Motor and assistance
The brushless rear-hub motor is rated at 250 W and produces 45 N·m of torque. It provides assistance for everyday riding and moderate climbs. Motor assistance cuts off at 25 km/h, although that figure alone is not enough to determine whether the bike complies with all local regulations.
Battery and range
The 36 V, 13 Ah battery has a capacity of 468 Wh. It is integrated into the frame but can be removed for charging away from the bike. That can be useful in an apartment or where there is no power socket near the bike.
According to the manufacturer, the range is approximately 30 to 40 km, rising to as much as 60 km in the most economical mode. Actual range depends on the terrain, rider weight and riding style, so those figures are not a guarantee for every trip.
Weight, load capacity and rider height
The GT900 weighs 26 kg, which is worth considering if you need to carry it up stairs or put it into storage. The manufacturer states a load capacity of 150 kg and recommends the bike for riders between 156 and 185 cm tall. Before choosing it, check whether the bike's dimensions suit the rider and what the manufacturer includes in the load limit.
Gearing, display and NFC
A 21-speed Shimano gearset lets the rider adjust their pedalling for climbs and flat stretches.
The handlebar-mounted LCD shows speed, assistance level and battery status. The bike also has a front light and a horn.
According to the product description, the bike can be locked and unlocked without a key by holding an NFC card near the display. The description does not specify exactly what this function locks, so it should not be treated as a substitute for a mechanical anti-theft lock.
Suspension and brakes
The front suspension fork has a hydraulic lockout, and there is a spring shock absorber at the rear. The suspension helps absorb uneven surfaces, while the front fork's lockout gives the rider another adjustment option.
There are mechanical disc brakes at both the front and rear. Stopping distance depends on conditions, speed and the condition of the brakes.
Who is the GT900 suitable for?
The GT900 combines assistance up to 25 km/h, a wide choice of gears and suspension for riding on different surfaces. Its removable battery makes charging away from the bike easier. Alongside range and recommended rider height, consider its 26 kg weight, particularly if you will need to carry it regularly.
