Basis Protocol Hybrid Electric Bike, 7Ah, 700c Wheel - Graphite Blue

A welcomed, well rounded addition to our home-baked Basis brand, and it's one of our favourites to date! Formed around a lightweight Alloy 17" frame, it's hardtail rigidity at the rear provides a solid base for pace, while the Suntour suspension up front provides comfort, control when it comes to stubborn terrain, and general versatility. Combining 700c deep-V wheels with chunky CST hybrid tyres offers every benefit of a fast paced commuter, while also leaning toward a very capable trekking bike. Neatly disguised within the frame sits a 7Ah 36v tubular battery, an immensely popular feature on our previous models, probably because it eliminates bulk and nearly all remnants of electric running gear, provides a balanced centre of gravity, and keeps the battery secure and protected. Controlling your power assistance level, and monitoring your battery level, we have a large LCD handlebar mounted display. Designed to fill the shoes of a dependable daily rider, Basis have kitted it with mechanical disc brakes front & rear, and a Shimano 6 speed gearing system. Although it's not a thorough-bred of either style, the Protocol mixes just the right amount of each to make a pleasant 2-wheeled cocktail. Extra Information: This Electric Bike will be SUPPLIED ASSEMBLED complete with charger and everything you see included. Upon arrival, simple attachment of the pedals and the straightening of the handlebar will be required.
