- GMC introduces the Hummer EV All-Wheel Drive Ebike.
- The e-bike has a motor in both the front wheel and the rear wheel.
- As with the S-Pedelec, the top speed is 45 km/h.
If GMC provides a two-wheeled escort vehicle for the mighty Hummer EV electric pick-up, then a compact folding bike is out of the question. As befits its status, the brand’s first bike rolls forward with thick tyres, disc brakes and two extremely powerful Bafang motors.
Each motor has an output of 750 watts and reaches up to 1,200 watts. Means: The e-bike from GMC has a peak output of 2.4 kilowatts. In order to be able to recapture the sheer power, massive, hydraulic disc brakes are available.

The replaceable battery is also generously dimensioned. It has a capacity of one kilowatt hour. The manufacturer has not yet provided any information on the range. You are more willing to provide information about other technical details.
There are three modes in which the e-bike trunk can be moved. In cruise mode, only the rear wheel motor is active; in the so-called track mode, only the front wheel is driven. The four-wheel mode is called “Adrenaline Mode” and unleashes the full power.
