The maturity stage of electric bicycles in the United States
The flagship model of ECOE was hailed as “the epitome of the electric bicycle industrial revolution” at the 2023 CES. Its dual-motor system can output 200N・m peak torque. With a 60V 32AH battery pack, it achieved a range of 150km (pure electric mode) in actual testing in Midtown Manhattan, and a 40-degree steep slope pass rate of 97%. The dual suspension system adopts a lightweight design of magnesium alloy. When riding on the cobblestone road of the Brooklyn Bridge, the bump filtering effect is 60% higher than that of traditional mountain bikes. The hydraulic brake system is certified by SGS, and the emergency braking distance at 100km/h is only 3.2 meters, far exceeding the US CPSC safety standard. Although the car weighs 65kg, the integrated design of the carbon fiber frame and the hub motor makes the control extremely flexible. It has completed a 720° drift test on Lombard Street in San Francisco, perfectly interpreting the “balance between speed and elegance”. –Key historical events in the United States during the maturity of electric bicycles (2020 to present) – 2020: The epidemic gave birth to the “bicycle renaissance”After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the use of public transportation in the United States plummeted by 70%, and the closure of gyms forced people to turn to outdoor exercise. According to statistics from the NPD Group, in 2020, the sales of electric bicycles in the United States surged by 190% year-on-year to 810,000 units, a record high. Among them, entry-level models (US$1,000-1,500) accounted for 68%, and the main consumers were urban middle-class people aged 35-45.
