It takes 15 seconds The Wildfire 20-inch bike can be ridden like a conventional bicycle, or flip the switch on the handlebar to the "assist" mode and the bike's electric motor kicks in to help propel it while you pedal. The electric power comes from a lithium ion battery mounted in the frame beneath the seat. The battery can be recharged up to 2,000 times and powers the bike in the assist mode for up to 50 miles between charges or 30 miles into auto mode. |
