Ukrainians using e-bikes mounted with Javelins to blow up Russian tanks.

Not having an internal-cumbustion heat-signature is a major plus for avoiding detection from the air.  Amplified torque and instantaneous acceleration make high speed electric bikes a force to be reckoned with.

Ukrainians have been forced to turn every aspect of their life into methods of fighting the Russians, leading to some innovative weapons and tactics developed from everyday civilian items.

In something more reminiscent of a video game or action movie it has been reported that Ukrainian soldiers have been using e-bikes armed with missiles to take out Russian tanks.

The bikes have been given to the military by e-bike maker Delfast. Soldiers have then modified them to carry NLAW rockets or other anti-armour weapons.

Commander In Ukraine Wants Quiet Electric Bikes For His Sniper Teams

“We have to go and leave fast,” Ukrainian sniper-commander Mamulashvili told The War Zone Wednesday morning. “So we need electro bikes.”

Mamulashvili said he needs a fast, quiet vehicle to get sniper teams to a location where they can fire off shots for about five to 10 minutes, then quickly get out before the Russians rain artillery down on their position.

 

They also increase communications in areas where Russians use electronic warfare to jam signals — messengers on bikes is a long-proven form of battlefield courier correspondence.

They also offer the ability to transport small cargo and provide quick medical relief to the wounded via traveling medics. Eventually, said Vanda, they can be placed on inflatable boats and moved around thanks to their size and weight.
