It is equipped with a 1000w VPO 2 Speed Automatic Shifting Hub-Drive Motor, which provides robust power and eliminates common e-bike failure points. The bike boasts an impressive 200 Nm of torque, allowing it to tackle [challenging terrains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycultra) with ease. Its industry-leading 30Ah battery option offers an estimated range of up to 90 miles on a single charge, subject to real-world conditions such as weight, terrain, and temperature. The Apex HD’s modular frame design allows for a high degree of customization with a variety of accessories, and its 118 mounting points offer extensive options for personalization. Safety and durability are also paramount, with the bike meeting relevant safety standards and featuring a UL-certified battery. The pricing for the Apex HD ranges from $3,958.68 to $4,750.68, depending on the configuration and accessories chosen. The bike is available for pre-order as of May 15, 2024, and is expected to start shipping on June 1, 2024. Customers can opt for monthly payments with Affirm on orders over $50, providing a flexible payment option. It’s important to note that the range estimate depends on various factors and that QuietKat reserves the right to replace any part on their bikes with a suitable alternative of equal quality due to supply chain constraints.
