Milad Alinaqi, the company’s CEO, said Datis has reached a deal with the Italian bicycle producer LEAOS and has been named as exclusive agent of the company’s e-bikes in Iran, Mehr News Agency reported.

In addition to being environment-friendly, LEAOS bikes can be charged by their solar panels or plugged-in and recharged from an outlet. The bike can go up to 45km/h. The company is yet to announce a price for the bikes. On the LEAOS website, it is tagged at €5,490. Considering the high price it is rather unlikely that the bike will be able to attract many buyers in Iran, Financial Tribune reported.
