It is a pedal-activated (senses speed, not torque) model with a quiet, compact front hub motor, with far better performance 'where the rubber meets the road' than its nominal 180W rating may suggest. Its 24V/10AH, lockable, quick-release Li-Ion battery is placed in the rear rack and recharges within 5 hours. Its light weight (50 lb with battery), 24 speed derailleur, good level bicycle componentry and integration contribute to a bicycle-akin feel and handling, makes the World swift (17 mph shut-off) and capable on moderate terrain and agreeable to pedal also in power-off mode.
