Vegan Long-Battery Ebikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

FLX Bike's Babymaker II Has a 40% Larger Battery and a Minimalist Design

— February 24, 2022 — Autos
Following the success of its 'Babymaker' ebike release, 'FLX Bike' has unveiled the 'Babymaker II' with several notable improvements over the original. The two largest improvements are the weight and the battery. The Babymaker II has a 36 V battery capable of up to 70 miles of range per charge, whereas the original Babymaker could only deliver around 40 miles per charge.

One notable aspect of the Babymaker II is its material composition, as the leather in the seat and the handle grips are made out of vegan materials, resulting in this being a cruelty-free bicycle. As for the weight of this vehicle, the upgraded aluminum alloy frame result in an ultra-light total weight of 35lbs, meaning the entire bike can be easily carried or stored on a bus. The top speed of the Babymaker II is 25 mph which is achieved by the bike's 350-w rear-hub motor.

FLX Bike's Babymaker II has an MSRP of $2,222 USD, and the bike launched on 02/22/2022 on what the brand calls "Twosday."
