Beijing Munro Electric Vehicle is about to make a big splash in the world of small electric motorcycles. The Chinese company has developed one of the coolest-looking e-bikes around, called “Munro 2.0”, which got exposed at CES 2017. The idea of Munro motorbike is initially inspired by and styled after the iconic 1920s Indian Motorcycle. And its brand name, “Munro”, is in honor of Burt Munro, who set a land speed record on an Indian motorcycle. Behind it is a spirit of pursuing perfection and being loyal to dream. aside from its clean, retro aesthetic, Munro Motor’s ‘2.0’ eBike looks a shade different from the rest of the electric bicycle group — it doesn’t have conventional bike pedals. Instead, it features motorcycle-style pegs for resting your feet on, with sparkling shock-absorbers front and rear, keeping riders rolling along in comfort. The bike is a heavyweight weighing around 35 kg, and unlike it’s counterparts it doesn’t force people to pedal it around while putting their legs through a lot of fatigue. A Bosch electric motor is integrated to the rear wheel, plus space for two battery packs inside the frame’s triangle, which according to the manufacturer are capable of speeds of 28 mph (45 kmh) with a range of up to 30 miles per charge (per battery pack). With both battery packs fully charged, the ‘2.0’ can be ridden for up to 60 miles before needing a recharge, with no leg-work necessary. Cruising along at relatively high speeds of course begs the question towards how riders will slow the elegant eBike down. The Chinese company has enhanced the bike’s safety by fixing a set of four caliper brakes, which is two on each wheel.

Great looking e-bike. Wh makes the motor is it a Bosch?
The Munro.2 scooter is a terrible product, I bought it took 5 months for delivery they miss representing product, is terrible slow, can not go up hills, made form very inexpensive products, they never help you with service the steering angle of the wheel turn is terrible the battery looses power easily, if you try to buy products of ask for any solutions they tell you to go where you buy it they do not send it with a manual and when you ask comes in Chinese if you try to get anything as information and explanations is impossible .
The product is as slow moving as a person fast walking the max speed I got was 18 miles/p /hour and down hill max/24 miles/p/hour GOING UP HILL YOU GET 10 TO 12m/P/h it is a worthless piece of junk no one should represent or sell this product until all solutions can be given around the world .
Where can I buy an extra battery for the Munro 2.0 Electric motorbike.
Very cool looking bike and the name is great. Why couldn’t a generator or alternator be added inside of the front wheel hub to charge the batteries while being rode. When the wheel spins the battery gets charged and the range you could ride would increase and the riders and future buyers would increase as well, I know that would be a big selling point for me.
