The range is retro bikes contained within the rear hub made from [Zehus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detroit-bikes-electric-dbe). It also includes elements such as the battery, a GPS tracker, Bluetooth connectivity, the motor itself, and the torque sensor. Additionally, the motor has a peak output of 250W. Although the series has lack gears, there is a high level of mechanical simplicity as it ships at a single speed. The bikes also have a [pedal assist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/priority-current-plus) incorporated that pushes riders to a speed of 15 miles per hour with 40Nm of torque.
