A company from Los Angeles has decided to merge the traits of a BMX bike with those of a powerful electric commuting vehicle. The resulting creation was called the Chimera. The most notable feature of the Chimera is its high-drive powertrain. This powertrain has a patented design that allows you to normally pedal the bike, when the electric motor is turned off. This is a perfect solution if you use Chimera like any other BMX.

amazing video and narration, well done! It won't be obvious to the average person but you have found all the hidden gems currently out there, or coming soon.
I wasn't aware of Ristretto and could very well buy one soon, if so, buying you guys a drink or two to celebrate!
My question is ( their cool) but with the Battery technology ever changing will the electric bike be able to up grade to the new batteries? Lithium aspect is going to be phased out, and no longer be available. That is why I will not buy an EV of any kind until they standardize the battery technology that will be cost effective and reliable for many years to come. Or at least the EV can be upgradable as the battery technology changes.
It seems that dozens of new electric bikes get revealed every month but sometimes it seems that only some of them carry the wow factor. In today's video we are looking at some of the coolest ebikes that were presented this year. Which of these is your top pick and did we miss any truly amazing models?
