Aside from new products under its Predator line and an all-new Swift 16 X laptop, Acer is expanding the products that it has to offer beyond computers. The eKinekt stationary bicycle/work desk is one of them, and Acer adds another unique offering with its own e-bike called the ebii.
Acer describes the ebii as a smart e-bike, with features that include advanced anti-theft protection and up to 110km range–which is longer than most e-scooters in the market.
The ebii has an aluminum frame that weighs 16kg, and offers up to a 25km/h top speed with its 250w hub motor. Acer claims that the ebii is suitable for people who are between 1.45m and 1.85m tall with its height-adjustable seat and handlebars. The Air Form tires that it uses is claimed to prevent the ebii from running flat.
Being a smart e-bike, the ebii has a smart ebiiAssist companion app that adapts to the rider’s pedaling power, riding conditions, and preferred level of assistance. By having those details, Acer claims that the ebii can offer a personalized experience based on the user’s biking habits.
Other features of the ebii include lighting on all sides, an ambient light sensor, a GPS module for its theft protection feature, and a Bluetooth chip that can lock the bike if it detects that the paired smartphone is no longer nearby. Despite being a bike, it does have collision detection to prevent you from accidents.
Acer is asking 1999 Euros(~Php 124k) for the ebii, which is a rather steep price for an e-bike–but maybe Acer has a market for it. It will be available in Europe this September, and there are no details if the ebii will be available in other countries.
