So, it looks like the Russian army is going to get electric bikes. Also, the police are going to get them. It has batteries which enable it to run for a distance of 320 km. Also, three sorts of batteries can be used: “uphill”, “speedy” and “long distance” depending on what sort of task needs to be solved. Let’s see a police version of the electro bike:

This one is for police. It is promised that both of them can be “stored in a regular car’s trunk”, so they are probably foldable.
Different types of weapons can be mounted onto them, and their speed can reach up to 110 km/h (almost 65 mph) with the motors starting from 3 kilowatts.
In case you are wondering how much they cost – they say its around 300k rubles which was $10,000 just recently but is around $6,000 according to today’s dollars to ruble exchange rate.
