If you've been following the eBike industry, you might already know that Forbes recently named Delfast the fastest eBike of 2021. As a proud member of the Delfast team, I’m thrilled to share that our hardworking R&D department has really outdone themselves with this innovation in electric vehicle technology.

What Factors Influence Speed?

The speed of a Delfast eBike comes from a variety of elements, including the throttle, pedal-assist modes, the motor, and the battery. When you use the throttle at full capacity, you can kick back and let the bike do the heavy lifting. Pedal-assist mode takes things further by adding electric power to your pedaling, letting you glide effortlessly even when you're not actively cycling. Depending on the pedal-assist level you select, you can enjoy a smooth ride whether you’re cruising or taking a complete break.

Our Delfast TOP 3.0 model offers three pedal-assist modes: eco, city, and unlimited. Eco mode keeps your speed moderate, relying heavily on your own pedaling. Unlimited mode, on the other hand, essentially turns your eBike into a scooter, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery without exerting much effort. Just remember to stay alert and mindful of your surroundings!

Of course, all this speed requires some serious power. Our 3kW motor is capable of delivering 750W for city rides and can handle up to 3kW in Unlimited mode. Combined with a torque of 182N.m, the Delfast TOP 3.0 is equally adept at zipping through urban areas or tackling rugged trails. But the motor isn’t the only star of the show – we’ve also equipped it with a 3200mAh Li-Ion battery, which provides an impressive range of up to 200 miles on a single charge.

How Fast Can a Delfast eBike Go?

When using pedal-assist in Unlimited mode, Delfast eBikes can reach speeds of up to 50 mph. However, it’s crucial to remember that legality and safety should always come first. While we’re proud to offer such high performance, it’s important to check local laws and regulations regarding maximum speed limits. In most places, riding at top speed is only permitted on private property or off-road. So unless you’re heading to a secluded trail, it’s best to stick to lower speeds for everyone’s safety.

How Far Can a Delfast eBike Travel?

And yes, the battery life is just as impressive as the speed. A fully charged Delfast eBike can cover distances of up to 200 miles before needing another charge. That’s equivalent to traveling from New York to Philadelphia and back again, or driving from San Diego to Los Angeles. The range varies depending on road conditions and your riding habits, so it’s smart to pace yourself within posted speed limits to make the most of each charge.

For those who care about cost-effectiveness, here’s something amazing: the average American drives around 13,500 miles per year. If you replaced that distance with Delfast eBike rides, your annual electricity bill would be a mere $24. Now that’s what I call sustainable savings!

Controlling Your Ride

While it’s awesome to have the ability to go fast, sometimes you just want to take it easy. Whether you’re commuting to work or looking to stay active, Delfast eBikes offer customizable pedal-assist modes to suit your needs. Eco mode is perfect for casual commutes where you’d rather not sweat, while the no-pedal Unlimited mode is ideal for leisurely rides.
