Overview
- The Flux X26 is live on Kickstarter with early‑bird pricing from $1,199 to $1,599 and first shipments targeted for May 2026.
- The bike is street‑legal out of the box as a Class‑2 e‑bike with a 20 mph cap and a 750W nominal motor, while Pro mode unlocks up to 2,000W peak and Class‑3‑like speeds for off‑road use where allowed.
- Boost mode sends controlled torque to the rear hub at the press of a button to lift the front wheel, using motion‑control algorithms to manage the rise rather than dumping power all at once.
- Hardware highlights include a removable 48V, 1,008Wh battery with a claimed 50–70 mile range by model and 25W USB power output, plus 20×4.0 inch fat tires, hydraulic disc brakes, about 100 lb curb weight, and IPX5/IPX7 water resistance ratings.
- FLUX OS enables over‑the‑air updates, and the Pro adds 4G connectivity for real‑time GPS tracking and app‑based anti‑theft, while reporters note AOTOS has yet to reconcile conflicting torque figures across its own materials.
