Which City E-Bike Has A 1000W Hub Motor?

The TST C624 26" City eBike features a 1000W brushless rear hub motor designed for urban commuting. This motor provides sufficient torque for city terrain while maintaining compliance with Class 2 eBike regulations. Paired with a lightweight 36V 10.4Ah battery, it balances power and portability, achieving a top speed of 23MPH and a 45-mile pedal-assisted range. Mechanical disc brakes and Shimano 7-speed gearing ensure reliable performance in stop-and-go traffic.

How Does a 1000W Motor Enhance Urban Commuting?

A 1000W hub motor delivers rapid acceleration and hill-climbing efficiency while adhering to urban speed limits. Its brushless design minimizes maintenance, and the 36V system prioritizes weight savings for maneuverability.

Urban riders need responsive power without excessive bulk. The TST C624’s 1000W motor generates 65 Nm of torque, enabling quick starts at traffic lights and smooth ascents on 15% gradients. Unlike higher-wattage motors that prioritize off-road performance, this configuration focuses on energy efficiency — the 36V battery provides 375Wh capacity, translating to 45 miles per charge under moderate pedal assist. Mechanical disc brakes offer a practical advantage here: they’re easier to service in city environments compared to hydraulic systems. For perspective, accelerating this eBike from 0-20MPH takes 6.2 seconds — comparable to mid-tier electric scooters but with superior stability from 26" wheels. However, riders should note that sustained high-speed cycling reduces range by 30-40% due to wind resistance.

What Safety Features Support High-Wattage Urban E-Bikes?

Key safety elements include 180mm mechanical discs and 300lb weight capacity. The braking system provides consistent stopping power even during wet conditions.

High-wattage motors demand robust safety measures. The TST C624 uses dual 180mm rotors requiring 15lbs of hand force to achieve a 20MPH→0 stop in 4.1 meters — 22% shorter than basic rim brakes. The frame’s 300lb capacity accommodates riders plus cargo like panniers or child seats. Wider 26"x1.95" tires increase contact patch area by 18% compared to standard commuter bikes, enhancing grip on rain-slicked roads. A critical but often overlooked feature is the motor cutoff switch, which instantly halts power delivery when brakes are applied. This prevents accidental throttle engagement during emergency stops. For context, a 1000W motor at full throttle produces enough force to lift the front wheel if improperly balanced — making these integrated safety protocols essential.

How Does Battery Design Affect 1000W Motor Performance?

The 36V 10.4Ah battery prioritizes compactness over raw power, enabling a 57.32lb total weight while sustaining 1.5 hours of continuous motor use.

Battery configuration directly impacts real-world usability. While 48V systems are common in high-power eBikes, the TST C624’s 36V setup reduces voltage sag during peak loads, maintaining stable motor output. The 10.4Ah capacity delivers 374Wh — sufficient for 18 miles of throttle-only operation or 45 miles with PAS 3 assistance. Charging via a 42V/2A adapter takes 4.2 hours for 0-100%, with partial charges (20-80%) possible in 2.1 hours. Unlike bulkier batteries, this pack’s slim profile integrates seamlessly into the downtube, lowering the center of gravity for sharper cornering. Pro tip: Storing the bike in temperatures below -10°C can permanently reduce battery capacity by 12-15% per exposure cycle.
