The Hiko Ascent electric bike is a great choice for taller riders, standing 5 foot 10 inches to 6 foot 3 inches. It features a large 19 - inch frame and 27.5 - inch wheels, along with wide, knobbly tyres and 100mm Suntour XCM suspension. This setup ensures a sturdy and smooth ride, whether you're hitting the trails or commuting to work quickly. The rear rack can hold two Hiko pannier bags, making it a highly versatile commuter. Safety is a priority with a rear brake light on all Hiko Bikes. When you activate the brake levers, it alerts those behind you. Front and rear integrated lights automatically turn on in the dark. Powered by a robust Ananda 120Nm 300W motor, it's one of the fastest hill - climbers on the market. With throttle assist, you can reach speeds up to 35km/hr, and with regular assist, it's 45km/hr+. Paired with a 672Wh lithium battery, it offers a range of 55 - 110km.
Using the Hiko Ascent electric bike is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. You can use the throttle for an extra boost when you need it, or rely on the pedal - assist mode. When riding, remember to activate the brakes gently to avoid sudden stops. The rear brake light will automatically alert others when you're slowing down. In the dark, the front and rear lights will come on by themselves, so you don't have to worry about visibility. For maintenance, keep the tyres properly inflated to ensure a smooth ride. Check the battery regularly and recharge it when the range gets low. Clean the bike after rides, especially if you've been on muddy trails. Also, make sure to lubricate the chain from time to time to keep it running smoothly.
