MUJI and Honda release the MS 01, an everyday urban electric bike for under $800
The Honda MS01 e-bike does not stand out with any high-tech features. But it is compact and has a power reserve of about 65 km, which may be quite enough for commuting or walking around the city.
The MS01 is a joint development between retailer MUJI and auto/moto manufacturer Honda. The bike is available in black and white, with 17-inch wheels, an LCD instrument panel, and LED headlight and taillight.
The electric bike is equipped with a 48V 20Ah lithium battery and a 400W motor. The maximum speed of the MS01 does not exceed 25 km/h. If there is a steep climb ahead or the battery is dead, you don’t have to push the MS01 like an electric scooter, since it also comes with pedals.

A total of 5,000 copies of the MS01 will be produced for the Chinese market at a cost of 4,980 yuan (about $744). Sales in other countries have not yet been announced.
