Choose your frame
Both frame styles share the same motor, battery, drivetrain, and electronics. The choice is about mounting preference, standover height, and riding position.
The lower top-tube area makes mounting and dismounting easier at frequent stops. It suits riders who prioritize everyday convenience and a more accessible step-over.
Confirm the current frame-size and geometry guidance before ordering; fit depends on inseam, riding position, and frame size.
Traditional top-tube geometry for riders who prefer a sportier silhouette and familiar frame feel. It has a higher step-over than the ST frame.

Frequently asked questions
Choose the Hybrid for the most approachable price and a smooth cadence-sensor ride. Choose the Hybrid Pro if you want more responsive torque-sensing assist, up to 50 miles of range, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, an 8-speed drivetrain, and an air suspension fork.
The Hybrid is rated at up to 40 miles per charge. Actual range varies with assist level, rider weight, hills, wind, temperature, tire pressure, and cargo. Using lower assist on flatter routes extends range; high assist into headwinds or up hills reduces it.
No. The Hybrid uses Tektro MD-M280 mechanical disc brakes with an electric motor cut-off sensor. They perform reliably in wet and dry conditions. Hydraulic disc brakes — Tektro HD-M285 — are a feature of the Hybrid Pro.
The Hybrid is available in ST (step-through) and XR (crossover / top-tube) frame styles. Both use the same 500W motor, battery, and electronics. ST offers an easier step-over for frequent stops; XR uses a more traditional top-tube silhouette. Review the current size chart before ordering.
Yes. The Hybrid is designed for everyday commutes, errands, and city riding. The upright geometry is comfortable for stop-and-go traffic, the integrated front and rear lighting adds visibility, and the optional step-through frame makes daily mounting easy.
