Is your commute in a NY state of mind?

In New York where commuters in 2017 spent on average 91 hours in traffic, people are starting to give up their cars and looking into eco-friendly mobility. The rise of the bicycle as a modern alternative for urban transport has received positive feedback from cities. As a result, they are upgrading the supporting infrastructure to provide a safe environment for cyclists.

In Canada big cities like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are Tandeming on this eco-friendly commuting phenomenon.  Montreal by example has approximately 850 km of bike lanes.  Half of these continue to be maintained by the city resources throughout the snowy Montreal winter.  Knowing how important the bike is the modern city, our friends at Montreal based Alizeti have introduced an innovative tech device that will help cyclists exceed their daily commute at a faster pace.

The Alizeti 300C E-bike System is a light weight electric DC motor that works with one battery and will propel your bike at  20 mph (32 km/h) up to 40 miles (64 km). A full charge of the battery takes approximately 5 hours with a level one charger. The  E-bike Pwer Drive System works on any bicycle with a smooth centre tread . The Power Drive System takes full advantage of regenerative braking to help extend the charge of your battery when riding. The Alizeti system can be used in most weather conditions including rain.

For those looking to take their bike to another level, the dual flex-power will enable cyclists to double their distance. You would simply slide in the second battery and extend your range to  40 miles (60 km).

DIY installation is easy peasy and is done with no special tools (other than a wrench, and a hex-key) and can be done in as little 15-40 minutes.  Installation is equivalent to mounting a bike rack. The modular drive unit can be easily interchanged with as many different bicycles as you wish.   You can either use the the Power Drive to provide assistance when peddling or go pedal free with the power assisted “Throttle Mode”. If you wish to go unaided the the Alizeti Power Drive System can be automatically disengaged so you can enjoy riding your bike without power aided assistance.

The Alizeti 300C Power Drive E-bike System comes with a Tamper Proof Anti-Theft Security System which includes:

  • Motion-activated sensors
  • A 90-decibel alarm
  • Theft deterrent strobe lights
  • Lockable tailgate
  • Security screws

Alizeti is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter for the 300C Power Drive and delivery is expected in June of 2018.
