We are talking about city bikes with pedals, the design of which includes a mid-drive motor and a battery. Buyers will be able to choose between Mosh / Cty, Rush / Cty, Rush / Cty Step-Thru, and Rush / Cty Speed ​​models, which range in price from $ 3399 to $ 4999.

The developers have equipped the bikes with 250W motors, which can accelerate to 32 km / h (with the exception of the Rush / Cty Speed, which is able to go faster). The Brose motor delivers four levels of power, while the Enviolo Automatic automatic transmission delivers a smoother ride.

Each model will come with integrated front and rear lighting, a lithium-ion battery inside the frame, and a maintenance-free Gates carbon belt drive. This is not the first time that a belt drive has been used instead of a chain drive, but there are still few models in which this technology is implemented.

The most affordable Mosh / Cty has a 529 Wh battery, which provides a range of 56-168 km. Since the design has pedals, the distance traveled without recharging can vary greatly depending on whether they are used when driving or not. The design includes two-piston disc brakes with calipers on the front and rear wheels. The model is basic, therefore it does not provide the ability to change gears. This bike is the lightest in the series, weighing approximately 22 kg. It will be possible to become the owner of Mosh / Cty by paying $ 3399.

The developers rated the Rush / Cty, which weighs 26.7 kg, at $ 4449.

The Rush / Cty Step-Thru has a 529 Wh battery in its design, which is enough to cover 48-144 km.

The bike weighs 27 kg and costs $ 4,399 to buy it.

The most advanced option is Rush / Cty Speed. This model is capable of accelerating to 45 km / h, and the built-in 706 Wh battery provides a range of 40-185 km. The bike weighs 26.7 kg, and to become its owner you have to pay $ 4999.
