: The Y5 features a 27.5-inch steel frame finished in a light Pista Green hue,
adorned with non-peeloff water-transfer decals for long-lasting aesthetics. Its
front suspension fork (27.5T, 100HT Disc CP/BK) helps soften bumps, while the
threadless headset and sturdy alloy stem offer reliable handling and alignment.

"
"Strong & sturdy e-bike, designed to last."
: Under the frame sits a High Torque BLDC 36 V / 250 W motor, paired with a single-speed drivetrain featuring a noiseless 18T freewheel and 42T chain wheel.
Assisted Pedal-Assist (PAS) can push you up to 24.9 km/h via throttle, with a
claimed range of 55-60 km on PAS and 50-55 km on throttle.

"Equipped with HYM motor for seamless power delivery."
: Riding comfort is prioritized with a cushioned, enhanced-comfort saddle and
anti-skid plastic pedals with reflectors to keep you safe and secure. The
ergonomic 660 mm matt-black steel handlebars and well-fitted seat post complete
the rider-friendly setup.

"
"Comfort where it matters—seat and ride."
: The Y5 sports 160 mm mechanical disc brakes both front and rear,
complemented by e-brake levers (47 PDD 2PM 300 L BK) for responsive stopping
power—a crucial safety feature at its top throttle-assisted speeds. Steering
stability is supported by the solid threadless head set and alloy stem, ensuring
confidence in turns.

"
"Disc brakes you can trust."
: Rims are double-wall alloy, 27.5″ × 19, 36-hole in black, matched with tubed
27.5″ × 2.40″ nylon gumwall tyres on sturdy spokes (14 SWG, 12-long,
zinc-plated)—machine-strengthened for urban roads. The saddle’s enhanced
cushioning helps keep longer rides fatigue-free.
