A 500-watt nominal, 750-watt peak front hub motor drives the trike. Activating that motor can be done by the twist throttle on the right or using the cadence-based pedal assist. The throttle here is tied to whatever mode of pedal assist you are in, meaning that to have full throttle power, you must be in the highest assist mode (level 5). The pedal assist has levels 1-5 and is operated by a 12-magnet cadence sensor at the crank arm that senses when you pedal. Mechanically, the bike uses a 7-speed Shimano Tourney derailleur with a 14-28 tooth cassette and a 44-tooth chain ring in the front. Stopping the trike is a set of 160mm mechanical disc brakes. The stopping power is increased since there are 3 disc brakes for each tire. Some trikes just have 1 or 2 discs for the rear and some even forget the front or back altogether (if it is a tadpole trike for example), but here you get a brake for each wheel and there are even motor inhibitors.
