Acer ebii SmartBike with AI

Acer? The company that makes computers? Yes! They have branched out and now also have an eBike. And not just a simple eBike, but a high-tech eBike with artificial intelligence! It is called the Acer ebii and has a very distinct look.

Whether you like the look or not, the eBike is definitively innovative. Using AI (ebiiAssist), the bike adapts to the user’s preferences and usage over time. Measuring pedal power allows the AI software to optimize the user experience.

Special tires ensure you will never end up with a flat time. Acer also thought of safety. Sensors aid in the prevention of collisions with other objects, while 360-degree lightning (or surround light as Acer calls it) helps with visibility at night.

Using a phone app you can connect to the eBike using Bluetooth. Apart from insightful data about the biking itself, that also offers security and navigation. Finding your bike is easy using the app. Losing it? Not so easy, as the eBike locks itself when your phone is out of reach.

And all that in only 16 kilograms! The range will depend on usage conditions of course (day/night, level of support, etc.). But the claimed range is 110 km (around 70 miles), which is pretty huge for an eBike. Charging the battery (460Wh) only takes 2.5 hours, and fast charging also means you can easily re-charge the battery en route to extend your travel. Since the eBike has a detachable battery, and Acer also makes computers…, you can use the bike’s battery to charge your phone or laptop.

Unfortunately, availability and pricing are as of yet unknown. We don’t expect the Acer ebii to be cheap though, electric bikes are quite costly due to battery cost and general production cost increases.
