If you thought off-road mountain biking was fun, why not try the battery-assisted version. Yep, that would be electric bike off-roading, with big ol’ fat tires, courtesy of Fortune Hanebrink, a small bike maker based outta LA. For this week’s episode of GigaOM TV’s Green Overdrive show we go EV off-roading with Kane Fortune, President of Fortune Hanebrink, and one bad-@ass EV off-roader. Check out the video below!
Originally designed as a bike that could ride across the icy Antarctic snow, the Hanebrink all-terrain vehicle has the widest tires in the industry — at least the widest we’ve ever seen. The Fortune Hanebrink crew later added on an on-demand electric system, a 600-watt motor and a battery that turned the vehicle into the first off-road electric bike, with a speed up to 20 mph. For this week’s episode of GigaOM TV’s Green Overdrive show, we go electric off-roading with President Kane Fortune.
