The PowerStorm MBB™ now features a dual-sided Pedelec Torque Sensor.

“This capable mountain climber will leave 99% of other mountain bikes in the dust and a heavy dent in your pocketbook. If you place an order, they don’t have these on a shelf ready to ship out. The $19,000 purchase buys you a made-to-order bike tuned to your body dimensions.”

Optibike Beats Bosch at Hill Climb

We took an Optibike R22 Everest, Optibike Type 1, and Bosch CX equipped E-Bike to a steep dirt hill climb.

The hill is a 46% grade and has a soft loose dirt surface, certainly not an easy climb to do!

Check out the video to see how each bike did!
