Integrated Cockpit

Handlebar

The handlebar and stem are where your hands steer the bike. Their width and length set how upright or stretched out you sit.

Supernova Custom Cockpit Integrated

Headlight

The headlight lets you see the road and be seen. Fitted to the bike, it runs from the bike's battery or its own.

Bridge Sport

Saddle

The saddle and seatpost carry your weight. The height of the seatpost sets your pedalling position.

Vado 3 frame

Frame

The frame is the bike's backbone: every other part is fixed to it. Its material and shape decide its weight and how it feels to ride.

Brakes

Brakes slow the bike. Disc brakes squeeze a rotor fixed to the wheel hub; rim brakes squeeze the wheel rim itself.

Shimano CUES · 11 speeds

Drivetrain

The drivetrain turns your pedalling into motion: the cranks, the chain, the cassette and the derailleur that changes gear.

Specialized Hemishpere Flat Resistant · 66 mm

Tyres

Tyres are the bike's only contact with the ground. Their width and tread decide grip, comfort and rolling speed.

Vado 3 Custom Seatstay Mounted MIK HD

Rear rack

The rear rack carries bags or a basket over the back wheel. Its maximum load, in kilograms, is set by the maker.

Specialized 3.1 Motor

Motor

The motor adds its power to the rider's effort. It sits either at the cranks or in the rear wheel hub; its torque, in newton-metres, tells how hard it can push on a climb.

Specialized Turbo X2

Battery

The battery stores the energy the motor uses. Its capacity is given in watt-hours (Wh); how far it lasts depends on the rider, the terrain and the assist level.
