- Powerful: It's you, just faster — it's 4x You. The Turbo Full Power system senses the force you apply to the pedals and naturally quadruples it for an experience that makes getting up any hill or to any destination no sweat. Literally.
- Comfortable & Confident: Body position and handling are optimized to deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed, while larger tires provide maximum traction for turning and stopping.
- Smooth: Stay comfortable in the saddle with an 80mm front suspension fork, higher volume tires, and a plush suspension seat post that smooths harsh bumps from points A to B.
- Secure: Anti-theft lock built right into the bike. Disable the motor with a press of a button so no one can turn it on without your phone or personalized pin. The battery locks in the bike or can be easily taken with you. An alarm sounds if anyone tries to move your bike.
- Silent: Turbo Full Power Motor provides smooth, quiet, and seamless amplification for a quiet ride on any terrain.
- Turbo Full Power 2.2 Motor: 90Nm torque with a 710Wh battery delivers seamless pedal assistance up to 28 mph. Go up to 62 miles (100 km) or 4.5 hours on a single charge (eco mode).
- enviolo AUTOMATiQ IGH: Stepless shifting technology automatically shifts gears based on your pedal pace. Set your preferred cadence and forget it.
- Garmin Radar Integration: Detects cars up to 140 meters away with visual, audible, and haptic alerts on the MasterMind display.
- Adventure-Ready: DRYTECH Fenders, LED lights, 27kg capacity rear HD Rack (child seat compatible), and thru-axle trailer rated.
- Step-Through Frame: Easy on, easy off design for maximum accessibility and convenience in urban environments.
The speed limit at which the motor will stop supporting may vary significantly by region and is based on local requirements. It may also affect range: a higher speed limit may result in less range.
