Riding'times GT33

Cafe-racer looks meet cargo duty on the Riding'times GT33, built for riders who carry a lot: an elongated seat, a reinforced A3 carbon steel frame and a 150 kg maximum load. A 500 W rated motor that peaks at 1350 W pulls it along, fed by a removable 48V 27Ah battery with room for a second.

Highlights

• 500 W rated, 1350 W peak. Cadence-sensor pedal assist and a throttle. It ships in a 25 km/h speed-limit mode; full performance, which the brand puts at 55 km/h, is set from the display menu.
• 48V 27Ah battery. 1296 Wh, removable and listed by the brand as UL 2849 compliant. The brand quotes 80–161 km of range, and a charge takes 8.5–9 h.
• Full suspension. A 20 in double-shoulder hydraulic front fork and a rear shock.
• Fat tires, solid weight. 20 x 4.0 in tires on 7074 aluminum rims; the bike weighs 47.6 kg.
