Indeed, the bike packs some race-ready performance, and draws inspiration from the high-tech race cars in Formula E. Perhaps the first thing you\u2019ll notice is the fact that the bike has two motors\u2014one on the front wheel, and the other on the back wheel. Why? Well, because they can. That said, a more valid reason for there being two motors is that Mercedes wants to commemorate its Formula E Team\u2019s first all-electric double world championship.<\/p>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"video\" data-url-params=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizer\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAYAAAA7KqwyAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAABpJREFUeNpi\/P\/\/PwMlgImBQjBqwLAwACDAAOVfAw9\/ZDvcAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/p>\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R8Hvl5BIi88\" data-src-param=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Diving into a little more detail about this two-wheeler, it\u2019s made by n+ Bikes, a company that Mercedes has worked with before for previous e-bike models. In the case of the CE, its total output from both motors is 750W, with an astounding torque figure of 130 Nm. Unfortunately, however, the fact that it\u2019s classified as an e-bike means that it must conform to certain rules, and that means it\u2019s limited to a top speed of 28 miles per hour. The two motors subsequently draw power from two batteries, each of 10-amp-hour capacities, with one on the frame and the other on the seat post. They\u2019re said to offer a total range of 75 miles, albeit in \u201coptimum riding conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<section contenteditable=\"false\" data-widget=\"mosaic\" data-type=\"2\" data-align=\"none\" data-size=\"100\">\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"6825085\" data-title=\"\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s2\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Mercedes-EQ\u2019s New Championship Edition Electric Bike \" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/L33NOG\/s2\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"6825086\" data-title=\"\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s2\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Mercedes-EQ\u2019s New Championship Edition Electric Bike \" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s3\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/wllzmR\/s2\/meet-mercedes-eq-s-new-championship-edition-electric-bike.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p>Other hardware components on the <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/category\/electric-bicycles\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"8\" data-params=\"%7B%22section_route%22%3A%22news%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22electric-bicycles%22%7D\">e-bike<\/a> consist of road-focused Maxxis Hookworm tires that offer efficiency and smoothness on paved roads. To take the edge off of uneven road surfaces such as cobblestones or light gravel, a standard telescopic front suspension fork has been thrown in. Finally, the bike sends power to the ground from the rider\u2019s legs via a belt drive system, which is famous for being quieter and lower maintenance than standard chain-driven systems. At the end of the day, if you want to add the Mercedes-EQ CE e-bike to your collection, you\u2019re looking at a sticker price of $5,800 USD.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22606970%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Electric%20Bike%20Company%20Introduces%20New%20Model%20F%20Folding%20E-Bike%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22electric-bike-company-model-f-folding-bike%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%221%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FAkk8mO%2Fs5%2Fjdwgbg4vkz0.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22605875%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22France%20Is%20Paying%20Drivers%20Up%20To%204%2C000%20Euros%20To%20Switch%20To%20E-Bikes%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22france-4000euros-drivers-switch-ebikes%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FL33l6m%2Fs5%2Fchinese-cycle-manufacturer-magicycle-introduces-cruiser-all-terrain-e-bike.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-Benz is known as one of the most luxurious, highly desirable makes in the market.
