The chromoly springer style fork adds to the classic styling.

The lithium ion battery is housed in what looks like a fuel tank along the top tube of the frame.  There are 3 battery size options: 37V 12.5ah, 52V 12.5ah, and 63V 12.5ah.  There are 2 charger options than can recharge the battery in 2-3 hours.

The bikes come stock with a high torque direct drive motor but there is an option for a geared rear hub motor.  The bikes come stock in US street legal mode of 750 watts and 20 mph max speed.  There is an option to “tune” the bike to provide 2,000 or 2,800 watts of power.

A Magura twist grip throttle is the way you add assist and Magura MT2 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors slow the bike down.

A Cycle Analyst e-bike computer, provides information on its large backlit LCD display including speed, distance, battery info, power, net energy, and more.
