The e-bike’s motor enables pedal-assisted speeds of up to 28 mph and includes four riding modes: ‘Comfort’ for energy-efficient travel, ‘Sport’ for a balance of power and efficiency, ‘Sport Plus’ for enhanced acceleration, and ‘Race’ for maximum performance. The handlebar-mounted 5.5-inch color touchscreen displays key riding metrics, including speed and battery status, while also allowing control of the smart helmet.
Equipped with a Shimano 9-speed derailleur and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes featuring 203-millimeter slotted rotors, the e-bike is designed for both performance and safety. The frame, made from aluminum alloy, has a sleek silver finish but does not include mudguards or a luggage rack. The standard “DownTube” battery offers a 10Ah capacity, with an optional “SeatTube” battery available for extended range.
