130-mile carbon ebike makes light work of the daily commute
Following a successful Indiegogo for a long-range folding ebike in January, Chinese e-mobility outfit Mihogo has returned to the platform with a lightweight commuter. The Air's carbon fiber frame is jam-packed with batteries for up to 128 miles per charge.

'jam packed with batteries' doesn't seem to be a very safe thing to say. May be I'm a bit biased after seeing a bunch of videos of electric cycles bursting into fire in elevators.

Wow these "lightweight" bikes are 50-60 pounds. I'd be worried about hitting bumps on a carbon frame with that much weight on it. Are most ebikes carbon frame now?

I'm not sure, I figure most of them are still probably aluminum.

Carbon is not a good choice for a commuter bike. If you've got it locked up and someone else's bike falls onto yours, the frame could be toast.
