A cheaper alternative to the Black-Trail bike, the M55-Bikes Beast is yet another “hybrid” bicycle which is powered by a battery and it only costs €25,555 (about $35,000) before taxes… but you do get free delivery.
Again, like I said about the Black-Trail, why would anyone want to spend this kind of money on a bicycle that is less eco-friendly than its human-powered cousin? If you need to go longer distances, then I think a Toyota Prius (or even Chevy Volt) might be a better alternative, and you can transport three or four of your hippy buddies with you.
On to the bike itself; it’s built by a company in Hungary and features state of the art technology which you’re more likely to find on a Formula 1 car than a bicycle. Carbon fiber, Titanium, CNC machining, and a brushless motor mechanism are just a few of the technologically advanced materials and processes used on this bike.
The M55 Beast features rigid structure and can go off-road, which a Prius can’t do. It comes with 1500 watts of power, reaches a top speed of 40 mph and travel up to 75 miles on a single charge.
