[New Features]
1. Long-life battery with approximately double the life of conventional models
The life-span of conventional batteries (replacement period) was between 350 and 450 recharges, but the newly-developed battery has double this life-span to between 700 and 900* recharges. This means that the total distance that can be cycled with a single battery has been doubled, which provides an economical purchase from the point of view that the extra life represents a full replacement battery with conventional models. The shape of the battery has also been upgraded to enable it to be connected and disconnected with even greater simplicity.
* This figure is a yardstick. The conditions under which this yardstick were established involve an annual recharge count of 200 cycles when used in the standard pattern at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
(1 cycle = a full charge after the battery has been allowed to run out.)
2. Extended warranty on major parts.
The hereto one year warranty has been extended to two years for the battery and to three years for the frame, the front forks and the drive unit in order to provide peace of mind in the event of trouble.
3. A new digital main switch equipped with functions that display the remaining
battery capacity and speed
Battery capacity is displayed in units of 10% down until 20% remains, and then in units of 1% for the remaining 20%. The switch alternates between this and the speed display to eradicate anxieties over remaining battery capacity and estimated time of arrival to provide an even higher sense of security.
4. Newly-designed frame incorporating improved functionality and design levels.
Two different types of frame have been developed with the emphasis placed on function and design.
(1) Low step-though area to enable pedaling even when wearing tight skirts The new U-shape frame with an elegant S-form step- though area used on the Assista Lithium DX.
(2) The many wires common to motor-assisted bicycles are smartly hidden from view inside the frame.
A staggard frame with wires built in to increase sportiness used on the A.C.L Royal 8.
These two frames have been designed to prevent warping, and they are extremely durable with increased rigidity of approximately 30%* over normal models.
* Comparison of normal Bridgestone Class 18 frames.
5. Newly-developed lightweight aluminum housing driver unit.
Approximately 10% lighter than conventional drive units with aluminum housings while maintaining normal levels of durability, power, and low-noise.
[Main Features]
1. [S.P.E.C.3] and [S.P.E.C.8] providing finely-tuned assistance in alignment with the gear
Uses the S.P.E.C.3 and S.P.E.C.8 (Shift Position Electric Control with 3 or 8 built-in speeds) functions to provide superior assistance power. The speed sensor enables the drive unit to detect the gear and speed.
This controls the ultimate level of assistance power in alignment with the gear.
Simply change gears in accordance with road conditions, and this function will provide the ultimate cycling experience by providing the maximum amount of assistance power.
2. The assistance mode can be selected from the "Auto-Eco Mode Plus" in accordance with the cycling scenario.
Automatically detects the amount of pressure applied to the pedals in order to automatically control the assistance power. This provides the perfect support by applying power when needed and by saving battery power when not needed under all conditions, including when riding up steep gradients, when riding into head winds and when on extended journeys. In addition, it is also possible to select either the [Strong Mode] for increased power and the [Standard Mode] that makes the best use of both power and distance.
3. Complete with three-year theft compensation coverage
Motor-assisted bicycles come with a three-year theft compensation package.
In the event of the bicycle being stolen within three years of purchase, 70% of the standard cash retail price will be discounted off a new bicycle.
