The Orox features dual battery capability and a Bosch motor, giving it a range of nearly 200 miles.

We also noticed that they wanted to bring their equipment with them. On that trip, we built the Orox.”
The Orox is equipped with high-capacity tires that provide traction and comfort even on tough surfaces. When extreme conditions require special tires, the Orox frame and fork allows the rider to swap out his choice of 26 x 5-inch, 27.5 x 4-inch, or 29 x 3-inch wheels/tires. Designed.
