Thunder City RX Long-Range Urban Commuter E-Bike

The Thunder City RX electric bike is the upgraded road-focused model in Thunder’s city range. It combines a Bafang G02 500W rear hub motor with an 840Wh Samsung battery, hydraulic disc brakes and an upright step-over commuter frame.

Large Battery for Longer Paved Rides

The 48V 17.5Ah battery is listed for up to 120 km under favourable pedal-assist conditions. That figure is a manufacturer maximum rather than a guaranteed commute distance; speed, hills, starts, rider load, weather, throttle use and tire pressure all affect real-world range.

Hydraulic Braking and Familiar Gearing

Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are the City RX’s key control upgrade over the standard City. The MOZO suspension fork, 26-inch Kenda tires and Shimano Tourney 7-speed drivetrain keep the ride comfortable and familiar on city streets and shared paths.

City RX vs Thunder City

Choose the RX if its 840Wh battery and hydraulic brakes match your priorities. The Thunder City offers multiple battery choices and mechanical brakes at a simpler specification. See all Thunder e-bikes, browse electric bikes in Vancouver, or arrange e-bike service.

I drove all the way from Seattle to bring my daughter's scooter to ProMechBC and I could not be more pleased with both the repairs and the customer service. I will definitely be bringing the scooter North of the border when it needs some love.

Recently had an accident with my Apollo Go — luckily nothing major was damaged, but it still needed some repair and replacement parts. Service was great, and I got my scooter back within a week. :D

The service was incredibly fast, professional and efficient — they fixed my scooter wheel quickly and the quality of the repair was outstanding. Honest, reliable, professional and fast.
