Practicality

Cycling mileage is a very important thing for camping because it is very necessary to choose a large-capacity battery in advance when the charging method in wild camping is not very portable. The capacity of the battery determines the distance traveled. The XF900 is equipped with a large-capacity battery of 48V17Ah, which can help you drive a distance of 62miles at the farthest. Batteries with small capacity can easily run out of power, especially in the case of inconvenient charging in the wild, which will quickly limit your travel. Frequent recharging also consumes time and energy.

The United Kingdom has clear restrictions on electric mopeds, and the power must be below 250W, otherwise, it will be classified as a motorcycle or moped that needs to be registered and taxed and requires a driver's license. Therefore, the power of Cyrusher electric bicycles is limited to 250W Bafang. For better travel, the models sold by Cyrusher have been modified to comply with road riding regulations and help you pass more freely.
