- app4soft 7y agoThink, as on 1897-1932 and until 2010s electric bikes powered by a battery still was out of the practicable list. But since 2010s electric bikes turn on the practicable list, and latest ebikes really cool. In 2017 Ukrainian Delfast model Prime e-bike set Guinness world record breaking 367 km (228 mi) distance on single charge.[0] I hope, latest Delfast model Top 2.0 would beat Prime's record this year ;-)[1] [0] https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/115107-greatest-distance-by-electric-bicycle-single-charge https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/115107-gr...
