Brakes

• Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Magura AT-2 or Tektro HD-E3520 – Reliable, strong stopping power.

Drivetrain

• Shimano 8-Speed (Altus) – Entry-mid level, dependable for commuting.

What It's Best For

• Errand Running – Rear rack, fenders, and throttle help carry loads and stay clean.

• Hilly Terrain – 60Nm of torque and torque sensing make inclines manageable.

Things to Consider

• Weight: At 67 lbs, it’s not easy to lift up stairs or transport without a ramp or ebike-specific rack.

• Motor Voltage (36V): Efficient for range, but slightly less powerful than 48V systems in aggressive terrain.

• Throttle Top Speed: Class 2, so you're capped at 20 mph (unless unlocked, if allowed locally).
