Jasion RetroVolt Pro

Retro moped styling meets a long dual saddle on the Jasion RetroVolt Pro, with passenger footrests and a reinforced rear rack so a second rider can come along. Under the look sit a 2000 W peak motor, a 1040 Wh battery and full suspension on 20 x 4.0 in fat tires.

Highlights

• Hub motor: 2000 W at peak and 99 N·m of torque; Jasion does not give a continuous rating.
• 1040 Wh battery: 52V 20Ah, rated by the brand for up to 145 km; charging takes 5–6 h.
• Speed: pedal assist steps up from 16 km/h on the lowest level to 61 km/h on the highest, by the brand's figures, and a half-twist throttle sits on the bar.
• Full suspension: a hydraulic front fork and a Horst-link rear, both with lock and adjustment.
• Brakes, gears and tires: dual hydraulic discs, a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain with a cadence sensor, and puncture-resistant 20 x 4.0 in fat tires.
• Load and lights: a 150 kg maximum load and a 37.2 kg bike weight, plus a headlight, turn signals, parking lights, fenders and a colour display.

Who it suits

Riders who like the look of a moped, want room for a passenger on short trips, and mix city streets with gravel or dirt roads (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).
• Jasion's product description quotes a shorter range of up to 121 km; its spec table says 145 km.
