Fucare\u2019s new Gemini X electric bike pairs a novel looking trellis-style frame with some high performance electric bike parts to create a fast Class 3 e-bike that looks at home on both the streets and the trails.<\/p>\n

The frame is rated for 400 lb (181 kg) of load and gives the Gemini X a look all its own, at least for now. We rarely see e-bikes rated for such heavy loads<\/a>, though we also rarely see e-bikes with this frame design.<\/p>\n

Part truss bridge, part Erector Set, the frame uses narrow diameter tubes that wrap around the forward-mounted 48V battery while still leaving an open area on top to allow for battery removal.<\/p>\n

A second battery is housed just behind the seat tube, resulting in a combined 20.8 Ah. With 998 Wh of total battery capacity, Fucare claims a lofty 55 miles (88 km) of range on throttle-only riding, or an even further 80 miles (130 km) under pedal assist.<\/p>\n

The 750 W hub motor in the rear wheel will provide 20 mph (32 km\/h) of assist on throttle-only riding or an even faster 28 mph (45 km\/h) when the rider uses the highest pedal assist level. That keeps the Gemini X in Class 3 designation for street legal operation in the US.<\/p>\n

Suspension is provided up front with a spring fork that features both pre-load adjustment and lockout. Moving a bit higher, the bars house a large 5.3\u2033 color screen to display pertinent ride data like speed, distance, battery charge level, pedal assist mode, and more. There\u2019s also a USB charge port in that screen that can be used to help keep your phone or other USB-powered device topped up on your ride.<\/p>\n

Moving further back along the bike, a 7-speed Shimano transmission gives a range of gear ratios for those that will use the pedals as more than staggered foot rests.<\/p>\n

Both wheels include hydraulic disc brakes for quick and maintenance-free stoppers, and those wheels get wrapped in 4\u2033 wide rubber. The fat tires are only 20\u2033 diameter, striking a balance between wide tires for comfort and cornering, yet maintaining a smaller diameter for reduced sized and improved nimbleness.<\/p>\n

A step-through version of the e-bike is also available.<\/p>\n

Both models include a rear rack, ABS fenders and LED lights in the base price of $1,899<\/a>. The company is also throwing in a cable lock, though it looks like you could cut through it with a pair of safety scissors, so you may want to consider a higher-end lock<\/a> for an e-bike investment of this price.<\/p>\n

Those that want to add even more accessories like a rear basket can trick the ride out for extra utility, but even the base model seems to be nicely spec\u2019d.<\/p>\n
