It’s a 60 mph e-bike, the next ‘must have‘ in urban transport.  Germany’s PG Bikes seems to think so, given the recent intro of their new Blacktail BT-01, high-end, electric bike.

Perhaps the e-bike market will embrace a design that’s priced like a Bentley, reaches speeds that are the e-bike equivalent of a Ferrari, produces zero emissions and looks like a prop from Will Smith’s ill-fated remake of ‘The Wild, Wild West.’

The bike features a CM48 V hybrid 1.2 KW engine, 3 driving modes controlled by BlackTrail BT667 Software, a 48 Volt Lithium Ion 17 Ah battery that charges to 80% in 30 minutes and 100% in 150 minutes.  Additional stuff:  ventilated disc brakes, deluxe LED dim light, brake light and back light, and a bunch of fancy indicators and status gauges.

What happens when you go 60mph on an e-bike – even a German engineered one?  Advice: strap on a good helmet.
