Did you hear the news? Forbes recently named Delfast as the Fastest eBike of 2021! We're thrilled to have developed what many consider the fastest eBike available today, and we owe this achievement largely to our exceptional Research & Development team. Their groundbreaking work in electric vehicle (EV) technology has truly set us apart. In this article, we'll dive into what makes Delfast's eBikes so speedy and explore how you can make the most of this impressive performance.

What Factors Influence Speed?

The speed of a Delfast eBike is the result of several key components working together: the throttle, pedal-assist modes, motor, and battery. By fully engaging the throttle, you can give your legs a break while letting the bike handle the heavy lifting. Pedal-assist modes add an extra layer of convenience by giving you electric assistance while you pedal. Depending on the level of pedal-assist you select—eco, city, or unlimited—you can enjoy a smooth ride with minimal effort or even coast along without pedaling at all.

TOP 3.0, our flagship model, offers three distinct pedal-assist levels. Eco mode allows you to maintain a comfortable pace based on your own pedaling, while unlimited mode transforms your eBike into something closer to a scooter, perfect for when you just want to sit back and enjoy the scenery—or stay alert while navigating the road. Of course, this kind of power doesn't come from thin air. The TOP 3.0 boasts a powerful 3kW motor capable of handling both urban commutes on 750W settings and rugged off-road adventures in Unlimited mode. Its impressive torque of 182N.m ensures that you can handle anything from city streets to rough terrain with ease. But the motor isn’t the only star here—our 3200mAh Li-Ion battery plays a crucial role too, providing an outstanding range on a single charge.

How Fast Can a Delfast eBike Go?

With pedal assist engaged and in Unlimited mode, Delfast eBikes can reach speeds of up to 50 mph! However, it’s important to remember that safety and legality should always come first. While our bikes are undeniably fast, it’s essential to ensure that riding at high speeds is both safe and compliant with local laws. For instance, driving at full speed is only permitted on private roads or off-grid areas. So, unless you're in a controlled environment, it's best to stick to posted speed limits and enjoy the ride responsibly.

How Far Can a Delfast eBike Travel?

But wait, there’s more! Not only can Delfast eBikes achieve top speeds, but they also boast an extraordinary battery life. A single charge can take you up to 200 miles—a distance equivalent to traveling from New York to Philadelphia and back! Or, if you prefer, you could ride from San Diego to Los Angeles. That’s quite a journey for an eBike. Of course, your actual range may vary depending on road conditions, terrain, and your riding habits. For example, increasing your speed will naturally drain the battery faster. To get the most out of your ride, we recommend staying within posted speed limits to maximize your distance.

Here’s another fun fact: the average American drives around 13,500 miles per year. If you were to cover that same distance using a Delfast eBike instead of a car, your annual energy cost would be a mere $24 based on current electricity rates. That’s an incredibly efficient way to travel!

Customizing Your Ride

Of course, not everyone wants to ride at top speed all the time. Sometimes you might prefer a more relaxed pace, especially during your daily commute. Eco mode is perfect for those who want a gentle ride without breaking a sweat. If fitness is your goal, you can opt for no pedal assist at all and enjoy a great workout. Our intuitive LED display helps you monitor your speed, battery life, and overall performance, ensuring that you’re always in control. Whether you're looking for speed or sustainability, Delfast eBikes offer the flexibility to suit your needs.
