300Amp programmable controller

Batteries

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries - the safest form of Lithium with four choices of pack size: Battery Pack   Performance Size Voltage (Nominal) Capacity Bike Cost Range Speed Peak Power Economy 20 x 40 Ah 64 V 2.56 kWh $5499 30 miles 50 mph 10 hp City 20 x 60 Ah 64 V 3.84 kWh $5999 40 miles 50 mph 15 hp Standard 24 x 60 Ah 76.8 V 4.608 kWh $6499 45 miles 55 mph 18 hp Deluxe 26 x 60 Ah 83.2 V 4.992 kWh $6799 50 miles 60 mph 20 hp

Battery Management System (BMS)

Per cell BMS with low voltage cut off, over voltage protection and pack balancing to within 0.01 volts. The BMS will keep your batteries healthy for approximately 2,000 charge/discharge cycles (around 75,000 miles). Should a cell fail the BMS will notify you which cell is bad before that one bad cell can ruin the rest of your pack.

Bike Control Unit (BCU)

The BCU is the brains of the bike, it monitors the power draw from the cells and provides an accurate fuel gauge based on your current riding style. It also provides a "reserve" supply of power to help get you home if you stray too far. For advanced users the BCU can also be used for logging battery data and driving an advanced LCD information display.

Battery Charger

110V / 15A on-board charger. Charge from a standard household outlet in 4 hours or less.

Regenerative Braking

"Regen" braking uses the motor as a generator during braking. This has three advantages: (1) it recovers energy for the batteries to reuse (2) it offers improved braking (3) it offers an engine braking "feel". Our regen is proportionally controlled via the rear brake lever and engages before the brake caliper. This gives the rider a high level of control allowing for a smooth, efficient and enjoyable riding experience.

Reverse

A single low-speed reverse button to assist with maneuvering the bike at walking pace.

Frame and Running Gear

Frame

Sturdy, maxi-scooter style design for comfort with great storage capacity. We made sure to keep as much storage space available for the rider and the bike can be fitted with an optional large rear trunk.
