Components & Specs
Full component specifications for our fellow nerds.
Enviolo Hub
Way better than derailleur gearing, the Enviolo TK continuously variable transmission hub features a 380% range and never needs adjustment.
MPF 6C Motor
We're fans of the strong and silent type, so we use an MPF mid-drive motor with all-metal gearing in an oil lube bath. It has 350-watt nominal power and 650-watt peak output.
Mid-Motor Battery
Our 375Wh standard battery provides 15 to 40 miles of range depending on terrain, assist level, and other factors. An upgraded 500Wh battery is also available for increased range and power. All of our batteries are removable and can be charged on or off the bike.
Class 1 / Class 3 Controller
Our mid-motor bikes can be configured with a Class 1 (motor assistance up to 20 mph) or a Class 3 (motor assistance up to 26 mph) controller.
Mid Motor Display
Our mid-motor handlebar display has 6 levels of assist plus walk mode, a backlight and USB power-out. In assist mode 0, your Vvolt can be ridden without motor power, just like an analog bike. In assist mode 5, you're getting the maximum power. Full speed ahead!
Brakes
Hydraulic brakes paired with 160mm rotors provide ample stopping power.
Gates Belt Drive
Carbon reinforced belts from Gates® last longer than chains, operate quietly, and don't require greasing. No more unintentional chainring tattoos!
Tires
27.5" x 45mm tires with smooth tread for fast-rolling on pavement. Wide enough to tame bumps and offer increased tracking on gravel or hard-packed dirt.
