Riding'times GT54 Pro

Riding'times built the GT54 Pro for riders who want more punch in a compact mini-moto frame: a 1500 W rated motor that peaks at 3000 W and makes 338 N·m. A 60V 25Ah battery supplies 1500 Wh for pedal-assist or throttle riding.

Highlights

• 1500 W rated, 3000 W peak. Power runs through a geared rear hub with 5.2:1 internal gearing.
• Speed that starts low. Out of the box it is held to 25 km/h; the brand quotes 80 km/h with full performance set.
• 60V 25Ah battery. 1500 Wh, rated by the brand for roughly 40–60 km on throttle only or up to 100 km with pedal assist.
• Adjustable hydraulic front suspension. 211 mm (8.3 in) of travel, with a rear shock behind it.
• Hydraulic brakes with EABS. Front and rear discs plus electronic brake assist.
• Mini-moto build. An A3 carbon steel frame with PA66 reinforced plastic parts, on 60/100-14 front and 60/100-12 rear motorcycle-style tires.

Who it suits

Newer riders who want to start at a low speed setting, and experienced riders who want serious power in a compact frame, on dirt, gravel and uneven ground. See how fast e-bikes go.

Good to know

• Its 1500 W motor is above the 500 W limit for e-bikes in Ontario, Quebec, B.C. and Alberta, so it is sold for private-property use. See the rules by province.
• 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).
• The brand lists the maximum load as 100 kg in its spec list and 120 kg in its FAQ; go by 100 kg.
