Hasta La Gadget!

Want to go fast and not pedal too hard? Want to leave fixie mounted hipsters in your dust at stoplights? Want to ride what’s essentially an electric moped? If you’ve got a spare $9,000 to spare — and really who doesn’t — you can pick up an Optibike to cart your posterior about town in style.

This electric assist 2-wheeler is assembled with an 800-watt motor, Fox shocks, 9-speed drive train shifters, and a healthy dose of pure awesomeness. Watch as we take the bike into traffic, punch each other in the head, and endo over handlebars (dramatization, may not have happened.) And yes, Steven and I do all of our own stunts. That’s why we wear protection!
