Cutting edge torque sensors optimize performance by sampling data at an impressive frequency rate of 80kHz, delivering precise control over speed acceleration/deceleration while still achieving maximum efficiency. Despite its remarkable strength ratings and 160 Nm max torque; there's no need to worry about noise pollution – this beast hums along virtually silently.

The battery design features an integrated battery level gauge to allow you to easily keep tabs on remaining charge even when the bike isn't powered on.

This high performance drivetrain is ideally suited for the Ultra motor and provides a wide-range of gearing to maximize the motor's torque for steep hill climbing ability and fast top speeds. We choose this drivetrain for it's strong, reliable and quick shifting.

Stop Fast With Four Piston Disc Brakes
The Tektro Orion 745 disc brakes provide rapid stopping power thanks to the 4-piston technology and 180mm rotors. These easily adjustable brakes are chosen for their reliability and performance and are a significant upgrade over most brake systems available on electric bikes in the market today. While they rarely need servicing, when they do they can be easily serviced by most bike shops to bleed the hydraulic fluid and replace the pads as needed.

Carry Gear & Light Up The Night
We developed a brand new line of racks, fenders, lights and other accessories designed to fit the Forest Bikes product line. The end result is custom racks and accessories that offer a wide range of improvements. Our new optional lights are brighter and have better features than ever before, while the optional front and rear lights feature brighter LEDs for even more visibility.

Ride Confidently With Thru Axle Stability
Our Forest Summit Series includes an upgraded thru axle front fork that's new for 2023. The increased stability and rigidity of your wheel reduces the possibility of flexing or twisting under heavy braking, meaning you can be confident in your bike's ability to match the intensity of your ride.

Customize Your Ride To Your Riding Style
The Forest Bikes product line was designed from the ground up with the idea of customization. This includes optional upgrades like a dropper seat post to make it easier to get on and off and also help descend steeper terrain. We are also excited to announce optional suspension fork upgrades from DNM and RockShox are available thanks to the new thru axle front hub.
