Nukeproof hit the ground running with the Megawatt; their first e-bike has collected numerous accolades, including Bike Radar’s inaugural “e-bike of the year” award and has been a hit with riders in the Tweed Valley thanks to its great geometry, and confident ride on the steep and technical tracks that draw riders here from all over the world.
A suspension design borrowed from the much loved Mega gives the Megawatt a well balanced ride, with plenty of stability at speed but still remaining agile enough to keep things interesting.
SRAM’s T-Type Transmission gives seamless shifting under load, Shimano’s EP801 motor powers you back to the top with 85Nm of user-customisable torque and downtube ported internal cable routing keeps maintenance simple.
