Wheels

Tyres
26-inch, 36-spoke wheels with a double rim for extra sturdiness. Tyres with reflective strips.
20-inch, double wall, aluminium. Motor built into the rear wheel for improved steering control.

Brakes

Brakes
Aluminium V-brakes with interchangeable pads. The weight and speed of electric bikes reduces the lifespan of your brake pads: in poor conditions (rain, regularly carrying loads on the bike, etc.) the lifespan is 400 km.
Promax aluminium V-Brake callipers provide powerful, progressive braking. Aluminium levers with rubber pads for added comfort. Braking cuts out electric assistance. Remember: The brake pads on electrically-assisted bikes wear down more quickly than a classic bike due to the weight and power of the motor.
