Advancing Transport for the Masses: Stark Drive Redefines Ebike Affordability with an Innovative Folding and Configurable Bike under $300 USD
With the Stark Drive Mini’s low price and high performance, customers previously priced out of the ebike market will now be able to commute in style and comfort. Looking to transcend the current standards of the electric bicycle market, Stark Drive introduces a new level of personal conveyance and convenience on two wheels with their Stark Drive Mini e-bike.
Fresh off the self-crowdfunding success of their first e-bike model, the Stockholm-based Stark Drive is introducing an e-bike that has been designed to provide the most optimal experience for the rider, without an exorbitant price tag. Built to be portable and highly customizable, the Stark Drive Mini e-bike aims to provide you with everything that you desire for your commute and everyday use. The Stark Drive Mini can easily be folded after you’ve arrived at your destination and carried into the office or classroom. It weighs 13 kg (29 pounds). The Stark Drive is also compact enough to be taken on a plane (adhering to FAA & TSA guidelines), giving you increased mobility wherever your travels take you.
Stark Drive’s CEO and Founder, Oscar Stark’s goal is to provide performance in an e-bike that is affordable to the everyday commuter, rather than a select few. Stark says:
“The Stark Drive Mini is the ultimate city commuter which takes you from point A to point B in style and comfort, with its long battery life allowing for unlimited stops in between if you wish. It is the first e-bike that can be brought on a plane, making your travel experience more convenient and less reliant on other means of transportation.”
The team at Stark Drive realizes that for a lot of people, their bike will be the first electric vehicle they will most likely try, and they aim to ensure that it is the best experience they could have. They want to push the boundaries of what is cost-effective and achievable in ebike manufacturing, and their bikes have been built to help you get the most out of your ride through the city. The basic model of the Stark Drive Mini has a range of 14 km (8.7 miles) on pure electric mode and can cover 40 km (25 miles) with pedal assist. The Stark Drive Mini is en15194 EU certified and will be available for the historic starting price of $299 USD.
