An electric mountain bike teaser was just released by San Diego, California-based FLX Bike, a budding manufacturer of electric bicycles. There hasn’t been much information released about the bike’s technical details up to this point, but what we do know suggests that the Weapon X is a high-performance electric mountain bike made of carbon fiber that can handle some challenging terrain.<\/p>\n

The M600 electric motor from Chinese manufacturer Bafang<\/a>, which is capable of speeds of up to 28 mph, is the first thing that immediately stands out about the Weapon X. Class 3 criteria, which correspond to U.S. e-bike rules, are often met in other models powered by the same Bafang Motor and allow for a top speed of 28 miles per hour with pedal assistance. The rider is, however, free to go beyond those speeds provided they do so with their own leg power.<\/p>\n

That being said, outside the U.S., or in countries with much laxer e-bike rules and regulations, the Bafang M600 can be unlocked to go even faster, and can even be mated to a throttle. There is indeed a chance that the Bafang Motor in the Weapon X won’t be tuned to meet e-bike rules and regulations, as the bike itself seems to be designed as more of a recreational machine<\/a> rather than a utility-focused electric bike. Furthermore, the FLX website states that the bike will be equipped with an 840 Wh battery pack, but the range has not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n

As of the moment, information surrounding the FLX Weapon X is scarce, apart from a teaser video released by the company showcasing the upcoming bike\u2019s capabilities on the trails. That being said, from a design standpoint, the Weapon X appears to feature an all-mountain geometry, and suspension travel somewhere within the 140mm to 160mm range. Based on the POV footage found in the teaser, it looks like the Weapon X also gets a rather large LCD display. Whether or not it gets techie features such as smartphone connectivity or even a dedicated mobile app remains to be announced.<\/p>\n
