The Interceptor comes with a 749-watt rear-hub motor and 52-volt 10.5 Amp battery as standard, with the opportunity to upgrade to a 52-volt 17.5 Amp battery. The battery slots underneath the rear-rack and not the downtube, making this potentially a more comfortable option for slight riders.

There are five ride levels with a maximum assist of 20 mph. If you need to get up to speed quickly or just don’t feel like pedaling, a turn of the wrist will engage the throttle (making it a Class-2 ebike). The LCD display screen is fairly large and tracks your battery and ride-assist levels, as well as speed, mileage and more. A Shimano 7-speed shifter pairs with an Acera rear derailleur, while Star Union disc brakes provide the stopping power. Front and rear lights come standard, but not fenders. The taillight flashes when you brake, adding a nice safety element.
