UBCO FRX1 - Electric Trail Bike

The UBCO FRX1 electric trail bike is a high-performance all-terrain e-bike co-engineered by UBCO and Neematic, built to bridge the gap between an enduro mountain bike and a light electric motorcycle. It is aimed at riders who want serious jump absorption, 15 kW of instant torque and true trail geometry in one machine.

The Concept

UBCO already earned its reputation with the 2x2 utility bike. The FRX 1 is a step up in intent: a purpose-built electric trail bike co-developed with Slovenian engineering house Neematic. Every design decision serves off-road performance, from the tubular frame silhouette to the mid-drive motor tucked into the swingarm pivot. The pre-order model targets riders who want the silence of an e-bike with the character of a light dirt bike.

The Build

A lightweight tubular frame gives the FRX1 its clean, minimal profile and keeps the centre of gravity low. Neematic's mid-drive motor sits in the swingarm pivot point, which dramatically reduces sprung mass and inertia. Suspension compression is decoupled from the swingarm, so the bike can absorb massive jumps without losing composure. Braking comes from Hope Tech 3 V4, drivetrain shifting is handled by a Pinion P1.9R gearbox plus nine real pedal gears, and Fox 40 forks with 203 mm of travel handle the front end.

The Ride

The permanent-magnet brushless motor delivers up to 15 kW of peak power with instant torque, matched to a removable 2.2 kWh lithium-ion battery good for a range of up to 100 km on a single charge. The pack recharges fully in 2.5 hours from a standard household socket. Combined with Fox rear shocks with adjustable compression and rebound, the FRX1 rides like a downhill machine on descents and pulls like a light motocross bike on climbs.
