Introducing the Allebike Elize Polestar Engineered, a cutting-edge electric mountain bike designed to complement Polestar’s lineup of electric SUVs. Priced at €8,900, this high-end e-bike is exclusively available in Europe.
A Growing Trend: Automakers and Micromobility
It’s increasingly common for automotive giants to collaborate with specialized micromobility companies, aiming to offer lightweight, flexible transport solutions alongside their car models. Polestar is no stranger to this trend, having previously introduced the Makka – Polestar edition by Swedish electric motorcycle maker Cake. Now, Polestar continues this trajectory with the Allebike Elize Polestar Engineered, an electric mountain bike that boasts impressive specifications and sleek design.
Performance and Specifications
The Allebike Elize Polestar Engineered is built for serious performance:
- Full-Suspension System: Features 29-inch wheels with 6.7 inches of travel on the front suspension and 6.3 inches on the rear.
- Advanced Motor: Powered by a Shimano EP8 mid-drive motor, delivering a peak output of 500 watts and torque of 85 Nm (62.7 pound-feet).
- Long-lasting Battery: Equipped with a robust 750-watt-hour battery, enabling the pedal assist to last up to 60 miles on a single charge.
Design and Branding
Though Allebike manufactures the bike, it carries distinctive Polestar branding, featuring the automaker’s official script and gold details that match Polestar’s vehicle aesthetics. The carbon fiber-reinforced polymer frame enhances both durability and light weight, making it a true premium product. Official photos highlight the bike’s compatibility with Polestar vehicles, particularly the Polestar 3 SUV.
Pricing and Availability
The Allebike Elize Polestar Engineered is not just a marvel of engineering but also a design statement, coming with a price tag of €8,900 ($9,900). Currently, this exclusive bike is available for customers in the European Union and Switzerland. Deliveries will be handled directly by Allebike, underlining the niche and tailored experience for consumers.
Past and Future Collaborations
This isn’t Polestar’s first foray into the world of micromobility. In 2021, they launched the Makka – Polestar edition, a small urban electric moped crafted by Cake. The Makka featured a 1.5 kWh battery, a top speed of 28 mph, and premium Öhlins suspension. It was priced at €5,300 during its market stint.
Conclusion
With the launch of the Allebike Elize Polestar Engineered, Polestar cements its role as a pioneer in sustainable transportation, expanding its portfolio to include high-performance electric bicycles. This new addition offers an exciting and practical solution for eco-conscious adventurers in Europe looking to combine luxury and sustainability.
