TWO 720Wh BATTERIES ARE INCLUDED, not optional, which is why the pack reads 1440Wh and the claim reaches 130 miles. The city counterpart to Monarc's Marker: same 1440Wh and the same 85 Nm Bafang B750, but 27.5 x 2.2 Kenda city tread instead of the Marker's all-terrain setup, and 73 lb against 87. Quad-piston brakes on a 203mm front rotor, Shimano Cues 9-speed, a 3.5 inch touchscreen that takes over-the-air updates, and the sensor toggles between torque and cadence with torque as the default. UL 2849 and UL 2271 plus ISO 4210. Rider limit is 330 lb inside a 420 lb gross, and the rear rack is only rated 59 lb, which is low for a bike otherwise specified this heavily.

Safety certification: UL 2271: battery only. Monarc states: “Battery Certification UL2271” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
