Following a crowd-sourcing campaign, American automaker giant General Motors has finalized the brand name for its newly produced electric bicycles: Ariv. These are also now ready for pre-orders through www.BikeExchange.com in select countries in Europe. Shipping will begin in the second quarter of this year. The plan to launch electric bicycles was announced by the company in November of last year.
The bikes will be launched in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, where lithium-ion battery-powered e-bikes are popular. They will be categorized into two models—the Meld, a compact e-bike, and the Merge, a folding e-bike. The motors will enable speeds up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph) with four levels of pedal-assisted power. Riders will need to charge their battery approximately once every 3.5 hours enabling 64km (40 miles) of ride time on a single charge. In Belgium and the Netherlands, the Ariv Meld starts at under $3,200, and the Ariv Merge is around $3,800, but prices will be slightly lower in Germany.
These prices are comparable with other sophisticated e-bikes like VanWoof. Customers should note that with amenities like batteries, Bluetooth, high-tech software, app connection providing riding metrics such as speed, distance, remaining battery level, motor assist level, and distance travelled, it can be hard to find an e-bike at such a competitive price.
The e-bike is GM’s response to sliding vehicle sales indicating changing demand patterns. They are willing to appeal particularly to the transportation needs of the young and urban demographic that favors light electric-powered bikes and scooters than heavy cars.
This move is not unprecedented. BMW is making electric bikes and motorcycles, while Audi manufactures electric mountain bikes. Ford recently acquired e-scooter startup Spin. Even Harley-Davidson has disclosed a lightweight electric two-wheeler concept following a drop-in sales.
