Equipped with an LCD display, the OtoR model has a Brooks saddle and a 750w motor giving you speeds all the way up to 34 mph.

A Combination Of Retro And Electric

As electric bicycles pave the way to be the largest electric vehicle segments in the world, the Oto Cycle stands out with its combination of unique variants and designs. The bikes are lightweight and provide about 26 miles of pedal-free riding.

Technical Features

The Oto Cycle is made up on lightweight steel and powered by a rear hub motor working on a 36-volt NCM battery. Two design models are available for the bikes – the Otok and Otor. The LCD screen is mounted on the handlebars draws power from the pedals. Here, you can see important navigational information, as a headlight in front of it illuminates your path.

Battery life

Once you reach the 26 miles mark, the battery of your Oto Cycle will require recharging. This only happens if you’ve been riding at a constant speed of 15.5 mph all along, after which you can simply pedal along to about 17 miles.

Designers Of Oto Cycle

Oto Cycle was designed by a family of designers and engineers from Barcelona in Spain. It has simple mechanics and a classic look, and the price is quite worth it too. The models start at $3,700, which is way lesser than a new car in the U.S.
