Audi, a German automotive company and Fantic, an Italian motorbike company, have partnered to make a new electric mountain bike with four levels of electric assistance.
The electric bicycle, inspired by Audi’s RS Q e-tron Dakar racer has a 36-Volt Fantic Integra battery pack and a 90Nm torque motor. It also comes with a lightweight aluminium frame that is made to be efficient on rough terrain, while its speed and battery life are shown on a digital display on the handlebars.
Four levels of electric assistance innovation in the electric two-wheelers include Eco, which is the most efficient; Tour, which gives a small boost; Sport, which gives a bigger boost for sport cycling; and Boost, which is the most powerful level, designed for routes with hills.

The Audi RS Q e-tron Dakar racer costs $10,131 USD (£8,499 GBP) and can be bought online. It comes in three sizes and costs $10,131 USD (£8,499 GBP).
