'Chimera Cycles' unveiled a new e-bike named the 'Chimera BMX.' This e-bike, according to Chimera, boasts the highest power-to-weight ratio of all e-bikes currently on the market. The specifications of the bike back up this claim, with the BMX running on a 5,000-watt motor and weighing only 34 pounds. This results in the Chimera BMX boasting an acceleration speed of 0-30 mph in roughly 4.5 seconds, just shy of the bike's maximum speed of 35 mph. While this is not the concrete limitation of the engine, the bike has been limited to this speed for safety and legality reasons.
The Chimera BMX has a brushed titanium frame, Magura MT5 brakes, and a small front panel with smart connectivity to a companion application. The panel can be used to view important information such as remaining battery life, mileage, and current speed.
