Regardless of how you feel about e-bikes, the past few years have pretty clearly indicated that high-powered cycles are here to stay. Or, more appropriately, move.
As a New York City cyclist who prefers to pedal, I often avoid the bike lanes. There are so many electrified rigs absolutely hauling ass through them, I feel safer out amongst the cars.
Yet, as many wild bikes as I have seen, I’m not sure how I’d react if I saw Nireeka’s latest two-wheeler come ripping up the street.
Going by the name Spectrx, it promises a staggering amount of speed and torque at a surprising price.
Speed freak
I know what you are thinking: Quit burying the lead, Steve, how fast does it go?
While it’s not the fastest ever, the Spectrx boasts a 6-kW mid-drive motor that generates 206 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 50 mph.
