Now, the company has launched a minimalist, in a budget electric bike in China, named the Himo T1. It is their first ever electric mopped and appears to be a mix of a moped and a step through. It is priced at 2,999 Chinese Yuan ( around Rs 31,110).

The electric moped looks like a bike but also has pedals which make it more of an e-bike than a normal cycle. The T1 utilizes a 350W rated brushless permanent magnet motor which is powered by a 14,000mAh Li-ion battery with a nominal voltage of 48V, that also provides 14Ah/ 28Ah energy options. The 14Ah gives the moped a range of 60km, whereas the battery pack that is rated at 28Ah, increases the range to 120km.
