The electric bike costs $3,999 and has an all wheel hardtail fat tire design. It is equipped with dual Bafang hub motors that offer 750W of continuous power and 1,200W of peak power, resulting in 2.4 kW output. That allows the Hummer e-bike to reach speeds of up to 28 mph or 45 km/h.
There are three different drive modes for the e-bike. The 'cruise mode' only uses the back motor. The 'traction mode' only uses the front motor. And finally, there is the 'adrenaline mode' which uses both motors at once.
To safely bring the e-bike down from high speeds, it is equipped with a pair of four-piston hydraulic disc brakes. When fully charged, the battery will power the motors for up to 1 kWh. The bike's operators can also remove and charge the battery separately from the e-bike.
The bike wasn't actually developed by GMC. The company partnered with an e-bike brand known as Recon Power Bikes.
GMC's marketing director Rich Latek explained:
"GMC is excited to collaborate with Recon as they develop the GMC HUMMER EV AWD Ebike. With design cues and inspiration taken directly from the GMC HUMMER EV Supertruck, this Ebike further expands customer's ability to explore different off-road trails - whether in the vehicle or out on the bike."
Recon's president, Jeff Fuze, added:
"The Recon Team is thrilled to be the officially licensed partner producing the GMC HUMMER EV AWD Ebike. We are honored to partner with GMC on this unique world-class AWD Ebike that parallels HUMMER EV's unrivaled reputation as the leader in EV off-road adventure."
You can now pre-order electric bikes from Recon's website. Hummer will also have the bikes available at its dealerships.
