Tailwind II Road Bike Electric Assist Tandem

Tailwind II

Mid level component package on an electric assist tandem.

Available with road or mountain bars.

Built with the powerful OLI Move motor.  The Tailwind II is a more budget friendly electric assist tandem. Like our Tailwind, it is not a motorcycle and you still get the full cycling experience. The motor is quite, smooth, powerful (80nm), and very natural feeling. The high capacity Li-Ion, 522 Wh, battery last for many miles.

*** This is also available as a frame kit for existing da Vinci owners. You use most of your parts to save money and upgrade to electric assist. Click here for details.
