Rocket

Rocket folding electric bike

Description

The Rocket is a compact folding electric bike with a host of features and accessories. Fitted with a pedal assist sensor and available throttle mode, the Samsung lithium-ion cell battery is concealed in the frame, protected from the weather and the elements. It can be easily removed for charging or storage or charged directly inside the frame. 

It's one of the few folding e-bikes you'll find with full suspension - and this on a 20-inch wheel is appreciated, and the chunky 2.125-inch tires help soak up bumps in the road. Sturdy, rigid magnesium blade-shaped spokes provide style, aerodynamics, stiffness, and avoid the maintenance required by conventional bike spokes, while the smooth ride feel, spring-stiffened seat, and front and rear suspension make the Rocket a joy to ride on the daily commute.

The 8FUN 36v x 250W 45Nm motor integrated into the magnesium rim that powers the Rocket will propel you to top speed like a rocket, its lightweight and small wheel provide unrivaled sensations of acceleration. 

The Samsung battery offers 36 volts of power and various capacity options. In its standard version, it's plenty for such a light electric bike, enough range to cover 45 kilometers at its highest assistance level and up to 65km at its lowest.

The electrical system is connected to the brake levers to disconnect the motor instantly if they are actuated, even slightly, sensors installed as a safety measure to stop the folding rocket in the smallest possible space, SHIMANO M375 disc brakes provide braking power to achieve our goal with firmness and decision. Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes are also available for smooth, powerful and precise braking.

The Rocket's strong skeleton is a lightweight 6061 aluminum frame, Promax handlebars, Zoom front and rear suspension, Shimano Altus 8-speed derailleur, KMC chain, SHIMANO hydraulic brakes, LED lights and many more components complete the Rocket, delivering a very low overall weight including electrics, and can carry a total load of 125 kg. 

The central digital display of the Rocket gives us data concerning the route and allows us to manage the electrical system, informing us of the battery capacity and we can select between the five levels of pedal-assistance, available in 9 and 3 levels, configurable from the display itself. We can turn the LED lights on or off, use its legal accelerator to propel us up to 6 km/h or limit the maximum speed.

The Rocket is undoubtedly a lightweight and very maneuverable electric folding bike, it can be folded with ease thanks to its ingenious locking system that makes it impossible to open without releasing the safety lock, once open we see the ultra-light battery perfectly embedded in the frame, without any possibility of it being able to move. Perfect for transporting the Rocket in the car or motorhome, or other activities where space is limited. For easy transport, the Rocket is equipped with a handle on the underside of the frame, which is visible when folded, so that we can hold the bike more securely. The handle makes it easy to move the bike when it is resting on its two wheels.

The front and rear mudguards will keep you clean and dry and protect the LED headlights from mud and dirt.

The new Rocket model follows in the line of the other models that in Bikelec we mount as the Pocket open frame with 20-inch wheel or the Core with 26-inch wheel, has the powerful 8FUN motor of 36 Volts x 250 Watts, a strong and fast motor which makes accelerating and climbing slopes easier and more fun. As we feel the motor running we will feel the benefits of extra powerful legs that will do all the power for us or share it as we wish at any given moment and so for 50km we discover endless possibilities that we didn't even think of before.

For several reasons, the Rocket is the most popular model in the electric folding bike range among riders. Its double suspension, ideal for the countryside or uneven terrain, its battery is hidden inside the frame, which gives us greater freedom when parking the bike and moving quickly with it and above all for its magnesium rims with the powerful 8fun motor discreetly integrated into the rear wheel, not having steel spokes, the weight is less, it circulates more smoothly making better use of each pedal stroke, but above all, they do not break or get damaged by knocks or misalignment every time we fold or unfold it.
