Designed exclusively for the NZ market, the Caribou electric bike is your ideal companion for city rides and adventures on less - traveled roads. It's powered by a 300w rear hub drive and comes with a 480Wh removable battery. Enjoy a stress - free ride with the included throttle, reaching assist speeds up to 32km/hr. Or, if you want to save battery, rely on the well - tuned pedal assist for an electric boost. This bike is fitted with high - quality components. The reliable Shimano gearing ensures smooth shifting, the 100mm front fork with lockout can handle steep hills while smoothing bumps, and the powerful hydraulic disc brakes with electric cut - off provide excellent stopping power. The Caribou also features a perfectly integrated rear rack, mudguards, 6v LED lights, a rear - mounted kickstand, and a super - soft saddle. You can choose between the standard top tube model with fast - rolling 29' wheels or the ST model. The ST model has grippy 27.5” wheels and a low top tube, making it easy to get on and off and providing extra stability when sliding forward off the saddle.
Using your Caribou electric bike is a breeze. First, make sure the 480Wh removable battery is fully charged. You can use the throttle for an easy ride or switch to pedal assist to save battery. The Shimano gearing allows you to adjust the speed according to the road conditions. When going up steep hills, lock the front fork to get better control. Remember, the hydraulic disc brakes have an electric cut - off, so they'll stop the motor when you brake. As for maintenance, keep the battery in a cool and dry place. Check the tire pressure regularly, and clean the bike after riding on muddy roads. If you're not using the bike for a long time, store it in a covered area to protect it from the elements. Also, have the bike serviced by a professional every once in a while to keep it in top shape.
