The 2009 Optibike OB1 is the signature model of award-winning electric bike designer Jim Turner.  His 2008 Optibike OB1 landed in the California Academy of Sciences museum touted as "The future of transportation."  Built in limited quantities of only 24 per year, OB1 owners become part of an elite club of riders who own the worlds fastest production electric bicycle, but you have to act fast to get one:  last years OB1's sold out in only a few months. 

The OB1 represents the most advanced cutting edge technology available in a Light Electric Vehicle (LEV).  The 2009 OB1 is fully loaded with ultralight carbon fiber components, state of the art GPS navigation, and a fully integrated PDA that displays all of the performance details of the patented Motorized Bottom Bracket (MBB).  The lithium ion battery has the highest capacity offered in an electric bicycle, so you can ride for over 2 hours.   

Owners also get their choice of 3 custom paint designs from the world class paint artists at Gunslinger Custom Paint that includes flawlessly imbedded hand cut 23ct gold leaf that perfectly matches the 23ct gold plated Motorized Bottom Brackett (MBB).  The 2009 Optibike OB1 truly is the gold standard of electric bicycles.

"This OB1 rocks and is a rock solid bike!!!  I try to live my life with as small a carbon footprint as possible.  I have 2 Prius's (his and hers), 2 Segways (his and hers) and 2 electric bikes....the first one is a Tidalforce M750X and the second one is an Optibike OB1.  I use these to do my little errands around town like going to the supermarket, post office, bank etc etc.  I am also into photography.  I just put my DSLR and an assortment of lenses into my backpack, strap my tripod onto the back of my Optibike and I can get to areas that is a pain in the butt to access if I had to do it on foot.   There are a lot of hills where I live and I would say the OB1 is by far the most fun of my green toys.  I often find myself taking the long way to my destination or just going for a cruise before even starting out on my way to my errands when riding the OB1.  I love this bike more than anything I have for transportation bar none!!!  I even bought the external lithium battery pack to extend my range....I have lost about 10 pounds since getting this bike as well...Thanks Optibike for such a well made and life changing machine."

The OB-1 is my third e-bike since year 2000 and certainly is the most powerful with the best range/equipment/appearance ... worth the money IMO and the wait time for delivery.  My Currie Tech machines were nice and got me "hooked" on e-bikes, but the Optibike is like going from a '79 honda civic to a new Indycar w/ off-road capability!  The patented motorized bottom bracket on the Optibike, although not as stealthy as some e-bikes, sets it apart and catapults you way above the competition.  My OB-1 is the ultimate e-bike, which I would recommend without reservation ... it's THE "human hybrid" machine!

"So far the OB1 has exceeded all expectations.  It gets a lot of  attention, perhaps too much!  It is truly the ultimate commuting tool."
