Hummer EV Bike also turns out to be brutal

Hummers are known as cars that look more like a Leopard tank than a passenger vehicle. The Hummer EV Bike is also quite heavily designed.

Hummer EV Bike, emergency leap or gap in the market?

Let’s say you’re a manufacturer of cars with a vortex in the fuel tank and your entire business model is on the line because dinosaur juice is getting more and more expensive. Tom Poes, make up a ruse, Lord Bommel is said to have said.

So that’s what the makers of these former army jeeps did. In addition to their battleships, from which you can look with a pitying look at the poor little bastards who were less affected in the Battle of the Biggest, there is now also an ecologically more responsible Hummer EV Bike ($ 3999). This is produced under license by the American bicycle manufacturer Recon.

All-wheel drive makes the Hummer EV Bike a “jeep”

The engine power of the Hummer EV Bike is impressive. Both front wheel and rear wheel are each equipped with a 750 W motor, so that you can also drive through very difficult terrain, just like with a jeep. This power is far above the maximum permitted power for an e-bike, which is why we are talking about a speed pedelec here.

Fist thick four inch tires

When driving through rough terrain, the more than fist-thick four-inch tires that also have an anti-puncture layer also help. This sporty bicycle is fitted with a derailleur gear. These two strong motors easily give a maximum speed of around 45 km/h, so that in principle even the steepest hills should not be a problem.

The suspension fork certainly helps with this. The Hummer EV Bike speed pedelec is not cheap. But compared to European bicycles such as the Stromer or the Gazelle speed pedelec, it fits the price range reasonably well.

4 hours of charging, two hours of driving pleasure

Given the enormous total engine power, a large battery is indispensable. That is also included, the 48 volts with 18 to 21 Ah combined gives a maximum battery capacity that comes close to the kilowatt hour. The battery can be charged in 4 hours. With a full charge at a reasonable power you do about 2 hours.

Conclusion Hummer EV Bike

Like the brand’s off-road vehicles, this bike makes a clear statement. With this you will definitely attract attention on the road. In the Netherlands, the practical use of this bike is somewhat limited, because we don’t really have rough terrain here where you can do unlimited crosses, with the exception of the beach. In terms of engine power, this bike really beats everything that is currently for sale as an e-bike. So if you want to accelerate quickly and sharply, then this bike is what you are looking for.

Because as far as we know, Hummer EV Bike does not yet have dealers in the Netherlands, you will have to order it in America. That has the necessary feet in the earth, but who knows, there will also be a Dutch dealer in the long term.
