While the new Jeep Gladiator pick-up truck stole the show at the Super Bowl – in a commercial poking fun at Bill Murray and his film Groundhog Day – there was also another new produce: a Jeep-branded electric bike.
You can see the bike quickly in a cut-away involving Bill Murray and his new friend – the groundhog – having the time of their lives. The quick shot seems to tease of the new e-Bike, an off-road mountain bike with built-in motor.
Jeep quietly put up a page online that revealed a few more details of its first-ever two-wheeler, which was produced in partnership with electric bike-maker QuietKat.
Riders will get up to 40 miles on a single charge thanks to its 750-watt motor. The bike has 4.8-inch tires, designed to go over any terrain, and a suspension with “tractive capability” – the same suspension used in the automaker’s off-road vehicles.
Interested customers can head to the Jeep e-Bike page and register their interest in the product. But it’s not yet known when the bike will ship (although, rumours that it will officially go on sale in June).
You can check out the full commercial – and the glimpse of Jeep’s e-Bike – below:
