The world's first "wireless" electric bicycle, as in no wires, will let riders pedal in style, while also charging their iPhone or iPad devices.
Toronto-based Daymak, which makes the "Shadow Ebike," said its new bicycle features wireless braking, wireless throttle and wireless pedal-assist function, which all communicate using 2.5-gigahertz frequency-hopping "spread-spectrum" technology. That means there are no wires or delicate electrical components to short-circuit.
It has a built-in electric motor and runs on a 250- or 350-watt battery, which offers up to 12 to 15 miles of range on "pure" electricity, or around 22 miles in pedal-assist mode. The battery takes about four hours to charge in a standard 110-volt outlet. It also integrates a USB port to charge an iPhone, iPad or any similar device while pedaling.
"This is a dream come true for all of us. From a paper design to commercial production, and over four years in development, it's unbelievable," said Yeg Baiocchi, Daymak's CEO. "We have finally reached the production phase of the Shadow Ebike."
Daymak said the first Shadow Ebikes will be available starting April 30 and cost $2,000.
