Frequently Asked Questions about the Argon
How much does the Optibike Argon weigh?
The Argon weighs just 37 lbs (16.8 kg). This is significantly lighter than the average e-bike (which often exceeds 55-60 lbs), making it the perfect choice for riders who need to lift their bike onto a rack, carry it inside an apartment, or want a bicycle that handles naturally without power.
Does the Argon use a chain or a belt?
The Argon utilizes a Gates-style Belt Drive system. This replaces the traditional greasy metal chain with a durable, silent belt that requires no lubrication and will not get grease on your pants leg. It is cleaner, quieter, and requires less maintenance than a chain.
Is the Argon good for hills?
Yes. Despite its light weight, the 500W High-Torque Hub Motor is capable of climbing mild to moderate hills (up to 6% grades) without issue. The torque sensor detects when you are pushing harder on the pedals and automatically delivers more power to help you ascend.
How fast can the Argon go?
The Argon is a Class 2 E-Bike with a top speed of 20 MPH. It features both a throttle (for cruising without pedaling) and pedal assist, the throttle can also be removed making it a Class 1 E-Bike, making it legal on most bike paths in the USA.
