New Polaris ebike offers power of diesel without the gas tank

Polaris eBikes’ new Diesel Titanium Oxide (TiO) Limited Edition is changing the industry’s expectations for electric bikes.

Carey Hopkins, EVantage USA, Inc. senior product director, said, “This new model shatters pre-conceived notions of what an electric bicycle can do.”

The Diesel TiO Limited Edition delivers new levels of powersports performance with the company’s proprietary computer processor-based Gear Speed Technology that revolutionizes the dynamics of power-assisted cycling with intuitive responsiveness to the controls of a bicycle like never before.

The hot new ebike, with its unique, colorful, eye-popping graphics and finish, was introduced at Interbike in Las Vegas in September.

“These new models will change the industry’s expectation of electric bikes,” said EVantage USA president Adam Rand. “We’ve engineered our products to move at the speed of your intentions. Each biking gear is programmed to provide the appropriate torque or acceleration based on the terrain and riding style, meant to go where the road ends and the adventure begins.”

Equipped with the new technology of Perpetual Arc Regenerationm, the rider generates power to the battery while pedaling via four different methods: on flat or downhill terrain to capture up to 100 watts of charging power; backpedaling brake assist, gradually slowing the bike down and capturing residual energy for regeneration; using the electronically controlled hydraulic disc brakes; or pedaling above 21 or 29 mph, depending on the model.

Active Trail Technology automatically delivers whisper-quiet power when needed for acceleration up hills, and adjusts back to regeneration on flat or downhill.

EVantage USA, Inc., develops and produces the proprietary power components for the entire line-up of Polaris eBikes which includes commuter, mountain and fat-tire models. A new 750w MY2015 system quickly powers speeds of up to 28 mph, providing a range of up to 50 miles per charge without engaging the regeneration features.
