Xiaomi launches QiCycle electric bike with a foldable aluminium frame

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has unveiled its first foldable electric bike - QiCycle. The smart cycle is part of the company's Mi Ecosystem. It has been priced at $455 and will be available for pre-order in China, starting today. The smart cycle flaunts a lightweight aluminium frame and weighs 13.5kg.

The QiCycle with the unique aluminium frame comes with a longitudinal folding design. This means that the main beam is not folded and also ensures easy storage after folding. The bike is equipped with the TMM torque sensing technology. It senses the amount of effort put in by the rider on the pedal and provides appropriate power for a comfortable ride.

The electric cycle incorporates an intelligent motion data monitoring feature that keeps track of speed, mileage, dynamic power and calories burnt while riding. All the data appears on a 1.8-inch display on the bike. This data can also be easily synced to the rider's smartphone via Bluetooth.

The bike is backed by a Panasonic 18,650mAh battery with BMS battery management technology. Xiaomi claims that the lightweight aluminium bike can go up to 45km on a single charge, and the battery takes around 3 hours to get fully charged.
