Mokwheel power station eBikes can charge your devices
With hurricane season officially upon us, one question on the mind of many a Floridian is how to deal when the power goes out. Mokwheel power station eBikes might be able to help when the lights to go out.
Not only can Mokwheel eBikes recharge using solar electricity, which is helpful when the power is out, they can also charge your devices using an onboard battery via a 1000-watt sine wave inverter.
According to Mokwheel, the bike’s battery can power a 60-watt TV for 13 hours, a 900-watt electric grill for 45 minutes and can charge an iPhone 100 times and laptop 7 times via the optional inverter. The inverter includes 2 USB-C ports, a USB-A port, and two standard AC outlets.
The optional foldable solar panels produce 230 watts and can fully recharge the bike’s battery in 4 or 5 hours of direct sun. The solar panels can also directly charge mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets.
Mokwheel has three models of “power station e-bikes” that can be paired with the optional solar panels and inverter.
The Basalt is an all-terrain bike that rolls on 26″ wheels with four-inch fat-bike tires. It weighs 79 pounds and has an electric range of 60-80 miles. It has a 750-watt electric motor powered by a Samsung lithium ion 48v battery. Shifting is accomplished by a 1×7 speed Shimano drivetrain. Stopping is courtesy of hydraulic disc brakes. The basalt has a rear rack and can carry up to 400 pounds. It retails for $1,990 without the solar panels and inverter.
There is also a step-thru version of the Basalt, which offers the same specs, but without the top bar.
The Scoria is Mokwheel’s 20-inch wheel Power Station eBike. It features most of the same specs as the Basalt models, but comes with four-inch tires, a step-through frame and a wooden rear rack. The Scoria can accommodate riders from 4’8″ to 6’0″ in height and weighs 79 pounds. It also retails for $1,990.
