Just as you might expect based on its name alone, the N+ Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1® Team Rallye Edition 750 is a lot of e-bike.
Not only does it feature a powerful 750W rear-hub motor capable of accelerating up to 28 mph, it has dual batteries with a total of 720 watt-hours (Wh) of capacity. It’s also
decked out with a gigantic quad-LED headlight, a smartphone-sized color display, and it pairs with an included Bluetooth-enabled helmet that syncs with its onboard light system.
The bike, which we’ll refer to most often as the “Rallye” due to its lengthy moniker and overlap with N+’s other Mercedes-branded e-bikes, also boasts electronic shifting via the 9-speed Pinion gearbox mounted at the bottom bracket. Paired with a Gates Carbon
belt, the drivetrain is remarkably long-lasting, low-maintenance, and extremely user-friendly.
The best part? When enabled, the Pinion can automatically downshift when you come to a stop and/or when coasting, making it easy to start or resume pedaling. The gearbox also allows riders to shift when stationary or pedaling uphill. As such, it blends the ease of an automatic transmission with the control and precision of a manual
system.
