Dyson’s Hard Tail Evo has further evolved – the new 2019 Hard Tail Evo RTC (Rail Trail, Commuter) is here.

Based on the popular 15Ah version of the Hard Tail Evo the RTC adds mud guards, integrated lights and quality rear rack straight out of the box.

Some of the things you’ll love:

The extruded aluminium mudguards are so strong and will last forever… no plastic that will quickly become brittle under the Australian sun!

Integrated lighting with various modes of flash or constant – and when you brake the rear light will flash quickly – notifying those behind you of your speed reduction.

Awesome quality rear rack designed for panniers – and in particular the Ortlieb range – so there’s no extra rattle.

Relaxed riding with an upright seating position and higher and wider handlebars.

The Evo’s high-specification motor is quieter, and stronger and is fitted with a Shimano cassette providing a crisper gear shift and reliability.

You can charge portable devices on the go (such as your mobile or camera) using the USB charge port located in the LCD display.

Dyson’s discreet ‘battery in the frame’ design means no one need know you’re riding an e-bike!

27.5-inch Alex rims fitted with oversized Kenda tyres make any ride comfortable –  from paved roads to dirt tracks.

Ride further:

Packed with 50 high quality Panasonic 18650 cells you have 15Ah capacity – giving you well over 100km of range.

Dyson custom software gives the rider the choice to ride with various assistance levels – from the mild-mannered performance of just 70 Watts in assist Level 1, steadily building through to the hill-flattening ability in Level 6 all at the push of a button. All modes provide assistance up to the legal limit of 27 kph. The other benefit of the ultra-low power mode is extended running time, with a minimum of 7 hours of assistance in level 1.
