Recon's collab with GMC produced a 95-pound(!) ebike designed to look good next to GMC's EV HUMMER Supertruck.
If you’ve been saying to yourself, “I wish more ebikes gave gigantic SUV vibes,” well, today is your day.. The behemoth gives users access to three riding modes: rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive. It comes standard with a 48-volt 17.5 Ah LG battery, upgradable to 21 Ah.

If we were purchasing the GMC HUMMER EV AWD Ebike, we’d be tempted to shell out for the upgraded 21 Ah battery to extend our off-road range. Still, at 1008Wh, the upgraded battery isn’t
