220-mile range, multiple motor options, and incredible customizability
The Eunorau Flash ebike is a moto-inspired electric bicycle and moped hybrid that stands out with its triple-battery configuration, allowing for a remarkable 220-mile range. The bike has launched on Indiegogo to raise production funds and generate interest, offering various configuration options and add-ons.
The Flash comes with three motor options: a 750-W rear-hub motor with 67.8 lb.ft of torque, a 1,500-W all-wheel-drive model with two 750-W hub motors that produce 135.7 lb.ft of torque, and a 1,000-W mid-drive motor with responsive torque sensing, delivering 162 lb.ft of torque.
The default setup includes a single 52-V/16-Ah battery pack under the seat. However, riders can add a 52-V/21-Ah “fuel-tank” pack for double the per-charge range or even an optional third 52-V/17-Ah pack mounted to the downtube. This setup provides a combined total of up to 220 miles of pedal-assist or 110 miles on throttle-only mode.
The Flash's aluminum frame can be configured with a suspension fork only or dual shocks at the back. It accommodates riders between 5.18 and 6.3 ft in height and has a maximum weight capacity of 440 lb. Riders can also add racks/baskets for cargo hauling.
Equipped with 20-inch wheels and CST Scout E-Moped tires, the Flash features four-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180-mm rotors and motor cut-off. The bike has an integrated headlight and tail-light, a padded seat for two, and a full-color mid-handlebar display for ebike status and ride information. A companion mobile app provides additional data.
Indiegogo perks for the Flash Lite model start at $1,499, while the AWD version is $1,699, and the mid-drive ebike is $1,899. All perk levels include a single battery pack, with additional packs and other extras available as options. Shipping is estimated to begin in August, assuming the already-funded campaign goes as planned.
