Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MOTOR

Brute force for hill and headwind

A high‑performance 750W motor producing 75 Nm of torque gives the Nomad 1 Plus the surge needed on street climbs and uneven trail approaches, and the platform can reach speeds up to 28 mph when unlocked.

THE CHASSIS

Comfort and control across surfaces

The bike pairs fat tires and an 80mm suspension fork with a Shimano 7‑speed drivetrain, an adjustable stem and a comfortable saddle to smooth bumps and make shifting effortless over mixed surfaces; premium hydraulic brakes provide dependable stopping power.

SAFETY & CAPACITY

Lights, waterproofing and heavy‑duty load rating

Integrated front and rear lights with turn signals and waterproof components enhance visibility and reliability, while a 440‑lb payload capacity and a recommended rider height between 5'1" and 6'4" define who the bike is built to carry.
