Mokwheel Basalt 2.0

What the Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 is built for

The Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 750 W (1,100 W peak) motor, 90 Nm of torque and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 941 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 80 miles (129 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 weighs 80 lb (36.3 kg), carries up to 450 lb (204 kg) including the rider, uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal and is rated IPX7 against water.

In the United States the Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 sells for $1,700, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 may be ridden

Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) and Class 3 (pedal assist up to 28 mph) under the three-class system most US states use. Class 3 e-bikes are kept off some bike paths and trails, and several states set a minimum age and require a helmet for them. Riders can switch between classes in the settings, and the class it is ridden in decides where it may go.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit, its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 safety certification
