The Type 136: Lotus's New Electric Bike
A Lightweight and Stylish Ride
The bike scene is buzzing about Lotus’s new electric bike, the Type 136. It’s inspired by the speedy bikes used by Olympic cyclists, and it’s as easy on the eyes as it is lightweight. Picture a bike that looks fast even when it’s parked—that’s the Type 136 for you.
The HPS Watt Assist Pro Motor
The real magic of this bike is how light it feels. Thanks to the HPS Watt Assist Pro motor, one of the lightest out there, it helps you zoom up hills with less effort. It feels just like riding a regular bike, but with a hidden boost of power.
Smart Features and Quality Construction
Even the battery is cleverly disguised as a water bottle, so you can snap it out and charge it without any fuss. For those who love gadgets, the bike can connect with your bike computer to show how you’re doing and help you train smarter.
Every part of the Type 136 screams quality, from the brainy gear system to the durable wheels and the professional-grade tires. The bike’s heart, a carbon frame made by hand in Italy, helps keep it super light—at just 9.8 kilograms, it’s one of the lightest electric bikes you can find.
A Pricey Ride for Bike Enthusiasts
All this tech and design come with a big price tag, though. The first 136 special bikes are going for 25,000 euros each. It’s a pretty penny, but for bike lovers who want the latest and greatest, the Type 136 offers a mix of style, technology, and top-notch performance that’s hard to match.
