With a motor that you operate with a pedal-assist drive and which the rider activates by carrying out three backpedal revolutions after getting speed up to 5 mph. Once you’ve done this, the motor will then adjust the amount of assistance based on the rider input and will also close itself down automatically after two minutes of inactivity. The Hummingbird Prodrive Electric Bike boasts a top speed of 15.5 mph (25 km/h) and delivers just under 19 miles (30 km) of electric-assisted range. And perhaps best of all, the battery will be fully charged in just two and a half hours.
