The bike's driving modes stem from its '[Fazua Ride 60](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skitch-gx-axs)' motor, which is named after the 60Nm of torque that it outputs under maximum performance conditions. This motor boasts a 450W power output, and features a riding mode designed for uphill, for off-roading, and for flat roads. Aside from its motor, the Urta Hybrid boasts a 430 Wh battery with an optional 210 Wh range extender. While Wilier did not make explicit claims regarding the range of the e-bike, as it will vary greatly based on riding conditions, the range extender will add roughly 50% more range to the bike, allowing for more peace of mind during long rides. The Wilier Urta Hybrid can be purchased online from Wilier at an MSRP of $6,900 USD in its base configuration, ranging up to $12,360 USD for a fully-configured model.
