Jasion RetroVolt Max

What the Jasion RetroVolt Max is built for

The Jasion RetroVolt Max is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 2 kW (2 kW peak) hub motor and 99 Nm of torque.

It carries a 1,040 Wh removable battery and a stated range of up to 150 miles (241 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Jasion RetroVolt Max carries up to 331 lb (150 kg) including the rider and has full suspension.

In the United States the Jasion RetroVolt Max sells for $1,299, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Jasion RetroVolt Max may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 2 kW motor is above the 250 W limit and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Jasion RetroVolt Max safety certification

The brand states that the Jasion RetroVolt Max is certified to UL 2271 and UL 2849.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
