Gepida Reptila: Amazing New Electric Bike

What do balmy mid-February days and elegant, electric-powered bicycles made in Budapest, Hungary have in common? They are both foreign but very welcome.

The two came together on a lovely false spring day last week when Harrison took the new Gepida Reptila 1100 on a test spin through Central Park. The hydroformed alloy cruiser frame rode just like a regular bike – light and maneuverable – while the efficient 250w motor certainly made the climb on the back side of the park a lot easier.

The most impressive thing about the Gepida Reptila electric bike, however, was its range (not a tick lost on the battery indicator on this ride). With two twin 6ah batteries the Gepida Reptila can go an almost unheard of 70 miles!

Check out Harrison’s full review of the tough, sturdy, everyday Gepida electric bike.
