ELECTRIC BIKE GOES THE EXTRA MILE
IT’S being touted as Australia’s lightest foldable electric bike.
Jupiter Bike, co-designed by Melbourne man Ryan Jenkins, takes 90 minutes to charge, has a powerful motor and light alloy frame, and reaches speeds of up to 20km/h.
It charges via an app, weighs less than 10kg and can be packed into a backpack in less than a minute.
Mr Jenkins said the demand for a lightweight electric c bike had increased in recent years.
“It solves the ‘last mile’ problem, problem where commuters usually find they’re getting off public transport and are still more than a kilometre away from their destination,” he said.
