What does riding the A2B feel like?
Take an A2B electric bike for a spin and you'll feel it immediately - the freedom that comes from being able to choose to pedal or cruise under power. Everything's easier, more fluid and more fun. Short cut or scenic route, now there's a new way to travel. The ride has silent acceleration, so even when you're at full throttle, it's the design that speaks volumes, not the motor.
How fast does the A2B Metro go and how far?
The A2B motor can assist you up to a top speed of 20mph without pedaling (depending on rider weight and terrain) and take you up to 20 miles on a fully-charged battery (also depending on rider weight and terrain.). If you chose to pedal to extend your range, the A2B Metro comes with a Shimano Alivio with 7-speed twist shifter giving you plenty of pedaling options no matter the terrain you're enjoying.
