It has a 60 volt lithium-ion battery that should last riders over 60 miles per charge. The DRT’s battery pack has been made easily interchangeable for those who need an extended range. Re-fueling the battery should take about three hours.
A bike computer is mounted at the center of the handlebars, allowing the rider to control ride modes, gear settings, and more, apart from reading data on trip functions, speed, and battery life.That aluminium frame is foldable, and the wheels are quick-release, enabling the bike to fold up into a cube under 4ft square and 2ft wide.
