OHM Cycles rolls out new line of electric-assist hybrid bicycles

Filed under:

There’s certainly no shortage of options out there for folks wanting a little assistance on their bike commute, but whether you’re still on the fence, you may want to consider one of OHM Cycles’ new models, which includes the Urban XU450 and XU700 for less adventuresome folks, and the Sport XS700 and XS750 for those that like venture off-road occasionally. Each of those include “silent” BionX motors of various wattage, along with Molicel lithium-ion batteries that OHM says can be fully recharged in about three hours. You’ll additionally get a “command console” that displays all your vitals, and an integrated shield system (complete with an alarm) that promises to keep those lazy bike thieves out there at bay. No word on prices for any of them just yet, but the bikes are apparently making their way to dealers that month, so you should be able to get a quote soon
ample.
