Power & Climbing: Two Different Philosophies

G2 Ultra — Dual-Motor Climber

The G2 Ultra's dual 800W motors deliver a combined 1600W of total power . This dual-drive system provides exceptional traction on loose or slippery surfaces — the front wheel pulls while the rear pushes, preventing wheel spin on gravel, grass, or wet dirt .

Climbing advantage: 26° slope capability, making it the better choice for hilly terrain .

G2 Max — Single-Motor Cruiser

The G2 Max uses a single 1000W rear-wheel motor (1200W peak) . It offers a higher top speed of 55 km/h  but less traction on loose surfaces.

Speed advantage: 5 km/h faster top speed than the G2 Ultra .


Range & Battery: More Capacity Wins

The G2 Max's 48V 20.8Ah battery delivers up to 70 km of range — about 25% more than the G2 Ultra's 55 km .



Model Battery Range Charge Time
G2 Max 48V 20.8Ah ≤70 km 10-11 hours
G2 Ultra 48V 18Ah ≤55 km 9-10 hours

The verdict: If range is your priority, the G2 Max is the clear winner.


Suspension & Comfort: G2 Ultra Takes the Edge

Both models have front and rear suspension, but the G2 Ultra's double cantilever spring design provides more progressive spring action — softer on small bumps and firmer on big hits .

The G2 Ultra also features 160mm disc brakes (vs 140mm on the G2 Max) for stronger stopping power , and a brighter 10W headlight for better night visibility .

G2 Max advantage: Includes a detachable seat  — perfect for longer rides when you want to sit and relax.
