The FEDDZ may looks like your common pedelec, but in fact we’re dealing with a full-on electric bike, intelligently guised in the shape of a bicycle. The FEDDZ is supposed to hit the European stores this month, with prices ranging between €6,000 and €7,000 ($8,250-9,615), available in 4 trims.
If you think that such prices are a bit on the rough side, trust me they’re not, as the FEDDZ seems to be quite a performer. Its ECO, base version is good for 70 km (43.5 miles) on a single charge, while the bigger, premium battery pack can delivers an 110 km (68 miles) range. Top speeds are either 25 or 45 km/h (15.5-28 mph), and this means decent fun on the street.
The smaller battery needs 4 hours for a full charge on a fast charger, and max 5.5 hours on a normal one, whereas the bigger version will take a tad more, with a max charging time of 7 hours. Yet the battery packs are easily replaceable, and getting two units will allow riders to effortlessly ride for longer periods of time.
FEDDZ is powered by a 2kW rear hub motor delivering 60 Nm (44.2 lb-ft) of torque and 3 selectable acceleration modes. 26-inch tires, in-frame storage with securing straps, 180mm Magura Hydraulic MT4 brakes, LED running lights and turn signals, a Philips head light and RFID starting, they’re all standard. The bike is street legal and requires a helmet, as it belongs to the L1E, small motorcycle category. The Premium, high-power version requires a car license or (German) AM license.
And we believe that some smartphone integration is in preparation, as FEDDZ mentions that the bike is Bluetooth-ready. Via autoblog
