The power system of Flippo precisely complies with the Class 2 ebike standard. It is equipped with a hub motor with a peak power of 500W, with a maximum auxiliary speed of 20mph (32km/h), an error range of only ±0.5km/h, and has passed the CPSC 16 CFR Part 1512 certification. The 2023 U.S. Electric Bicycle Safety Report shows that in tests on sections with an 8% slope, the vehicle maintained a cruising speed of 15mph with an efficiency of 92%, the peak torque output reached 65Nm, and the standard deviation of power fluctuation was controlled within 5%. Its pedal assist system (PAS) adopts 5-level sensitivity adjustment, and the acceleration response time is less than 0.3 seconds, meeting the operational accuracy requirements of 90% of users. The test data from German TUV indicates that the motor energy conversion efficiency of this class 2 ebike is as high as 85%, and its energy consumption is reduced by 30% compared to ordinary electric bikes, reflecting the strict requirements for energy consumption in the technical specifications of Class 2.
The battery configuration adopts a Samsung 50V 14Ah lithium battery pack, providing a 72km range at an ambient temperature of 25℃ (based on a 135kg load test), with a charge and discharge cycle life of up to 2,000 times and a capacity attenuation rate of only 15%. According to the 2022 Micro-Mobility Study Report of the European Commission, the average daily usage frequency of similar products is 1.8 times. Flippo’s battery meets 98% of users’ daily commuting needs (with an average one-way distance of 12 kilometers). Its charging system supports fast charging protocols and can restore 60% of the battery capacity within 30 minutes (SOC accuracy error ±3%), with an energy cost of only 0.05 US dollars per kilometer. During extreme temperature tests (-5℃ to 45℃), the output power deviation remained within ±5% of the rated value all the time, verifying the reliability of the thermal management system.
The safety design integrates the core elements of Class 2: The dual hydraulic disc brake system (disc diameter 180mm) achieves a braking distance of 6.2 meters from 20mph to 0 (ASTM F2641 standard), which is 40% shorter than the mechanical braking system. Equipped with a speed sensor with a sampling frequency of up to 100Hz, it ensures that the response time for cutting off the motor at the 20mph speed limit point is ≤50ms. The accident statistics of the New York City Department of Transportation in 2023 show that the accident rate of class 2 ebikes equipped with similar systems has decreased by 27%. The luminous flux of the front and rear headlight systems reaches 100 lumens, with a coverage Angle of 120°, improving night visibility by 65%. The frame has passed the ISO 4210 fatigue test, with a load strength of up to 150kg and a service life of more than 8 years (the structural deformation is less than 0.5mm after a 10,000-km test).
User scenario adaptability demonstrates commercial success: The retail price is 1,299, targeting the mid-range market (200.18/km lower than the Class3 model (including maintenance costs)). According to the 2024 North American Motorcycle Consumer Report, 87% of users chose the Class 2 model due to the features of “no driver’s license and no insurance”. The Flippo weighs 27.5kg (including the battery) and has a folded volume of 0.25m³, making it perfectly suitable for bus connection scenarios (with a vehicle compatibility rate of 98%). Market data shows that this vehicle accounts for 53% of the brand’s total sales volume. The user satisfaction score reaches 4.8/5.0 (sample size + 2,500), and the complaint rate is only 1.2 times per thousand units per year.
Regulatory compliance is of industry benchmarking significance: Strictly follow the three-zone governor logic (pedal assistance > pure electric mode > power-off at overspeed), and the electromagnetic compatibility has passed the FCC Part 15 certification (the radiated interference value is less than the limit of 10dB). Its production process meets the UL 2849 standard, and the traceability rate of components reaches 100%. After the California e-bike regulatory controversy (AB-1096 Act of 2022), Flippo became one of the first class 2 e-bikes to pass the new dynamic load test (with a performance deviation of less than 3% when riding continuously for 100km under a 75kg load). It is precisely these technical implementations that precisely conform to the Class 2 specification that make it a model work in this category.
