It’s fair to say that in the past electric cycles haven’t had style on their side, with large, bulky frames and heavy batteries making them clumsy and awkward by nature. In comparison the new X-bykes look and feel like a well designed mountain bike, bringing all the benefits of modern cycle technology with the added bonus of a 250 w motor powered by a compact Lithium Lite 36v battery. At a glance you wouldn’t even realise the X-byke was an electric bike at all.

There are 3 models available - a step through model, a 6 speed cross bar model and the 24 speed cross bar model;
