The vehicle houses a 12 V (Lead-Acid) battery reservoir that ensures dependable power distribution. You can charge the battery from 0% to 100% in around N/A with the included charger. Real-world tests show that the large capacity delivers a range of up to 45 km/l on Eco assist.

Riding Caution

Do not ride through deep standing water where levels rise above the wheel hub. Submerging the electrical components can bypass the rubber seals, resulting in controller shorts.

Reliable stopping security is managed by dual disc brakes, ensuring consistent control on wet pavement. The tubeless tires offer excellent stability on loose gravel, and standard components keep maintenance simple.
