You can try it out yourself when then Mate SUV roadshow begins in a few months in select European cities.
............,Yummmmmmmm
It’s a cool concept, but the use case is going to be extremely specific
Does it come with a Tuk-Tuk roof?
I’d ride this for groceries to the Kroger that like a 5 minute bike ride away
the future of 'becak'
Yeah, I don't think so.
in what alternate universe does it cost $10,000 every year to run a car
No, it isn't.
Probably not.
Looks great and all. What about getting around during unpleasant weather? For that reason alone I’m out.
But can you do a wheelie with it?
ok
