It started out with a brand new flat black Retrospec Dart 24" Hybrid bicycle. It's a beautiful riding bike without any modifications. Then I swapped out the stock seat for something more comfortable. I replaced the straight mountain bike handlebars for nice ape hangers for a more comfortable ride. This is powered by a 48 volt 500 watt geared front wheel hub kit with a color display and has 5 PAS speeds. It's really tame in PAS 1 for a new rider. This is configured for throttle only ad has a twist throttle setup. I don't install pedal assist on my bikes but I will give the buyer the sensor and wiring if you want to include it on the bike.
Regarding the range you will get out of a full charge on the battery, I read a lot of electric bike claims on Amazon regarding pedal assist or throttle only and it's my opinion that they exaggerate on virtually all of them. I assume that riding this bike mellow with this battery should hold up for 20 miles or so in the lower speeds.
I just took it for a little ride in my neighborhood and in PAS 5, I got to about 26.5 MPH which is pretty good. A new 48 Volt battery charger is included. If you run out of battery, the bike pedals and shifts great and the V brakes work great to stop this bike. It's not too heavy pedaling it without power either. A rear luggage rack can be added and an even bigger battery can be mounted there if you like. This bike has a total of 39.5 miles on the odometer since new when it was built. Thanks for looking!
