Seattle-based electric bicycle specialist Propella has always been about keeping e-bikes affordable and accessible to a wide range of riders. Its newest e-bike, the Mini Max, is the embodiment of this, with a price tag south of $1,000 USD, and a simple yet robust construction that’s lightweight and dependable. The brand just released all the juicy specs and details of the model, so let’s take a closer look at this small but capable two-wheeler.
Propella bikes is quick to point out that it prioritizes safety, particularly when it comes to fire prevention with its batteries. The company says that the battery housed in the new Mini Max e-bike has been tested and certified by SGS according to UL 2271 standards. For those unaware, SGS is one of the many independent testing and certification bodies that inspect and verify e-bike batteries and ensure that they meet industry standards when it comes to safety. We previously talked about how certain states are mandating all e-bikes to have certified batteries, all in a bid to reduce e-mobility-related fires.
