Zikker eBikes
The E-bikes of today have come a long way since those early
days, with even greater advances in batteries, and the materials
used in the construction that have lightened the weight and
increased efficiency. One of the premier manufacturers of
E-Bikes in the world today is Shenzhen Zikker Technology Co.,
Limited, a firm based in Guangdong, China.

There is a wide range of Zikker E-Bikes to choose from, including
some folding designs for commuters and off road mountain bikes.
However all of the Zikker E-Bikes have some technologies in
common that make them a good choice.
All Zikker E-Bikes are powered by lithium-ion batteries,
which we're all used to seeing now in our laptops and other
mobile devices. The great thing about these energetic batteries
is that their power output to weight ratio is excellent when
compared to other types of battery. They use electrodes of
highly reactive and lightweight lithium and carbon.
Li-ion Sleeps Tonight ...
The other significant advantages to lithium-ion batteries
is that they can really hold onto a charge, only losing an
estimated 5 percent per month when not in use, compared to
a loss of 20 percent in a comparable NiMH battery.
Also unlike other rechargeable batteries a lithium-ion one
does not need to be completely discharged before you recharge
and it can be recharged hundreds of times. All these factors
contribute to an E-bike with a range of up to 40 miles depending
on the individual model chosen and your riding style.
Main Features
1) Unique Design
2) Foldable Frame
3) Samsung Lithium Battery
4) Shimano Gear System
5) EN Certified
6) Kenda Tyre
7) Aluminum Frame and Aluminum Alloy Handle
The lightweight Zikker E-Bike aluminum frames come in a wide
variety of sizes and are made from alloy 6061, which is one
of the most durable heat treated alloys. This alloy has the
characteristics of being light, yet tough, with excellent
resistance to corrosion. In addition this alloy has the added
benefit of being good for finishes, so when it has been anodized
or painted it's very attractive.
Standard and High Standards ...
Also fitted as standard on all Zikker E-Bikes are smooth
Shimano brakes and gear levers, which are well respected on
traditional bicycles as well. The Brushless Geared DC Hub
engines can power the E-Bike up to a comfortable 15 mph depending
on the model, and the Aluminum Crank with Chain Guard is also
fitted as standard. All these features plus the company's
dedication to delivering a great customer service through
excellent quality and favorable pricing make the Zikker E-Bike
a very smart choice.
