UL 2849 & UL 2271 Certified
All of our bikes have been designed to meet UL standards for safety from day one. And now, every Commute Model 1 Step-thru eBike manufactured on/after October 1, 2023, bears the UL2849 Certification for safety and comes equipped with UL2271 Certified batteries.
-
Throttle Safely
No accidental bumps to the throttle throwing you off or launching without you. The throttle is designed to only function once you are seated and moving on the bike. Give yourself a kick or just about half a pedal stroke to enable the use of the throttle.
-
500 watt hub motor
Plenty of torque for climbing hills, even when you're carrying a laptop or groceries.
-
60+ mile range
Enough for commuting to work or school without needing to charge during the day. Range varies based on conditions and usage patterns.
-
Sleek, hidden battery
652.8 Wh lithium-ion battery integrates in the down tube for a stealthy look, and locks with a key for additional security. Built with premium LG cells. Batteries manufactured on/after October 1, 2023, are now UL2271 Certified. See here for more information.
-
3 Amp fast charger
Recharge 50% faster than competing eBikes - that means you can get a full charge for the evening commute during the work day.
-
Digital LCD display with PIN lock
Monitor your speed, distance, battery charge, and other data on the high-resolution handlebar display. Set an optional PIN code for additional security.
-
Integrated headlight
Integrated headlight is powered by the eBike battery and controlled from the handlebar remote. There's also a rack-mounted rear red reflector - add 3 AAA battery to turn it into a powered taillight for night rides.

Component Highlights
-
Suspension fork
Front suspension absorbs bumps from rough pavement or gravel roads.
-
Suspension seatpost and padded saddle
Riding with a sore rear end is no fun! We've included a wide, padded comfort saddle; plus a suspension seatpost to absorb road shock.
-
2.6" wide, eBike-rated tires
Commute Model 1 sports some of the widest tires in its class - that means more traction and rider comfort. They're punctured resistant and feature reflective sidewalls for enhanced visibility.
-
Microshift 8 speed drivetrain
You'll always have the right gear for uphill, flats, headwinds, or tailwinds. Wide-range 11-32 tooth cassette offers very low gear for climbing hills. There's even a built-in cover to keep your pants leg away from chain grease.
-
All-metal fenders
Durable all-metal fenders keep you dry in wet weather and road spray off your bike.
-
Kickstand
Easy to park at home, at the store, or office.
-
Powerful hydraulic disc brakes
Faster, heavier eBikes demand more stopping power. Commute Model 1 includes hydraulic disc brakes with oversized rotors, plus motor-interrupt safety switches.
-
Built-in rear rack
Easily carry groceries, a laptop, or change of clothes on the included rear rack.
-
Adjustable stem
No need to hunch over. Adjustable-angle stem allows you to easily raise and lower the handlebar for comfort.
