The Hikobike Ascent is an all - round electric bike that shines on weekdays for commuting to work and on weekends for riding gravel roads. It features a Dapu mid - mounted motor with 100Nm of torque and a thumb throttle for instant acceleration. You can choose between a 500Wh standard battery or a 624Wh one for longer rides. The 10 - speed Shimano Deore drivetrain works with hydraulic disc brakes with power cutoff, ensuring safety. The 100mm travel Suntour XCM fork offers a smooth ride. With lights, mudguards, chainguard, and a rear carrier rack, it's great for daily use. The lower top tube allows for safe stops in traffic. Designed for New Zealand riders, it's the ideal ebike for all your needs.

Using your Hikobike Ascent is easy. Just turn on the power, use the thumb throttle for quick starts, and you can pedal as well for more exercise. When you need to stop, the hydraulic disc brakes will work effectively, and the power cutoff feature will ensure the motor stops first. For long - distance rides, consider using the 624Wh battery. Always check your battery level before heading out. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bike clean, especially after riding on muddy or dirty roads. Lubricate the chain regularly to keep the drivetrain running smoothly. Also, check the brakes and tire pressure frequently for your safety. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
