Frequently Asked Questions
Is 33 pounds really that light for a performance e-bike?
Yes. The average performance e-bike with comparable range weighs 55 to 75 lbs. At 33 lbs, the 33C3 is lighter than most traditional road bikes, without sacrificing motor power or battery capacity.
Is the 100-mile range realistic?
It's our tested range at 20 mph cruising speed in Southern California conditions. At higher speeds or hillier terrain, expect 60 to 80 miles. At lower speeds or flatter terrain, you may exceed 100. We don't inflate it.
Can I ride this on bike lanes in California?
Yes. The 33C3 operates as a Class 3 e-bike (28 mph, pedal-assist) under US federal specification. It's legal on bike lanes, multi-use paths, and roads in all 50 states where Class 3 e-bikes are permitted. Check your local regulations for specific path access.
How does it charge?
Standard 120V US outlet, same plug as your phone charger. 4 to 5 hours to full charge. No special installation, no dedicated outlet, no electrician required.
What's the Founders Edition?
The first 25 units available at $2,499, which is $300 off the launch price. Each Founders unit ships with a serial-numbered plate and a personal video email from the engineer. Once 25 units are sold, the price moves to $2,799.
Do I have to assemble it?
