Pedal. It charges.

A city bicycle that banks energy while you ride, and lets you choose how much.

Pedal 10 km. Bank 3 km of boost.

Pedalled in charge mode10 km

Banked as full assist~3 km

Measured on real roads, not in a lab. The rate barely moves whether you ride relaxed or brisk, so a 10 km commute in charge mode banks the boost for the hills on the way home. At lower assist levels that banked 3 km stretches further.

A generator in the front wheel. A battery in the frame.

The front wheel carries a generator. Turning it stores charge in a battery integrated into the frame, and the drive motor spends that charge again whenever you ask for assist. You choose how much the generator takes.

Level 1 is light on the legs and gathers charge slowly. Level 5 asks for real effort and fills the battery faster. Switch as you ride. Only the level 5 figure is a factory rating; the rest are scaled from it.

What the numbers actually mean

Pedal 10 km and you bank about 3 km of full assist. An hour in charge mode returns 8 to 13 percent of the pack, measured on real roads rather than in a lab. The drive motor draws up to 250W while the generator returns 20 to 33W, so riding extends your range and cuts how often you reach for a socket; it does not replace the charger. We publish the measured figures because every dealer does this arithmetic anyway, and because the honest number is still a good one.
