Performance Specs
Push the Flux and it pushes back—with a 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1200W) and 85 Nm of torque. It’s a natural climber with heavy loads and can shift between Class 2 (20 mph / 32 km/h throttle) and Class 3 (25 mph / 45 km/h pedal assist). The cadence sensor has a minor delay, but the half-twist throttle delivers power instantly for those quick starts. A Shimano Tourney 7-speed drivetrain gives it all the gear spread you need.
- Motor: 750W nominal, 1200W peak
- Top Speed: 45 km/h (25 mph)

Hydraulic disc brakes and puncture-resistant 20"x4.0" K-Shield tires with reflective strips give confidence in stop-and-go traffic or on gravel backroads. It’s sturdy, responsive, and built to carry—without riding like a tank.
