Interbike’s “Show Daily” presented by Bicycle Retailer and Industry News Article – Read Online
If you’ve got it … well,you know. Flaunt (Booth 10028), a new e-bike brand from Florida, is making its debut at Interbike with a range of reasonably priced e-bikes, including men’s and women’s hybrids and beach cruisers, a fat tire bike and an e-fixie. Flaunt is targeting price points of $1,500 to $1,700, with the fixie to be less expensive so it will be more appealing to college students.
“That’s been our main goal: to provide the everyday rider with the best possible product coming in that price range,” said Kevin Mount, the director of Flaunt. The e-bikes should reach the market by the end of the year. Flaunt plans to follow up by launching a line of four affordable electric scooter models, which will be the company’s flagship product. Mount said the scooter line is in the final phases of certification.
The e-bikes are powered by 500-watt Dapu rear hub motors. The geared motors come with a freewheel so the bikes can be easily ridden without power. The system offers five levels of pedal assist, and the company claims a range of some 38 miles or more on one charge. The bikes are equipped with front and rear disc brakes and Samsung batteries that fit in the rear rack. Mount said Flaunt would target resorts for fleet sales.
“We’d like to provide them with a great bike to rent or loan out to their guests. They could provide bikes for people to get from Point A to Point B around their resorts,” he said.
