Biktrix unveils new model - will be at Everything Electric 2024 (formerly "Fully Charged)

After a groundbreaking year of innovation and engineering mastery, Biktrix once again unleashes a model worthy of closer inspection.  The first thing that struck me was the looks; it is a bike I would be happy to be seen in.  After all, a bicycle is a fashion statement to some degree.  

 

We are geeks though.  This model will satisfy some very serious criteria for our needs.  The Biktrix Juggernaut features on-demand throttle (check) and pedal assist (check), a stock battery boasting a 52V 25Ah capacity (check) with a range extender option (check), and premium suspension options for every version.  It also features modern geometry and advanced suspension kinematics for an unparalleled ride.

Power (also a box to check)?  It has 220Nm of torque with an advanced Torque+Cadence sensor for responsive, exhilarating power.  Compare this to the Bafang 500W motor with 87Nm of torque.  There is no shortage of hill climbing capability except the rider's choice of line and traction.  220Nm could spin around to lift a bike and rider vertically upwards with the right gearing.

We are hoping this will be at the Electric Everything 2024 LIVE event (formerly "Fully Charged") in Vancouver September 6-8, 2024.  They will be at booth B260 and you can test ride their eBikes on the Micromobility test track.

Also note that Biktrix is making an unparalleled offer to attendees of this year's show - they are raffling off not one, but THREE eBike packages with complete bikes and an accessory package to show attendees, one per day!  You need to be there to enter though, so get your tickets early.

Fossil Fuel Subsidies rise to over $7 Billion; Why Fully Charged LIVE is Important!

• As reported by OilPrice.com, BP's CEO Bernard Looney and even the most pro-transition governments believe investing in immediate energy needs, like oil and gas, is essential, leading to record subsidies in 2022.  This is WRONG from a perspective of saving our planet, but understandable?  Why?  Even the local government here in British Columbia makes a ton of revenue from Fossil Fuel taxes.   Oh, you didn't know that? Understandable as it is well hidden. The taxes at the pump do fund many good things, but in the long run, they hurt us.
  
  
• A recent IMF report indicates that the majority of the $7 trillion in subsidies is "undercharging for global warming and local air pollution," while climate think tank IISD criticizes the G20 for record-breaking state support for the fossil fuel industry.
  
  
• The IMF also suggests that full fossil fuel price reform could reduce global CO2 emissions significantly but faces challenges from governments wary of public backlash due to increased living costs. We need to revise what we are doing here ASAP!

  If you want to do something about this, join me at Fully Charged LIVE in Vancouver, September 8-10, 2023 and join the conversation to move to electrify everything.  We do not need fossil fuels as much as we think we do. We need to transition now. Yes, in the sort term, they are a low cost way to get stuff done, but in the long term, the costs will be mind-blowingly more expensive.
  
  I am not being sensationalist. Some outlets report that global fossil fuel subsidies are as much as $450 Billion annually!  This is outrageous given climate change costs are far higher.  Many leading organizations are now claiming that fossil fuel burning contributes to global annual costs that far outweigh the benefits.
  
  If you want to help, come to Fully Charged LIVE Sep 8-10 in Vancouver. Join us in a conversation to end this madness.
