Frame
The AM GT ebike frame is made of aluminum alloy. This material is the preferred choice for lightweight, high strength and good corrosion resistance properties.
For those of you who are familiar with DYU, KNIGHT PRO and KNIGHT GT, the AM GT electric bicycle adopts a similar frame design with a deliberately crafted groove below the holding area for a more natural carrying posture. It can be easily brought up to the MRT or bus.
The front stem is foldable. After folding, it measures 0.3 m in width. You can easily fit up to 2 units in a regular sized car boot. Unlike DYU, it comes with an adjustable seat to cater to riders of different heights.
Motor
This ebike uses a 48V 240W DC brushless geared motor. Unlike other 36V ebikes with non geared motor, the AM GT adopts a 48V system and geared motor for improved torque. Therefore this electric bicycle is suitable for heavier riders or riding in areas with many slopes.
There are 3 levels of electric assistance mode to choose from, depending on the riding condition.
Battery
The AM-GT power-assisted bicycle (PAB) adopts an in-built battery using 18650 LG cells. The advantage of such design is that the waterproofing is better and poor battery connection issues are minimised.
The 48V 17.5 AH LG li-ion battery is able to assist the rider up to 100 km per full charge.
Wheels
This PAB uses 12″ diameter and 2.125″ wide pneumatic tyres with sports rim (without spokes). Furthermore, the AM-GT is also the first ebike to come with front and rear suspension. Therefore this ebike is suitable for urban city and also partially rough terrain use.
Display
This LTA approved ebike comes with a large display panel that displays the speed, electric assistance level, battery level and distance travelled.
Safety
The LTA approved AM GT electric bicycle uses Shimano front and rear disc brakes. This PAB has with front light (white) and rear light (red).
In addition, this ebike comes with built-in anti-theft alarm with remote lock.
