This may sound strange to Europeans, but US e-bike laws combined with police departments that don’t know the details of e-bike rules usually allow such high-powered electric mopeds to be masqueraded as real electric bicycles. Instead, the pedals offer some minimal support for anyone trying to argue that the moped is actually an electric bicycle. They are functional, but pedalling heavier bikes is no easy task (CTY2 may be north of 90 lb or 41 kg). The CTY2 has pedals but its twist throttle gives “instant torque”.Īs it stands, ONYX’s other electric mopeds retain the pedals as a mostly vestigial feature. Integrated LED Lights – Bike Brake Lights and Halo Running Light and our Signature Headlight with Ultra Bright High Beam.
We moved the speed controller to the bottom of the frame for maximum cooling and airflow performance. We have increased the volume of the battery carriage to accommodate more power and capacity batteries.
The design has been updated in many ways from the original CTY as described by the company: ONYX says the battery is sufficient for a range of 60+ miles (96+ km), although that statistic is calculated at speeds of 20 mph (32 km / h). Now ONYX has announced the return of the low-spec and low-cost Baby Brother Electric Moped on the new ONYX CTY2.ĬTY2’s 60V system has less power than the 72V system on the RCR, though the 23 Ah battery packs in a massive 1,380 Wh. Since then, ONYX has focused solely on RCR to increase sales and improve design over the years, including doubling its original battery size and range. Insiders of the company explained to Electrek that the 30 mph (51 km / h) ONYX CTY has been sold for more than 10: 1 through the high-spec top tank style ONYX RCR, which can reach two-stage speeds through CITY.Įventually, a few dozen CTY’s were produced to meet orders from Indiegogo, and then the model was put on an indefinite hiatus as ONYX advanced at RCR’s native California production. It follows the original ONYX CTY, which was unveiled as part of the Indiegogo campaign, which was originally launched about four years ago by electric moped makers.

If the driver is a dick, just refuse the package and contact the seller.ONYX Motorbikes, a California-based electric moped maker, has unveiled a new step-by-step bike called the ONYX CTY2. Otherwise refuse the shipment or at a minimum inform the driver that you'd like to make a damage claim. If the holes are minor, you can kind of peak into the box and look for damage, but only do this if you're really impatient and need the bike. That happens when they lift/lower their load.
You can recognize forklift holes pretty easily because they usually come in pairs, and will have a sharp side and an accordion shape deformation on the other side.
Holes are commonly caused by forklifts operators who are trying to move a pallet next to your bike, and put the forks in too far, puncturing what's behind their target. That kind of sucks, but you can get an idea of how a box was treated in transit by looking at it. So I was limited to inspecting the box only. My freight carrier delivery guy allowed me to inspect the box, but wouldn't let me open the packaging before I signed for it. I don't own an RCR, but I can tell you what I learned researching online-ordering of ebikes in general.
