Specifications
While theThe RUSH/CTY Step-Thru model has the same battery, single-speed drivetrain and top speed as the MOSH/CTY, Yahoo's Nathan Ingram says the bike misses the standard top crossbar. A 1.5inch LED screen helps the rider determine the ride mode, and also comprises an odometer, speed, headlight status, and battery indicator. The screen feature is available on all bikes except the MOSH/CITY.
The Verge also shares some details about the mid-drive motors. Brose, a 110-year-old German company created these motors that are capable of dishing out 90 Newton-meters and 60 foot-pounds of torque when engaged. This makes it easy to climb steep roads and hills. There are four levels — eco, tour, sport, and boost. In addition, there will also be an app that can be paired via Bluetooth to provide rider date. The app releases in spring.
