A prototype e-bike with full-sized 26-inch wheels has been unveiled at EuroBike 2015 in Germany by Mando.

Maybe you ask what is an e-bike?

The electronic element comes from a control unit that monitors the bike’s acceleration and even pedal resistance.

There is a “smartphone-style”control module that mounts on the handle bars. From this the rider can get feedback on power and  speed and even health/fitness information.

It even tells the rider when they are cycling up or down hills.

Once the module is detached, the bike is rendered unusable.

The e-bike is powered by a 504Wh lithium-ion battery which the designer says gives it a travel distance of up to 56 miles on a single charge.

The bike’s body is constructed of carbon as well, and weighs 22 kilograms. It has a top speed of 25 Km/hour.

South Korean manufacturer Mando said the full-sized Footloose e-bike will be available in summer 2016.

Mando’s existing e-bikes include a smaller bike with 20-inch wheels and a folding model.

“With the successful launch of our smaller sized, portable models, we now see a big market opportunity for a full sized bike, particularly in Europe city locations,” said TS Lee, executive director at Mando.
