Specs: Battery and Performance Overview

Battery Specifications

The heart of the ride is a Samsung 48V 15AH lithium-ion battery, packing 0.72 kWh of juice. Thanks to UL 2271 certification and IPX-6 waterproofing, it doesn’t just power long commutes—it shrugs off the weather while doing it. Expect a pedal assist range up to 60 miles (96 km), and it fully charges in just 4 to 6 hours—making overnight top-ups a breeze.

  • Battery Capacity: 48V 15AH (0.72 kWh)
  • Cell Brand: Samsung UL 2271 certified
  • Range: 60 miles (96 km) on pedal assist
  • Charging Time: 4–6 hours

Performance Details

With a 750W rear-hub motor peaking at 1000W, the Rebel.2 offers that just-right throttle response without jerky take-offs. It’s tuned to top out at 28 mph (45 km/h), putting it right in the sweet spot for both fitness freaks and grocery-hauling parents. The five-level pedal assist, cadence sensor, and full SHIMANO 7-speed shifter round out the smooth ride package.

  • Motor: 750W (1000W peak)
  • Top Speed: 28 mph (45 km/h)
  • Gears: SHIMANO 7-speed drivetrain
  • Assist Levels: 5 PAS modes
  • Weight: 65 lbs (29.5 kg)

Three Class modes (1/2/3) let you customize ride limits. Add in a suspension fork, 20" x 3.0" fat tires, and 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, and the control equation starts looking pretty solid—even on those surprise potholes.

Color Range and Design:

Exterior

The 6061 aluminum alloy frame folds neatly, shedding bulk while keeping the structure sound. The suspension fork softens up rough rides, while leather saddles and rear footrests ensure passenger comfort. A bright front light and integrated full-color LCD give you data and visibility day or night.

Color Variants

The palette keeps it classy—subdued but stylish tones make this ride ideal for both morning commutes and Sunday rides with the kids. It’s the kind of design you’ll appreciate not just when you're riding it, but when it’s parked too. Rugged tires, anti-rust chain, and a crankset designed for durability make it ready for anything urban terrain throws at it.

Pros and Cons:

Pros

  • UL-certified Samsung battery with waterproof casing
  • 28 mph top speed for fast urban travel
  • 750W motor with 1000W peak for solid power
  • Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors
  • Folding frame and cargo rack for urban practicality

Cons

  • No rear suspension—could be rough on long trails
  • Heavier than some compact e-bikes at 65 lbs
  • Limited color variety available
  • Full assembly requires minor setup

It’s quick off the line, holds its charge through a full day’s errands, and carries passengers or groceries without compromise. At $1,099 (approx. £855 / €1,000), it rides above expectations—making it a solid pick for city-dwellers looking to ditch the car without sacrificing utility or ride quality.
