Jasion Patrol

Built like a dirt bike rather than a bicycle, the Jasion Patrol runs on its throttle alone, with a 4000 W peak rear hub motor, motorcycle-style 70/100 tires and long-travel suspension. It is for riders who want a strong, motorbike-style machine for dirt, gravel and rough trails.

Highlights

• Rear hub motor: 4000 W at peak with 145 Nm of torque; Jasion lists no continuous rating.
• 1560 Wh removable battery: 52V 30Ah built from 21700 lithium cells, rated by the brand for up to 80 km on the throttle. A full charge takes 7–8 h, and fast charging goes from 15 to 80% in 3.5 h.
• Soft-tail suspension: a 150 mm hydraulic fork with lockout up front and a hydraulic shock at the rear.
• Tires and brakes: extra-thick dirt bike tires, 70/100-19 at the front and 70/100-17 at the back, with hydraulic discs on 180 mm rotors.
• Speed and load: a top speed of 64 km/h by the brand's figure and a 150 kg maximum load; the bike weighs 52.2 kg.
• Keyless start: tap the NFC card on the colour LCD to switch on (a password works too); a headlight, turn signals, a brake light, a long seat and a rear rack come fitted.

Who it suits

Riders who want a dirt-bike feel with real suspension travel for trails, gravel roads and rough ground, and who are happy to ride without pedalling. Jasion sizes it for riders from 5'7" to 6'7" (see how fast e-bikes go).

Good to know

• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• Throttle only: there is no pedal assist, even though a pair of pedals comes in the box.
