How powerful is the R22T Everest climbing capability?

With 190Nm of torque, the R22T Everest offers nearly double the torque of standard high-end e-MTBs (which typically average 85-90Nm). This allows the R22T Everest to climb steep grades and accelerate up steep mountain faces that other e-bikes cannot attempt.

What is the real-world range of the R22T Everest?

The R22T Everest is the world’s longest-range E-Venture bike, capable of up to 300 miles on a single charge thanks to its massive 3,260Wh dual battery system. Real-world range depends on terrain, rider weight, and assist level, but it is specifically engineered for long-distance touring and backcountry exploration where charging is not an option.

How do I service the R22T Everest?

The R22T Everest is designed for low maintenance. It features a sealed Rohloff 14-speed internal gear hub and a durable mid-drive motor that requires minimal service compared to traditional derailleurs. For standard maintenance (brakes, tires), any high-end bike shop can service the R22T. For service of the battery, motor, or electronics, we will arrange replacement parts, or a return and repair, and we can work with a local bike shop to handle the labor.

Yes, we ship our bikes worldwide. For customers in the continental USA, shipping is a flat rate visible at checkout. For international orders, we provide custom shipping quotes to ensure your bike is delivered safely to your location. Please contact us for a current international shipping quote.
