RIDING'TIMES Z8
Verdict
A moped-style cruiser: 1.5 kW, 28 mph, comfy and simple. The chill one — for riders who'd rather glide than send it.
Motor & speed
Power comes from a 750W nominal / 1,500W peak rear hub motor putting down 80 Nm of torque. Top speed is 32 mph. Ride modes: Class 1–3 capable speed settings.
Battery & range
It carries a 48V 15.6Ah lithium (Pro variant: dual 48V 15.6Ah) battery. Manufacturer-rated range is 25–37 mi throttle / 50–75 mi pedal assist — expect less if you ride it hard, uphill, or in the cold. A full charge takes 7–9 hours.
Build, suspension & brakes
The bike weighs 89 lbs with battery. Suspension: Front fork + rear double spring suspension. Braking is handled by dual 160mm disc brakes + electronic brake. It rolls on 20"×4.0" fat tires. Max rider load is 220 lbs.
