Assistance varies with rider load, terrain and battery state.

Every figure below is labelled with where it comes from, so a manufacturer’s claim never reads as a measurement.
Assistance varies with rider load, terrain and battery state.
Range varies with speed, hills, rider load, temperature and assist level.
Brake condition, tire pressure and wet pavement affect stopping distance.
Check stairs and vehicle loading if the bike needs frequent lifting.
Mechanical gear choice remains important for cadence and drivetrain efficiency.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One number would be easier to print and harder to trust. Here is what the manufacturer claims, and what actually changes it.

Unedited reviews from riders across the Lower Mainland — and a few who crossed the border just to see us.
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.
