The Qubit X2 folding electric bicycle from Coppernicus Mobility Pvt. Ltd, a Mangalore based company, is among the least complicated e- cycles because it has only one single chain ring. That means you need to change gears using the shifters on the right side of the handlebar. The shifters are engaged with your index finger and your thumb. The Qubit X2 has 7 gears covering all riding needs and costs Rs 69,990.

FEATURES

It’s obvious that one of Qubit e-bike’s major attractions is its folding mechanism. It gets neatly packed in a bag and can conveniently be put away in the trunk of a car or some corner of the room. Thus, it’s easy to store and easy to transport. Once you have unfolded the bike, you can see it is unique in its design and build. The e-bike gets heat treated aluminium 6061 frame which is lightweight and durable.

Folding and unfolding the bike has to be done with care with its pedals folded in and in a position where it does not interfere with the unfolding process. Adjusting the seat height is very easy. Just below it you get the charging point and also the seat post has a lithium ion battery pack. The entire seat and its cylindrical post can be taken out for charging.

The 36V 5.8Ah battery has a charging time between 3-4 hours. You get up to 800 charge cycles. You get a range of around 30 to 40kms on a single charge using a bit of pedal assist and smart riding.

Anyone weighing up to 100kg and between 4 feet 9 inches to 6’3’’ in height can ride it easily. The e-bike has a wheel size of 20 inches.
