One of the longest range ebikes
The FUELL Flluid is a revolutionary e-bike series designed to combine high performance, style, and sustainability. Created under the guidance of CTO Erik Buell, the Flluid series has made a significant impact in the world of e-bikes. Following the success of Flluid-1 with over 4,000 sales worldwide, FUELL has introduced the next generation of e-bikes: Flluid-2 and Flluid-3.
Flluid-2 is designed for ultra-long range riding with a 2000W battery capacity, offering a range of up to 225 miles (350 km). Flluid-3, on the other hand, has a 1000W battery for a range of up to 110 miles (180 km) and features a step-through design for easy mounting and dismounting.
Both Flluid-2 and Flluid-3 come equipped with the revolutionary automatic shifting Valeo Cyclee Mid Drive Unit, which delivers 130 Nm of torque and allows for smooth, seamless gear changes. They also boast an aerospace aluminum alloy frame, built-in smart security and connectivity systems, and top-quality components such as Roxim Z4E Pro headlights, Pirelli Angel GT Urban tires, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes.
Flluid e-bikes also offer a throttle assist option, allowing riders to enjoy their ride without pedaling up to 20 mph (32 km/h) (limited to 6 km/h in the EU due to legal limitations).
For those looking for increased speed, FUELL offers Class 3 / S-Pedelec versions: Flluid-2S and Flluid-3S, which have a max speed of 28 mph (45 km/h). These versions may require registration, a helmet, and insurance, depending on local laws.
FUELL Flluid e-bikes are designed and assembled in the United States, using quality parts made to last. The company's commitment to quality engineering has been recognized by thousands of customers worldwide who have purchased the first-generation Flluid-1. The Flluid-2 and Flluid-3 models aim to further enhance the urban mobility experience for riders across the globe.
