The Teleport Ride electric bicycle has been unveiled by the Canadian startup. The Ride is Teleport’s debut e-bike offering and it features a minimalist design. The Teleport Ride will be mounted on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.
Features
The Teleport Ride looks more like a simple non-electric bike due to its basic design. The Ride concept was designed by Gus Johansson and then developed by Anthony Ross. The evolution of the ride into a production model began in 2021. Both Johansson and Ross co-founded Teleport and the Ride marks their entry into the ever-expanding e-bike industry. The Ride has an aluminum frame and is pretty lightweight at 34lbs.
The Ride is equipped with a 750W rear hub motor that delivers a peak power output of 1,200W. Pedaling activities are enhanced with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive system coordination of the wheel movement. The Gates system makes the bike to be largely maintenance-free and a silent ride. The Ride has a battery capacity of 36V. 11.4Ah which delivers an assistance range of 100 miles (~161km). The range of the Ride is very impressive and is due to improved battery tech featured in the e-bike.
The Ride has a top pedal assist speed of 28mph and the ride experience is made smoother with an in-built torque sensor. A thumb throttle is also featured on the Ride for riding without any pedaling activity. The electronics in the Teleport Ride, as well as the wiring, are placed within the e-bike’s frame, enhancing its sleekness. There are multiple ride modes available with the bike, with the Eco mode offering the top range of 100 miles.
The Teleport Ride has puncture-resistant 700x38c tires and Tektro hydraulic brakes. It has a payload capacity of about 290lbs and an OLED display on the handlebars helps the rider to monitor ride parameters and toggle the modes.
Pricing & Availability
The Teleport Ride is priced at $1,899 on Indiegogo. Teleport expects the impressive specs and affordable price of the Ride to deliver a successful Indiegogo campaign. The earliest deliveries will be in February 2024 if the campaign achieves its target.
