2012 Crosstown Bike by Montague

2012 Crosstown Bike

$699.00

The 2012 Crosstown is  an easy to use folding bike offering 7-speeds, 700c tires, and the CLIX™ Wheel Release System.  It also features a new invention called the Octagon, a stem that is height-adjustable with just a simple click of a button.  This allows the rider to have the handlebars at whatever height feels comfortable.  This hybrid commuter comes in 17”, 19”, and 21” frame sizes and offers portability as integration of the patented CLIX System allows the Crosstown to be folded in under 20 seconds without the use of tools. A flip of the CLIX quick release lever on the top tube and the folding bike morphs to a compact size.

The Crosstown frame is designed around a patented folding system. This design eliminates the need to break the frame in order to fold the bike.  The Folding Integrated Technology (F.I.T.) is based around frame construction concepts designed for serious full suspension downhill bikes.
The Octagon offers all the benefits of an angle adjustable stem without shortening “reach” when raised. This unique design allows for handlebar height to be changed while preserving the way the bike handles and rides. Also, with the octagonal shape of the post, steering remains engaged while raising or lowering the stem.

Mission One Electric Bike by Mission Motors

MISSION ONE ELECTRIC BIKE

Designed by FuseProject for Mission Motors, the Mission One Premier Limited Edition (PLE) is the fist electric superbike able to power wheelies at 70mph (112km/h).

The challenge was to create a design that would be accepted by motorcycle enthusiasts while also being immediately recognizable as a vehicle fueled by alternative energy. Ultimately, the bike needed to balance innovation with tradition, overcome the stigma of a silent ride and define what an electric Bike should look like.

Powered by 100kW (136 horsepower) AC Induction motor that peaks 120 ft/lbs of torque,  Mission One tops its speed at 161 mph (259km/h) and takes  2 hours charge on 240-volt outlets for 150-mile range.

With a fully equipped data acquisition system and wireless communication capability, the rider captures real time ride data to adjust throttle maps, tune regenerative braking and ride settings, all from a laptop computer.
It features a fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, Marchesini wheels  and a battery pack  enclosed in a lightweight steel trellis structure, covered by honeycomb textured skins

There is literally nothing on the street with a sparkplug to light the fire that will out-accelerate the Mission One…”– Alan Cathcart, motorcycle journalist
