McLaren presented a very powerful electric bike (7 photos)

Supercar maker McLaren has unveiled limited edition models of its very powerful electric bicycles, approved for use on regular roads. The motor produces 600 W of rated power.





The line includes Extreme and Sport models (the orange and gray bikes in the photo, respectively). They were developed by the McLaren team in-house, without the involvement of third parties. The same artists who created the Artura hybrid supercar were responsible for the design.

The electric motor develops 600 W nominal and 825 W peak power. Its torque is 161 Nm. You can buy simpler versions: both models are also available with motors with a nominal power of 250 W.

McLaren Sport is equipped with front wheel suspension only. The Extreme also dampens the rear wheel, making it more suitable for backroads and rough terrain. Both bikes come with Pirelli All-Terrain tires and an LCD instrument cluster. There is a choice of five driving modes.

The Sport version costs 8–9 thousand dollars, the Extreme is estimated at 11–12 thousand. Both bikes will be released in limited editions, but the number of copies has not been announced.
