Biking is fast gaining popularity among urbanites. Not only is it a great way to exercise and stay fit, you will also be doing your bit to help save the environment by reducing the number of cars on the road. Many have also started commuting daily to work on a bike. However, depending on the location of your workplace and your fitness level, this might not be a feasible option. This is where an electric bike come in.

By providing a little extra boost to your pedaling power, an electric bike can increase your biking distance and help flatten out strenuous hill climbs. After all, who wants to arrive at the office all hot and sweaty? Electric bikes are still quite new and can cost quite a bit. Furthermore, if you already own a bike, forking out more for yet another bike seems wasteful. However, with the UrbanX electric wheel, almost any standard pedal bike can be turned into an electric bike in just 60 seconds and at a fraction of the cost.

The UrbanX conversion kit comes with everything that you need to convert your current bike into an electric bike. All you have to do is remove your bike’s existing front wheel and replace it with the UrbanX electric wheel. It comes with a thumb throttle gadget that you can mount to the handlebar. It lets you switch between cycling modes and as an indicator to the battery level. There is also a free app on both iOS and Android that controls the pedal assist mode. The detachable battery provides a 30 mile range with a 20 mph top speed.

Pedal assist lets you decide how much pedaling assistance that you want from UrbanX. A high level of assistance means that it is easier for you but it also drains out the battery faster. There are three levels of assistance that you can choose from. The lowest level requires more pedaling from you but it also means the battery lasts longer and you can ride further. The kit comes with a phone mount so that you can select the pedal assist mode on the fly. Last but not least, the phone mount also connects to the UrbanX’s rechargeable battery and can be used to recharge your phone as you cycle.
