The Hiko Ascent electric bike is a real gem for taller riders, standing at 5 foot 10 inches to 6 foot 3 inches. With a large 19 - inch frame and 27.5 - inch wheels wrapped in wide, knobbly tyres, and a 100mm Suntour XCM suspension, it offers a stable and comfortable ride on trails or during a quick commute. The rear rack can hold two Hiko pannier bags, making it super versatile. Safety is a top priority with a rear brake light that alerts others when you slow down or stop, and front and rear integrated lights that come on automatically in the dark. Powered by a robust Ananda 120Nm 300W motor, it's one of the fastest hill - climbers around, reaching throttle assist speeds up to 35km/hr and assist speeds over 45km/hr. Paired with a 672Wh lithium battery, it provides a range of 55 - 110km.
Using the Hiko Ascent electric bike is a breeze. Just turn on the power and you're ready to go. You can use the throttle for an extra boost or rely on the motor's assist while pedaling. When you need to stop, squeeze the brake levers gently and the rear brake light will automatically come on to warn others. For a commute, simply attach your Hiko pannier bags to the rear rack. When it gets dark, the front and rear lights will turn on by themselves. As for maintenance, keep the bike clean and dry, especially after riding on wet trails. Check the tyre pressure regularly to ensure a smooth ride. Also, make sure to charge the 672Wh battery properly. Don't overcharge it and avoid leaving it in extremely hot or cold conditions.
