Karmic OSLO

The electric love child of a bike and a scooter

Even though there have been great advances in EV tech, ebikes have remained largely the same. Great ones are expensive, and affordable ones are junk. In spite of everything out there, we believed that the best electric bike had yet to be built. So we built it.
The Karmic Oslo is the electric love child of a bike and a scooterKarmic has been making electric bikes with mid-drive motors and bolt-on batteries for around four years. I haven't gotten a chance to test one yet, but they appear to be decent bikes with good specs aimed at city commuters.
Karmic's OSLO eBike Previews Micromobility's Second ChapterMicromobility has near-limitless opportunities to make the world a better place, but it's also ready to be jump-started into its second chapter. Will Karmic's OSLO do just that? Karmic Bikes Every once in a while, a product comes along that changes how we think about everything: the iPod, the VW Beetle, the Tesla Model S (yes, really).

I've been a biker for decades... but that's not why I posted this I posted this cuz I love getting around SF fast! As in: not waiting for busses or Ubers or sweating on my bike or standing on a scooter forever Karmic's new bike is 10/10 stylish. Like if Apple designed a bike And I can't wait for all the crazy new types of vehicles we're gonna get

I love my Karmic Køben and it's been my main bike for ages. When I saw this, I instantly knew it was the right evolution. No longer tied down to being a bike that happens to have power, it feels more like a new vehicle.

@k Thanks Kevin! I'm glad you agree we're moving in the right direction. Time to upgrade your Koben to an OSLO.

@thomas_paul_mann Glad you like the look. We're focused on the US market for launch, but the 250W motor was selected so that we can offer it in other countries as well.

I love the OSLO, but I'm a bit biased. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to answer!
