Vinci Motorbike Review | Faster Than A Speeding Bullet?

Look! Out on the road! It’s a torpedo on wheels!

It’s an off-road bazooka!

It’s… the Vinci Motorbike!

Whatever you might want to call it, this cafe-racer (or moped-style) e-bike sports a unique high-design aesthetic that’s unlike anything the team here at Electric Bike Report has seen before.

A key element of the Vinci’s artful, custom design is its offset and slanted cylindrical body. The bike’s tail end houses its 48V, 720 Wh battery and circular tail light. The projecting front “cannon” hosts a massive 2300-lumen headlight and cutouts to allow for effective steering.

Have You Seen This? 80 MPH ‘E-Bike’ For Military & Police Use

Hi-Power Cycles, a California-based e-bike maker is known for making a number of e-bikes that operate without restriction. They have just announced a new variation on one of their existing models, the Revolution, called the Revolution W, that is billed as being capable of delivering riders to 80 mph.
 

Hi-Power Cycles has also announced a new “Defense Division” that is aimed at getting the Revolution into the hands of the military and law enforcement.

The Revolution W is driven by a mammoth 10,500W hub motor that produces an astonishing 280Nm of torque, more than triple what most eMTBs offer. Another version of the Revolution, the Revolution XX has been tested at an OHV area achieving a top speed of 74 mph. No word on exactly how big the battery is, but they claim it will give riders a throttle-only range of 100 mi.

Ariel Returns to Cycling Roots With 3D-Printed Titanium E-Bike

The English brand Ariel has announced it is introducing two new e-bikes following a 92-year hiatus from the bike biz. Ariel got its start in 1871 with what they claim was the first production penny farthing. You may know the name as a result of their track car, the Atom.

The Ariel Dash is a road e-bike with a frame made from titanium and carbon fiber. It uses seamless 6Al/4V tubing (94 percent titanium, 6 percent aluminum and 4 percent vanadium), welded to 3D-printed lugs, while the seat tube and seatpost are made from carbon fiber. No word yet on weight, but road e-bikes can weigh less than 30 lbs.

The Ariel Dash comes in two different configurations. The Dash Urban is a single-speed e-bike while the Dash Adventure features a Shimano 1×12 GRX mechanical groupset. Both versions sport a Mahle X20 250W mid-drive motor powered by a 236Wh battery. Both versions feature internal routing of the brake hoses (and the cables in the case of the Dash Adventure).
