The cargo box has two bench seats with four sets of seatbelts for four children; the seats can be
removed to carry loads, an animal or an adult as long as the total load capacity is not exceeded.
The electric system comprises of a 36V 10 Ah battery powering a 250W DC brushless motor
controlled by a twist and go throttle and a remote control unit on fitted to the handlebars. Three
different power levels can be selected on the remote control along with a power on/off switch.
The electric power being 250W only is not designed to power the cycle on its own, it requires human
input.
The braking system is comprised of 3 x V-brakes which are operated by two standard brake levers on
the handlebars, both of the front brakes being linked together in order to be applied by one cable.
Each brake lever has an electric power override switch which cuts power to the motor should either
the brake be applied.
The rear brake is fitted with a catch-type handbrake system which allows the brake lever to be locked
in the on position.
The gears are of the derailleur type with a six speed index shift controller, these gears are used in
conjunction with the electric power system to maximise the rider’s power input and extend the battery
range.
