BMW Cruise e-Bike 2014 is a “pedelec,” suggesting that, as you pedal, the Bosch electric motor also puts out 48 Newton meters of torque (35.4 pound-feet) to help you along. The added momentum comes with any tiny amount of action. This is a BMW — good to remember if you are leaving a position of inactivity. Once you start any push towards movement again, equip yourself for a quick engagement with accelerated spring.

BMWs have a distinguished style, from their classics to the Mini Cooper. This latest BMW e-bike shares this special style. This top-of-the-line choice has the BMW logo showing from the head of the front fork. The logo is also on the supplemental bike lock.

Bosch makes the 400-Wh battery that BMW claims is good for “around 100 km” (62 miles). This is enough for your day-to-day business. Recharging fully takes 3 1/2 hours. It takes a key to unlock and remove the battery from the frame.

There is not matching the mobility of bikes in dense metropolitan areas (much better than cars). Surely you have you “eternally” sat in traffic, not moving for long enough that you grasp you could walk the distance swifter than drive, gazing out the window as bicyclists weave in and out going promptly to their destination.
