Constructing the blueprint after 3D rendering simulation.

Smooth Welding

Mono used smooth welding procedure for the most visible parts for sharper look!

You would be able to tell the true difference once to get it in your hands!

This elaborate procedure with doubled weld seams has two advantages:

First, it improves the firmness of the weld seams and minimizes the load peaks on the tube welds through energy flow and on the other hand, it helps the frame to a better and more organic look due to the smooth and hardly noticeable welds.

The Internal Cables

The internally routed cables are not only protected inside of the frame from the dirt, sweat and road grime but also give the bike an organised appearance for your style. This involves several more manufacturing steps but we were more than willing to do it for you! 

INTEGRATED front and back lights

Be smart and have the lights integrated! They keep you safe during the night ride and make your bike looking nice and neat during the day. You can avoid having the bulky head and rear lights being attached on the frame, too! Just press the 'PAS level up' button longer for switching on and off! How simple!

Detachable battery

What is good about Mono? Our patented half-hidden-in-the-frame and detachable battery!

The battery pack nicely falls down along with the down tube so when you want to charge it, you can easily take the battery out! You can simply knock the key in, detach the battery in one second.  For re-attachment just tuck the battery in to the place where it was! There will be 2 keys given out to you to start with. If you happen to lose the key, contact us for another key set!

Mono battery harmonizes with the down tube and at the same time, it allows easy access so that you can take it with you anywhere to recharge.

There is a little button on the battery pack for you to press and see the battery gauge. So you will be able to constantly check how much is left to go without turning the screen on each time.

Let's have a closer look at the difference between tires.

In the video, you can our Mono 20 FAT(left) and Mono 20(right).

Mono 20 has 20"x1.75 KENDA tires for convenient city riding and Mono 20 FAT is equipped with 20"x4.0 CST tires for the steady riding in tougher conditions. eg slippery, snowy and etc.

Please NOTE : Mono FAT in the video has KENDA tires but the actual product delivered to you will be the one from CST. Mono 26 has 20"x1.75 KENDA tires.

 

LCD screen

LCD indicates the battery gauge, current speed (You can set in MPH or KMH), the PAS levels (from 0-5), whether the integrated lights are on or off and the total distance traveled. It also tell you the error code when something goes wrong and this can be the communication key between you and our engineers! eg. error code : 22 - throttle problem and etc.
 
Please note : the basic LCD set is provided as the above.
 

Adjustable to YOU

Our Mono series is adjustable. You can not only adjust the height of the seat but also the height of the handle! Each ring is about 0.4 inch (1cm) and there are 4~6 rings depending on the models to take out. It is not difficult to do it at home but if you do not have any tools, just visit your nearest bike shop for help!

MONO 20 Front Suspension

Our Mono 20 is even more special.  It has a front suspension which absorbs physical shocks applied the front wheel for easier riding on uphills, rough surfaces and pebbles.

MONO TIMELINE

** Our campaign is upon running with flexible goal, meaning you will definitely receive your perks regardless of whether the goal is reached or not.

 

RECONBIKE Collaboration

RECON’s wish for our next generations to be passed on with better environment.

Collaboration with SPINE from Italy.

RECON will be launching our Mono 20 and Mono 26 in Europe under the name of "SPINEBIKE" which is an Italian company. SPINE is very committed to develop a new way of e-mobility providing not only the products but service related to ebikes. With the theme of spreading the idea that ebikes are real solutions for everyday displacement, they proposed a coin rewarding system on their smart phone applications to promote people participation. 

 

Other Products From Recon

RECONBIKE is a leading ebike company in Korea.
We are supported by RECON lovers who pursue our own design, passion to create better ebikes and the product ranges we introduce at the beginning of year each.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is "RECON"?

A: Many of you guys may have heard or seen us at different trade show over the world. Recon HI-TECH is the name of our ebike company that has been upon running for 4 years. We came to create Mono series which superior others design-wise and functionality-wise after several years of developing all kinds of models from city ebikes to eMTBs. 

 

Q: How is "Mono" crafted?

A: Our design team in conjunction with our engineers created RECON's own frame that you can't find anywhere else. This is how we came across with the name of "Mono" which implies its "uniqueness". Along with Mono, we wanted you to be "the one" who follows the simple and modern life style. 

At the top of this design, we found a way to put a battery that can be be easily detachable for your convenience.

 We added both of PAS (Pedal Assist System) AND a throttle, so that you can choose whichever to fulfill your needs.  We market-tested our Mono series locally in Korea and upgraded with the features that overseas users might prefer, such as a LCD indicator in mileage. With your support, we would be able to precede the final production phase for you! 

 

Q: What are the differences among Mono 20, Mono 26 and Mono 20 FAT?

A: Firstly, they differ in the size of the wheel. The number indicates its wheel size in inches.

Our Mono 20 is designed for everyone to easily hope on. Anyone taller than 5.15 ft would have no trouble riding our Mono 20.

Mono 26 is for everyone but might be preferred who are taller than 5.75 foot because it frame is designed to be higher than Mono 20.

Mono 20 FAT is for everyone who are more sporty, riding Mono in slippery, snowy and sandy environment.

 

Q: Is the brake system safe?

A: For riders safety, Mono series is built with a disc brake system which differs from the rim brakes. While rim brakes get easily heated up, cause the tires to wear and become weak on the wet surfaces, the disc brakes can endure the tougher riding conditions and after the long term use, you can simply replace the disc brake rotors rather than having to change the whole set.

 

Q: What are PAS and throttle functions?

A: There are two distinctive electric functions. One called PAS; pedal assist system, the other a throttle.

If you want to ride Mono just like normal bicycles, you can do so with the PAS level 0 while still being able to check the current speed, distance traveled, battery gauge, integrated lights and etc.

For PAS system, you will be getting extra help from the motor WHILE pedaling by clicking the up and down buttons near the left handle bar grip. There are 6 different levels from 0 to 5.  0 being just like normal bicycles with no help from the motor at all. Higher the level gets, stronger the power you will be getting.

Throttle, is something you would want to use when you want to cruise without pedaling and ride it like a motorbike. Just twist the thumb throttle near the right side of the handle bar.

 

Q: How is the effective exercise possible with Mono?

A: To start with, you can ride Mono just like a non-ebike for exercising while being able to check the current speed, distance traveled and whenever you are frustrated, you can get help from the motor and ride further distance at steady exercise level for effective aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise, as you might have already know, burns up calories which can in turn help you shed excess weight and be healthier! 

I guarantee, you will go outside, ride Mono and utilize it more often in your everyday life for your transportation and health because you have less stress about having to do a hard out leg work.

 

Q: How does the battery get recharged? Does it self-recharge?

A: Mono battery is half hidden in the frame. You can simply detach it in a matter of a second and plug it on the wall to recharge it. It does not provide any self-recharging function because it is just not cost-effective to have it integrated and it only causes the resistance back to itself which will again takes more energy to push further.

 

Q: How long does it take to fully recharge the battery?

A: For Mono 20 and Mono 26, it takes approximately 4 hours. For Mono FAT, approximately 4.5~5 hours. With our fast charger, it will only take around 2.5 hours to fully recharge!

 

Q: How long is the battery lifespan?

A: Normally, the lithium ion battery lifespan will be decreased to around 80% after 800 cycles.

 

Q: The battery is exposed to the outside. Does it come with water-resistance features?

A: Yes. It is half hidden, meaning it is also half-exposed for the ease of detachment and recharging. It would be OK to ride on rainy days, but it is recommended to make sure you wipe the wet surface with dry towel for storage after the use.

 

Q: Would it be possible to purchase a spare battery?

A: Yes. Of course! You can get "a spare battery perk" for yourself. If you need another pack after the campaign, you would always be able get it from us directly and you will need to as Mono batteries are specialized for Mono only. I recommend getting it NOW to save your money and shipping costs!

 

Q: What would be the range (distance covered with a single charge)?

A: In PAS level 1 with pedaling, it can cover the estimated range of 50 miles (80km) and when throttle is in use (full electric), the estimated range is 15.5 MPH (25km). The range may be differ depending on the geography of riding, weight of the rider and other factors.

 

Q: How fast is it?

A: In PAS(pedal assist system) mode with Mono 20 and Mono 26 (8.8Ah batteries) , you can reach the maximum speed of 21.7MPH (35KMH) and in throttle mode, 12.5MPH (20KMH). However, there will be the speed limit programmed to meet the regulations of 20 MPH (32KMH). You can reprogram it to follow your country regulations. 

Mono FAT (10.4Ah battery) can reach the maximum speed of 27.9MPH (45KMH) in PAS mode and 18.5MPH (30KMH) when throttle is in use. So, please check if Mono FAT with 500W is allowed in your regions before backing us!

 

Q: What can I do when battery goes flat while riding?

A: Do not panic. You can simply ride it like regular bicycles by pedaling or find a power supplier to recharge your battery. Alternately, you can get a perk for a spare battery which is only 6 pounds (2.8kg) approximately. Then you will be ready to boost for another round in one second!

 

Q: Is it safe to use?

A: Yes. There is BMS circuit that controls the battery and prevents it from the over-current and over-voltage for your safety. If there is something wrong electronically, there will be an error code appearing on the LCD screen in 2 digits number.

 

Q: How to read error codes?

A: The errors codes are the key for the communication and identifying the problems caused electronically. Please follow the chart to figure out what is an issue.

 

Q: What happens if the campaign does not reach the goal?

A: Don't worry! We will still keep the promise and send you the perks to your door!

 

Q: How does the perk come to my door?

A: Everything will come in one box. There will be a mini tooling set for you to get your bike ready for a ride as well as the instructions on how to screw to pedals, handle bar and the front wheel for the completion!

 

Q: What about the part for replacements?

A: You can always get all the components from us. However, apart from the battery and the key set, the parts are standard so you can get it from the local bike shop for repair, upgrades and customization. 

 

Q: What is the maximum load?

A: The Maximum load is approximately 265 pounds. It is made of aluminium alloy which is the most widely used material for bike frame and well known for its strength and safety.

 

Q: Do I need a license to ride MONO?

A: Yes for US and no for EU. Our Mono 20 an Mono 26 are equipped with 350W following the US regulations and Mono 20 FAT with 500W for some regions. You can check the regulations according to your state at here.  This is the reason why we do not delivery the perks to Europe countries but to US, Canada, Korea and China. Our Mono series has the capacity of riding at the maximum speed given at the above chart but will have the limits set up to 20mph (32km/h) which is adjustable with reprogramming. 

 

Q: I live in Europe and want Mono series. What do I do?

A: RECON is working in conjunction with SPINE from Italy for launching Mono 20 and Mono 26 with SPINE's application technology in several months. Please contact info@spinebike.com for more information.

 

Q: Who is responsible for TAX, DUTY and VAT?

A: It is 0% in US and Korea. Please check with your customs and government or contact us.

 

Q: How to contact us?

A: You can either email us to iris@reconbike.com or call +1-213.295.3330 / +82-70-4261-7553.
