FAQ: The Stuff You Want To Know

Everyday fine people want to know more about the best retro-style electric bikes on the market. And these are some of the questions they ask most: 

How fast do they go? 

- All our bikes have LGL mode which restricts them to 25kmh / 15.5mph top speed for road use.

For off road use our ebikes vary depending on the model from 27mph to 38mph.

Specifically, the Cooler Kub 250S has a top speed of 43kmh / 27mph, the Cooler Kub 750S has a 40kmh / 28mph top speed. The Cooler Kub 1500S is our fastest Cooler Kub yet at 56kmh / 35mph+ top speed and the mighty new Cooler King 1500S range hits 61kmh /  38mph.

What range do they have?

- With one battery all our bikes have a minimum range of 40km/25 miles. With the dual battery option, doubling your range to 128km/80 miles. 

Are they road legal?

- The Cooler Kub 250S is road legal when ridden in LGL mode in the UK and EU. The 750S and 1500S models are not to be used on public roads, cycle paths or pavements. Only on private land with the landowner's consent, in accordance with UK/EU law.

The 750S and 1500S models are road legal in the US.

Outside of these territories check your local regulations to see which model is right for you.

How long do your ebikes take to charge?

- Around 2 to 3 hours to fully charge, once fully charged the intelligent charger will turn itself off. We recommend never letting your battery fully deplete to preserve its lifespan.

Do you have to pedal?

It’s up to you! Our bikes have 5 pedal assist settings so you can choose how much the motor helps while you pedal, or just hit the thumb throttle and whizz away!

Are they motorcycles or ebikes?

- They're electric bicycles, though we use a lot of motorcycle components and we're heavily influenced by motorcycle heritage styling.

No. No we don't.
