Zoomi Monterey Electric Bicycle Needs No Pedaling

Zoomi World has the solution for people who like biking, but not so much the strenuous exercise that goes with it. The Monterey sports a 350 W rear-hub motor — larger than that of most similar bikes, Zoomi says — and a removable 36-volt 13aH battery, good for about 33 miles of travel. Bikers can select from three modes: Throttle, Pedal-assist and Pedal-only, depending on how much work you feel like doing. Speed tops out at 20 mph with Shimano Nexus 6-speed gearing. All kidding aside, it’d be great to have something like this for steep walking hills, but it obviously costs a bit more than the average mountain bike. Suggested retail price is $1,499, and it’s available now. [via Zoomi World]
