Alrendo has launched the TS Bravo, an electric bike which rivals the best the non-combustion scene has for range.
Yes, another electric bike. Yes, it’s another one from China. But, even outside of the fact that this bike is new, the Alrendo TS Bravo is newsworthy.
Mostly, that is because the engineers at Alrendo have managed to squeeze a range of 438km out of a battery with 17.4kWh and in a bike which weighs 245kg. At least, that is what it can do at city speeds. On the highway, Alrendo says the TS Bravo can make 160km (100 miles), or 278km (173 miles) of combined city-highway riding.
Mechanically, the TS Bravo features dual 300mm discs at the front with four-piston callipers, and a single, 240mm disc at the rear; while the suspension is adjustable at both the front and rear. Regarding tyres, there is a 120/70-17 at the front, and a 180/55-17 at the rear.
The TS Bravo has a ride height of 150mm, with dimensions of 2300mm x 885mm x 1185mm, and a seat height of 760mm.
According to Moto-Station, Alrendo imports to Europe via the Czech Republic. For Europe, the bike is tuned to produce 11kW (although the motor has a maximum output of 58kW), which means it fits into the 125cc category, and the torque is set at 54Nm (down from the maximum of 117.4Nm). When it arrives in Europe, the TS Bravo costs €11,200 without government grants.
Alrendo also has the TS Alpha on the way, which will presumably be a bike based on the architecture of the TS Bravo, but with higher performance.
