With the unveiling of the ebii e-bike today, Acer takes a significant left turn in its product lineup.
The Taiwanese business, best known for its PCs, notebooks, and peripherals, touts ebii as a city bike with AI features that learn riders’ particular preferences and adjust gears based on road conditions.

It weighs approximately 35 pounds, making it lighter than other e-bikes. According to Acer, it has a top assist speed of 20 MPH and a range of slightly under 70 miles on a single charge.
It takes roughly two and a half hours for the bike to achieve full battery life. Acer returns to its roots in this area, as the power brick may also be used as a portable charger for your laptop or phone.
Cyclists must download the ebiiGO app to access battery life information, recommended routes, speed checks, and to lock and unlock the bike.

ebii, on the other hand, will auto-lock whenever the attached phone leaves the immediate area. It also contains an anti-theft alarm. The ebii also has collision detection sensors, lights in all directions, and airless tyres to prevent flats.
Acer has not stated how much the ebii will cost or when it will be available. It’s difficult to make an educated guess because e-bikes range in price from $800 for the Lectric XP Lite to over $10,000 for Audi’s new electric mountain bike.
