Frey Bike unveiled its two high-power and high-speed e-bikes

A Jinhua, China-based Frey Bike has unveiled two high-power and high-speed e-bikes that include the EX and CC models. The bikes come under the category of a high-end electric mountain bike and electric cross-country or commuter bike.

For rough trail riding and mountain climbing EX model is designed, while for more relaxed, upright geometry as well as low standover height, the CC model is ideal. CC model is better suited for city and hybrid riding.
