If you are one of those ‘doomsday preppers’, then the 2×2 Ultra Bike is what you need to get you going.

  • features 2WD function and a maximum range of 65km.
  • the Ultra Bike can float on water.

The Ultra Bike is a subject of a crowdfunding effort on Indigogo developed by a US-based Robo System and features a two-wheel drive.

Not only that, but the Ultra Bike can also float on water.

The Ultra Bike boast a pair of small, hub-mounted electric motors powered b a central battery pack. The hub motors ensure that complex transmission is not needed to engage the 2WD.

Robo System claimed that the Ultra Bike could get you up to 65km range thanks to the 48v, 35Ah battery pack, while the top speed is maxed out at 50km/h.

If you plan to explore outside your doomsday vault, the Ultra Bike can carry an extra 5L of fuel at the tail, and the wheels can be used as a water/fuel tank.

The bike can also be equipped with a removable 800-watt generator that could help recharge the battery if the bike runs dry in the wild.

According to reports, the Ultra Bike weighs just 55kg (dry), making it the perfect companion to overcome obstacles easily. The wheels also act as an ideal buoyant to cross rivers, and side floats can be added to keep the bike upright, with the wheels acting as paddles.

The Ultra Bike is available for just GBP1,790 (RM9.7k).

The all-electric and two-wheel-drive (2WD) Robo Systems Ultra Bike is built to go off-road, traverse boulders, and wade into water.

SURU Inc. introduced the world’s first scrambler e-bike.

SURU Inc. builds their bikes in Canada to ensure high quality. However, their key technological partner is a Malaysian tech firm called Ezee Kinetic. Ezee Kinetic is based just outside Kuala Lumpur. As such, the components used to make SURU bikes originate from Malaysia.

The SURU Scrambler is based on the SURU One Fifty, which is regarded as the “Honda Super Cub of e-bikes.” The Scrambler expands upon the One Fifty’s strengths and innovations to turn it into a practical town and country mobility vehicle.

The team behind the SURU Scrambler is the same folks who created the Amarok P1 electric motorcycle. Among them is the award-winning designer Michael Uhlarik.

“Many people love the look and feel of a café racer and dirt track style motorcycle,” observed Uhlarik. “But getting into motorcycling can be intimidating. The e-bike offers the ideal platform for all kinds of people to dive into the fun of the custom motorcycle experience without fear or high cost.”

Therefore, the SURU Scrambler seeks to open up the two-wheeled experience to a wider, younger audience.

SURU’s philosophy is to integrate motorcycle-grade engineering into lightweight and elegant e-bike designs. The SURU aluminium monocoque features a removable and lockable battery. The power electronics are contained inside the monocoque, protecting it from the weather and theft.

The frame is offered in 6 graphic designs. However, the owner can customize it.

All SURU bikes are street legal. Top speed is 32 km/h. Range is up to 70 km using the battery with the throttle only. The user may choose to pedal, if he so wishes. It takes 3.5 to fully recharge through a household electrical outlet.
