This particular commuter e-bike is equipped with a [rear hub motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialized-vado-sl-2-alloy-40) that is more than capable of churning out 350 watts of power, with riders able to choose from between a series of five power modes depending on their environment. The Bonc Bike's electric drive also offers power assist capabilities when the rider is going at speeds up to 35 km/h. Perhaps the most eyecatching feature of this commuter-ebike is the fact that it comes with a [range-expanding battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eleglide-c1) that can extend the e-bike's range up to a total of 137 assisted kilometers. Set to be available from February 2022, this commuter e-bike will appeal to urban customers who don't want to worry about having to juice up their e-bike at regular intervals.
