This electric bicycle  is a technological marvel; it runs on battery that is power driven by a  rear hub motor fitted on the rear wheel.

• Pedal mode is like a normal bicycle without turning on the battery.
• Pedelec mode is where the battery activates once we Pedal and reduces our Pedalling effort up to 80%. This can be set to Low-Med-High depending on Conditions and Terrain.

The motor has 250 Watts. - This is the maximum under EU Regulation. Speed with Motor Assist is restricted to 25 kph as per EU Regulation at which stage Motor Assist will cut out. Speeds in excess of 25kph can still be achieved by pedal power alone as with a standard bicycle.

It has a Lithium ion battery of 36Volts. Ampere Hour varies depending on model from 7Ah to 11Ah. The battery takes 3.5 to 4 hours to charge with a company supplied charger.
