HPC Typhoon Pro - E(xtreme)-Bike
The HPC Typhoon Pro is an extreme, high-performance electric dirt bike from California-based Hi Power Cycles, blending the lightweight feel of a mountain bike with the brute force of a dirt bike. With up to 6000W of power, instant torque and a top speed around 42 mph, it is built to charge up forest hills and tear back down them, making it one of the most capable extreme e-bikes you can buy.
What is the HPC Typhoon Pro?
Hi Power Cycles is one of the few companies in the world making insane hybrids of e-bikes and dirt bikes. They have found the perfect formula: a lightweight construction with a powerful electric engine to boost it up forest hills. The Typhoon Pro is the most extreme version in the range, an electric dirt bike that is equally at home climbing and descending. Full details are on the official Hi Power Cycles Typhoon Pro page.
How good is the suspension on the Typhoon Pro?
Based on the original Typhoon by HPC, the Pro version takes things to the extreme. Using a DVO suspension with 8 inches of travel, the bike can easily go through harsh terrain while still keeping you in place. The rear uses a Jade monoshock that absorbs all sorts of abuse you might throw its way. What is great about these is that you can tailor them to your weight so the bike responds exactly how you want it to.
How fast and powerful is the HPC Typhoon Pro?
You can choose between different electric engines: the default sits at 6000W of power, while an optional 7000W is up for grabs as well. With its advantage of instant torque, the 120 lb-ft is instantly available and the bike can go up to 42 mph. To make up for the power, a pair of Magura hydraulic brakes guarantee strong, fade-free stopping. This makes the HPC Typhoon Pro the perfect bike to ride uphill and downhill alike. As Robb Report highlighted, it is one of the most powerful electric mountain bikes ever offered to the public.
