The Ascent 24 is the smallest bike in the Ascent family, built on 24" wheels for kids and very small adults. It gives younger riders a proper hub-drive eMTB, with suspension and hydraulic brakes, so they can keep up on rail trails and mild off-road rides.
- Sized for smaller riders: an Extra-small aluminium mountain bike frame on 24" double-wall wheels.
- Gentle, predictable assist: a VelectriX RX1 rear hub motor (250 W, 36 V, 45 Nm) with a cadence sensor and 4 assist levels.
- Up to 50 km per charge: from a 36 V, 378 Wh Reention Bee battery.
- Grip and comfort: a VelectriX suspension fork with 80 mm travel and Kenda Booster 24" x 2.2" tyres.
- Easy control: Shimano 7-speed gearing and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.
Road legal, pedal-assist only
The motor is 250 W, it only assists while the rider pedals, there is no throttle, and assistance stops at 25 km/h. The Ascent 24 is built to EN15194 and is road legal in all Australian states and territories.
Sizing
The Ascent 24 comes in Extra-small, in Silver, for riders 130–155 cm. It weighs 20.9 kg including the battery and is rated for a 110 kg rider plus 25 kg of luggage on a rear rack (optional accessory).
Tune Cycles in Marrickville, Sydney, can set up the Ascent 24 for its rider and look after its servicing.
VelectriX warranty, from the date of purchase:
- Frame: 5 years against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.

- Fork, stem, handlebar, headset, seatpost, saddle, brakes, bottom bracket, crankset, pedals, rims, spokes, hubs, derailleur, shifter and rear rack: 1 year.
Wear items aren't covered: tyres and tubes, kickstand, mudguards, lights, grips, brake pads and rotors, chainrings, cassette, chain and gear cables. A battery that keeps at least 60% of its capacity within 2 years is considered normal ageing. The frame is rated for a 110 kg rider plus 25 kg of luggage.
