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.
The M600 electric motor from Chinese manufacturer Bafang, 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.
