After launching its first electric bike in 2015, Karmic Bikes is now introducing the Oslo on Kickstarter as an easy-to-use "bike of the future." The modern personal electric mobility system boasts a design the appeals to the urban rider and addresses some of the reasons why people in cities don't ride bikes. The Oslo has a comfortable seat, storage, easy acceleration and an industrial and minimalist design that lends itself well to commuting, running errands or simply exploring the city.
Oslo is a Class 2 Ebike, meaning that it has a limited top-speed of 20mph and offers three levels of pedal assist: Eco, Normal and Boost.
With the Oslo, Karmic updated its battery system, making it possible for riders to pull out one drained battery and instantly replace it for a fully charged one.
