'RADON,' the bike manufacturer famous for its high-quality German bikes, debuted the 'DEFT 9.0,' an adult-sized electric mountain bike. The DEFT 9.0 has a large 750 Wh battery with a Shimano motor that delivers a range well beyond 50 miles under certain riding conditions. The bike has a 12-speed gear system that allows it to control smoothly whether on flat ground, an incline, or riding downhill.
The RADON DEFT 9.0 boasts a drive manufactured by 'Bosch,' a leading bicycle manufacturer. This drive delivers 85 Nm of torque and 250 watts of wheel support which allows the rider to put in as much - or as little - effort as they like while riding. This is perfect for cyclists who want a little extra workout combined with the convenience of an electric mountain bike.
