The new Mokwheel Basalt maintains the core features of the original but has some nice upgrades as well.

The Basalt is powered by a 750W rear hub motor, which is paired to a Samsung 48V battery. The bike weighs in at 80 pounds and has a range of 60 to 80 miles per charge. Instead of just a torque sensor to help determine when the electric motor kicks in, the Basalt is also equipped with a cadence sensor. Cadence refers to the how fast the pedals are spinning.

The top speed is 28 mph using Level 5 of the Pedal Assist system. Total payload capacity (including rider) is 400 pounds.

Stopping is accomplished via Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes, while a 7-Speed Shimano rear derailleur handles shifting duties. Like most eBikes in this price range, there’s no front derailleur. Up front, a 110mm travel suspension fork helps mellow out the bumps.

A rear rack and rear tail and brake light as well as front and rear fenders are new additions to the Basalt.

The new Mokwheel Basalt retails for $1,599. The Basalt is available in 4 different color schemes: steel blue, jungle camouflage, gray and a new color: phantom black. The Basalt comes in one size to suit most adults between 5’6″ – 6’8″ tall.

Mokwheel introduced the concept of the Power Station eBike, which allows you to harness the power of the battery to charge various electronic devices, such as phones, laptops and coffee makers. The company also sells accessories such as foldable solar panels that allow you to charge your bike using the power of the sun.
