It is powered by an integrated PowerTube battery, providing a balanced ride quality and significant range for multi-destination trips.

Bontrager Connection Wheelset

The wheelset features double-wall alloy rims designed to withstand the torque and weight of a powerful trekking e-bike. Having 32 stainless steel spokes ensures the wheel build stays true even when frequently encountering rough city streets or expansion joints.
