Specs and Features: E-Bike Core Performance

Battery and Charging

Powering the beast is a Samsung 48V 15Ah battery, giving you 720Wh of juice to go as far as 70 miles (112 km) depending on your assist level and throttle indulgence. The battery is tucked low in the downtube for balance and is key-lock removable for security. An optional 17.5Ah upgrade stretches the range another 10–20 miles (16–32 km). Charging time? A reasonable 4–6 hours with the included smart charger.

• Battery: 720Wh (48V 15Ah Samsung)
• Range: 25–50 miles (40–80 km); up to 70 miles (112 km) with upgrade
• Charging: 4–6 hours
• USB port included on battery

Performance and Drivetrain

Its BAFANG 500W motor peaks at 800W, delivering a hearty 80 Nm of torque—enough to tackle steep inclines and muddy trails. You’ll hit up to 25 mph (40 km/h) with pedal assist and 20 mph (32 km/h) using throttle alone. Shimano's Altus 7-speed drivetrain pairs with a cadence sensor and half-twist throttle for varied riding modes. Expect smooth shifts, solid torque, and a punchy ride whether you're in town or off-grid.

• Motor: BAFANG 500W (800W peak), 80 Nm torque
• Top speed: 25 mph (40 km/h), 20 mph (32 km/h) throttle
• Drivetrain: Shimano Altus 7-speed
• Assist: 5–9 PAS levels, cadence sensor + throttle

Color Range and Design: Tough Outside, Smooth Where It Counts

Exterior

The high-step 6061 aluminum frame supports up to 320 lbs (145 kg) and is built like a tank—but rides like a cruiser. At 60–62.4 lbs (27–28.3 kg), it’s on the heavier side, but the payoff is durability. MOZO’s front suspension fork offers 120mm of travel with preload and lockout, helping it float over city potholes and backwoods bumps. Wide 26” x 4.0” Chaoyang fat tires hug everything from pavement to snowbanks with serious grip.

Color Variants

Available in Matte Black, Pearl White, and Matte Platinum Grey, the Predator looks as aggressive as it rides. Matte textures are low-key but rugged, perfect for riders who want something that doesn’t scream “techy” but still turns heads at a stoplight.

Conclusion: Built to Ride—Anywhere

With 800W peak power, oversized tires, and a no-nonsense frame, it nails the balance between rugged and refined. And at $1,599, it punches above its class without punching your wallet.
