Overview of components
Fork

Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this e-bike is FOX Float DPS Performance, with a travel distance of 130mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels size
The E-Whaka+ 2018 e-bike is equipped with 27.5″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 27.5″ wheels will reach higher speeds than smaller-sized wheels. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The E-Whaka+ has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the E-Whaka+. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
