M55 Beast Luxury eBike Introduced

More and more electric bicycles have been hitting city streets recently, launching a new trend in personal mobility. However, as many would expect much more than just a vehicle takes them from A to B, M55 decided to offer a more luxurious approach to the subject.

Specifically, the company has recently revealed a new electric bike concept dubbed the Beast, which will only be produced in a limited number of 250 units.

But what makes the Beast so special? Well, apparently these e-bikes will have a CNC machined aluminum frame, carbon fiber plates, Formula One stopping power, a brushless electric motor and fox suspension. Electric assistance is offered on the bike only when vigorous pedaling needs to be done. The Beast has a maximum speed of 48 mph (77 km/h).

The battery reportedly lasts for 44 km (27 miles) on full throttle but can go as far as 150 km (93 miles) with normal use. Riding the Beast is also easier than it sounds, as its creators give their word that you’ll get used to it in just 10 minutes. The eBike weighs in just 33 kg (73 lbs).

Designed for off-road use, the M55 Beast is equipped with an integrated light system that will be directed where the handlebar is oriented. The custom handlebar system also integrates the bike computer, the control buttons and display unit. It also houses the gear change mechanism which is complemented by the motor assist controls.

According to M55, the Beast will be available for purchase from February next year, and is expected to cost somewhere around US$35,300 (Gizmag says). The company also works on developing a second model, dubbed the Daemon, for urban areas, and which will cost around $13,300. “If the Beast is the Lambo Murcielago, the Daemon is the Gallardo,” they say.
