| Helio Cycle M37 |
The Helio Cycle is designed to meet the requirements of the commuter and recreational user that expects to ride on public roads in Europe. All Helio Cycle models are Vehicle Type Approved as mopeds and may be imported and used in all EU member countries. The Helio provides 30 to 40 km of range on each charge, and travels at a top speed of 20, 25, or 37 km/hr depending upon the model. The Helio M20 and M25 have top speeds of 20km/hr and 25km/hr respectively. In some European countries, the lower speed models allow for operation without insurance, registration or helmets. Be sure to check your local regulations before ordering.

Speed
In the "GO FAST" mode, top speed is 37 km/h, electronically limited. Zero to 25 km/h in less than 4 seconds. In the "GO FAR" mode, top speed is 25 km/h, and acceleration is smooth and simple. The Helio M25 and M20 are limited to 25 km/h and 20km/h.
Powerful enough? See for yourself! 
Range
Using a single battery pack, range is 30 - 40 km in the "GO FAR" mode and 25-35 km in the "GO FAST" mode. Actual range will depend on the terrain and your size. Range for the M20 and M25 is 30 - 40 km. Extend your range by 50% by adding the Extended Range Battery Pack (XR Pack) accessory.
Hill Climbing
The Helio charges up hills. It will climb a 15% grade at 20 km/h with a 70 kg rider.
Charger
Just plug your Helio in and the charger takes it from there. Three hours to 80% from complete discharge, 4-6 hours to full charge. Accepts any input voltage from 100V to 240V.

Motor
The heart of the Helio is a tough DC motor designed specifically for the Helio. It's powerful enough to pull big people up big hills.
Suspension
The soft ride of the Helio is the result of a custom front dual spring suspension fork. Our suspension not only smoothes the bumps, but increases safety.
Saddle
One word: Comfort. For an extra-smooth ride, choose the suspension seat post that turns the seat post into a shock absorber.
Belt Drive
All Helio models use a quiet belt drive transmission. The 'whisper drive' requires no lubrication and is nearly silent.
Dash and Controls
Keyed ignition makes sure you stay in control of your Helio. Digital instruments are easy to read. Performance mode selector lets you choose: "GO FAST" or "GO FAR." Handlebar mounted controls for the turn indicators, headlight, and the electric horn are located on the left handlebar grip just as you would find them on a motorcycle.
Cargo
The rear rack is standard equipment on all Helio models. It's great for bringing small cargo along. For more cargo space, choose the collapsible rear baskets or the lift-off front basket. If you want to bring home the kitchen sink, (literally) consider the cargo trailer.
Safety
Safety
Registerable and Road Legal
The Helio is a new and different way to get around, but it also meets the same safety requirements as a moped. All Helio Cycle models are Vehicle Type Approved in the EU, and each Helio Cycle ships with statutory markings, and a certificate of conformity (COC) that enables registration in an EU country.
Automatic Brakes
Relaxing the throttle automatically activates the regenerative braking feature, recapturing your momentum to charge the battery. Whenever you slow down the brake light is activated and your Helio gets a boost.
Hand Brakes
For extra stopping power the Helio has a front disc brake and a rear V style caliper brake.
|
Wheels
Helio wheels have lightweight hubs and incredibly strong double-walled 48-spoke rims matched with durable long-wearing high pressure tires. The twenty inch diameter wheels smooth the bumps and are safer than smaller wheels.
'e' marked lighting
The Helio Cycle includes turn indicators, in the front and rear that are operated by controls on the left grip. In addition to turn indicators, the Helio Cycle includes 'e' marked headlight, rear position and brake lights, and a license tag light. Also included are the required side reflectors and dual 'e' marked rear view mirrors
Chassis
The Helio chassis is sculpture in motion. Aircraft-grade aluminum is welded into an incredibly strong yet arrestingly beautiful monocoque chassis with room inside to hold batteries, electronics, and drive components. The chassis is heat treated, sand blasted and silver anodized for strength, scratch resistance and exceptional durability.
Speedometer
The speedometer is a standard feature on the Helio Cycle. The 6 function speedometer can be programmed to display in Metric or English units and has a backlight for night riding.
Dimensions
Dimensions
163cm long. 40cm tall. 51cm wide (26cm wide with handlebars aligned for storage or transport).
Weight
59 kg, but it's no weakling. The Helio is seriously fun transportation. (64 kg shipped)
Batteries
Two 12 volt sealed deep-discharge lead-acid batteries specially designed for the demands of electric vehicles. 40+ km per charge, swap in a fresh pair if you want to double your range. Good for years of everyday use. They'll carry you up to 15,000 km before they'll need to be replaced. Swap in a fresh battery or attach the XR pack for added range.
Warranty
Helio's are designed and built to last. All Helio models come with a Ten years warranty on the chassis; one year warranty on everything else, excluding the batteries; and six month warranty on the batteries.
