C3Strom, a Hong Kong-based automotive startup in the e-bike space, announced the 'Astro Class 3,' a motor-assisted off-road electric bike. The Astro Class 3 has five separate levels of motor assist, each of which are geared toward a different riding condition. These conditions include off-roading, street riding, riding up hill, and more.
This versatile e-bike boasts a 750-watt motor and a 780-Wh battery pack that deliver a top speed of up to 32mph and upwards of 50 miles of range per charge. It is important to note, though, that the speed and maximum range will fluctuate based on the riding conditions, such as flat ground or mountainous terrain.
The Astro Class 3 notably includes a 3.5-inch LCD front panel that provides the rider with information such as current speed, remaining battery life, location, and time.
