Product Description
The new Alation Mid Drive features a powerful frame integrated torque sensing motor with up 864 watts of motor output, paired with our in-frame 48v Samsung battery for centered weight distribution, better balance and increased electric drive efficiency for a longer, more comfortable ride.
Streamlined Design with Low Center of Gravity
A comfortable ride and superior handling comes from proper weight placement. Strong, light wheels, frame integrated motor and battery are mounted under the rider giving you comfort and unmatched handling at cruising speed and around turns.
Ultra- smooth torque sensing motor activation
The 5-level assist system detects your forces against the pedal and multiples your power through the torque sensing mid drive motor. There is no need to control a throttle, all electronics function at the push of a button. Riders can simply pedal, concentrate and enjoy the ride while sensing the motor performance.
Samsung battery cells rated for high power and long life
The Volton Alation demands powerful advanced lithium-ion chemistry to go fast and power through any condition. With an on-board battery management system (BMS) for superior performance and long life, these lightweight, high capacity battery packs, BMS and chargers ensure a long lasting and reliable source of power.
Pedal Assist System
The standard selectable 3-speed or 5-speed system detects your pedal cadence and adds motor power up to your desired level of assist. There is no need to control a throttle, all electronics function at the push of a button. Riders can simply pedal, concentrate and enjoy the ride while sensing the motor performance.
Bright integrated LED headlights
Light up your path and let others know you are there so you can safely ride at night.
