A company called Budnitz introduced what it says is the “world’s lightest” electric bike. It’s called the Budnitz Model E. It has a single speed, is made of titanium alloy, and can help riders reach up to 15mph for up to 100 miles. It’s custom-made in Vermont and everything you’ll need, like cables and a battery, are stuffed in the bike’s rear hub.
