"Xtracycle equipped the Swoop ASM with a Shimano STEPS EP6 Cargo drive unit. It outputs 250W (~500W max) and 85Nm of torque, reaching 28MPH. That makes this a class 3 e-bike. The EP6 drive unit is paired with a 630Wh battery, which can reach up to 60 miles between charges."
"Rather than using cadence sensors, Xtracycle opted for torque sensors for the drive unit. Torque sensors better complement the ride experience, as they allow the motor to sense the rider's input and assist from there. This provides a more natural assistance, rather than the 'on/off' feel that can come with a motor with cadence sensors."
"The Swoop ASM is built with Xtracycle's classic 24/20-inch 'mullet' wheels. A few other standouts are a Suntour fork with 80mm of travel, Tektro 4-piston brakes with 203mm rotors, and Maxxis Metroloads tires."
