The all-new Blacktop 1.0 sees a more powerful 11.6Ah battery for further range, upgraded Shimano 9-Speed gearing, hydraulic disc brakes and all the thoughtful extras to make this electric bike the ultimate value urban commuter.

The Blacktop is the perfect do-it-all electric bike for riders who want to take charge of their daily commute; or replace the car for weekend adventures and visiting friends.This versatile and tough hybrid electric bike is Australia’s most affordable way to get around the city faster and with less effort.

With rapid advances in battery technology meaning smaller, more powerful units; and motors getting smoother and more discrete - it’s no surprise everyone is getting on an ebike!

Electric bikes use a battery powered motor to give you pedal-assistance up to 25km/hr to help you ride further, with less effort so you can get there faster and in better shape.

Powering the new Blacktop 1.0 is the latest Bafang 250 watt electric motor positioned in the rear hub. This affordable option still keeps the centre of gravity low - for stable handling when navigating traffic or fast cornering.

The torque of the electric motor coupled with the Shimano 9-speed drivetrain will give you all the range you need for fast city riding or weekend touring.

The elegant frame-integrated battery pack is an even more powerful, fast-charging 36 volt 11.6 Ah (417.6 Wh) unit that will help you cruise through up to 80 kilometres of pedal-assisted riding on a single charge. Just choose your power level on the handlebar mounted display unit and go!

To make this new model even safer and more stable to control, we’ve upgraded the brakes to Nutt hydraulic disc. Hydraulics offer the best performance in all conditions with more available stopping power from less lever force, and more easily controlled modulation.

The Blacktop is available in horizontal top-tube or a step-through frame design for riders who would rather wear casual clothing, aren’t as flexible or like being able to easily stand with both feet at the traffic lights.

Both configurations are optimised for a fast, smooth and controlled riding experience. And as becomes clear from the first pedal stroke - these bikes are also heaps of fun!
