LG cells with DIB technology 36V 10.4Ah - internal downtube mounted

Reid Custom hydroformed mid drive alloy frame with DIB and internal wiring and cabling

By pairing the latest mid-drive electric bike technology with a tough hybrid commuter design, our versatile new Blacktop 2 ebike offers some serious performance upgrades to make getting around the city even faster and more fun!
The Blacktop 2 is our feature-packed electric bike for riders who want to take charge of their daily commute; or replace the car for weekend adventures and visiting friends.
An upgraded mid-mount motor, more powerful battery pack, improved gearing and hydraulic disc brakes promise improved performance and a more refined ride.
Powering the Blacktop 2 is the proven Ananda M80 electric mid-drive motor. Positioning the motor in the bottom bracket area is optimal for giving the rider better usage of gears and improved handling when navigating traffic or cornering at pace.
The powerful 80 Newton Metre torque of the electric motor coupled with the Shimano 9-speed Acera gears will give you all the range you need for fast city riding or weekend touring.
The elegant frame-integrated battery pack is a fast-charging, lightweight LG unit (36 volt, 10.4 Ah, 374.4 Wh) that will help you cruise through an impressive 100 kilometres of pedal-assisted riding on a single charge. Just choose your power level on the handlebar mounted LCD display unit and go.
The handlebar mounted LCD information display shows valuable information such as battery level, speed, trip distance and more.
Electric bikes use a battery powered motor to give you pedal-assistance up to 25km/hr to help you ride further, with less effort so you can get there faster and in better shape.
A fast bike needs good stopping power, and the Blacktop 2 is fitted with upgraded Nutt hydraulic disc brakes. Hydraulics deliver more power with less lever force than other systems, which gives better modulation and control in all riding conditions.
The Blacktop 2 is also available in a step-through WSD frame design. WSD or Women Specific Design is an approach to building bikes that considers female proportions to produce a bike more suited to a female rider.
Both configurations are optimised for a fast, smooth and controlled riding experience. And as becomes clear from the first pedal stroke - these bikes are also heaps of fun!
Our range of Electric Bikes all include the industry-leading Reid Warranty: lifetime on frame and rigid forks, 2 years on non-consumable parts, 1 year/5,000 km (whichever comes first) warranty on eBike system components and 2 free services within the first 12 months.

Q. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ANANDA MID DRIVE MOTOR?
Mid-drive electric bikes offer more options in terms of gearing, smoother acceleration and lowers the centre of gravity of the bike giving a more stable ride over broken ground or when cornering. This benefit is really felt when riding an mid drive electric bike off-road or at speed.Reid have specified Ananda electric bike motors to offer customers a more affordable mid motor choice over the Shimano system. Although slightly heavier and with a reduced range, the Ananda unit is rated for all-weather use and offers impressive performance at a cheaper price point.
Q. HOW FAST DOES AN EBIKE GO?
Electric bikes in Australia are limited to 250w and will assist you up to 25km/hr - going faster than this is up to the effort of the rider. Any motor providing more power will be classified as a motorbike and must be registered and ridden by a licenced rider.
Q. HOW FAR CAN I TRAVEL ON A FULL CHARGE?
The range you can expect depends on how hard the battery is working. This will be affected by factors like the weight of the rider, how much luggage you’re carrying, tyre pressure, hills/terrain, road condition, wind and the level of assistance or power setting you use.
You can expect the Shimano Steps system to last around 100km on the highest assistance setting even with hills and extra weight (ranges up to 185km under ideal conditions have been reported by Shimano in testing). The Bafang and Ananda electric bike systems will cover up to 70km depending on conditions.
Q. HOW DO I CHARGE AN EBIKE AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Simply plug the charger into a standard wall socket at work or when you get home. To charge the Shimano Steps battery from 0% to 80% will take 2 hours, 100% in 4 hours. Most of the time though you’ll just need to top up rather than completely refill. Charging times are similar for the Bafang and Ananda systems.
Q. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE?
The Shimano Steps system uses a 418Wh battery. At 30c/kWh x 0.418kWh = 12.5c for a full charge. Costs are similar with the Bafang and Ananda systems.
Q. CAN I RIDE IN THE RAIN?
Yes, all of these units are sealed and made for all-conditions riding.
Q. CAN I SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE AND RIDE IT LIKE NORMAL?
Yes. Remove the battery pack and it will feel very much like a normal bike.
Q. WHAT DOES ‘PEDELEC’ MEAN?
The most popular electric bike system in Australia is the pedelec (or pedal assist) system. You ride a pedaled assisted eBike by pedalling as normal, while the electric motor adds power to each pedal stroke - flattening out the hills and getting you up to speed with much less effort.
Q. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SERVICE MY EBIKE?
We recommend your electric bike is serviced during the first 3 months of ownership as components bed in. Frequency of servicing after that depends on usage and what maintenance you choose to do yourself in terms of caring for the chain and other basic tasks. A regular rider who does not perform any maintenance may benefit from servicing every 6 months. Click here for more information on servicing.
