the Terminus hybrid electric bike, by M55

The work of a team of about 30 specialists in engineering, industrial design, and optimization, M55's "Terminus" electric bike is a luxury hybrid electric bike, designed for intensive off-road use. The vehicle can obtain speeds of 40 to 67 Km/h, and a single charge provides over 100 Km of power in normal use. A sensor monitored drive system in the hybrid bicycle, automatically optimizes the power input of the motor relative to the rider. The motor itself does not drive the pedals, but rather the system will engage when sensors register that the user requires additional torque.

Current technological limitations put the lifespan of most e-bikes at about two years, with batteries that last only 500-700 charges, but those powering the electric motor of the M55 are guaranteed less than a 9% performance loss over 1000 charge cycles. In their own words : " most e-bikes are rather primitive machines, comprising no more than a hub motor and a frame-mounted battery cell. The development of these power-assisted models has focused on their functionality rather than on design, maximum range or maneuverability. As a result, they offer a little of everything without truly fulfilling any specific requirement. For the most part, they do what they were designed to do – taking their riders from A to B – which is fine for some, but not for others".

To increase range and performance, M55 developed brushless electric motors driven by super-efficient batteries that deliver raw power and unbeatable endurance. The M55 Terminus is powered by eight battery cells ingeniously built into the bike’s self-supporting frame. The cells outperform any comparable e-bike technology currently available and are made to last – the M55’s motor draws only 60A at full power and our specialist manufacturer guarantees over 90% of ‘as new’ performance even after 1,000 charge and discharge cycles. All this from a battery pack that charges to 80% of its capacity in just one hour –saving you time while conserving precious energy.



Hi-tech materials and engineering for the ultimate in agility, Titanium, carbon fibre and CNC-machined aluminium give our machines the strength to tackle the toughest terrain. And they’ve taken suspension and braking technologies from F1 racing to produce the ultimate in ride quality and off-road safety. The M55 Terminus is a hybrid electric bike with exceptional performance and stunning aesthetics. The motor power and battery capacity is well over the industry standard and a truly futuristic look will sure attract some eyeballs around you. The Terminus is the ultimate trail-machine who appreciate the best available.
