FAQs
The Alpha M26 is perfect for riders who want more power options, a removable battery, and the freedom to ride both in the city and on light trails.
It’s designed for riders who prefer:
- A sporty MTB riding posture
- Strong control with wide 2.40" tyres
- The flexibility to remove and charge the battery anywhere
This is one of the most versatile models in the Virtus lineup.
The biggest upgrades on the M26 are:
- Removable battery (I27.5 has fixed battery)
- Multiple battery capacities: 8Ah / 10.4Ah / 13Ah
- 5-level pedal assist (vs 3-level on I27.5)
- Slightly more trail-friendly ride feel with the MTB diamond frame
If you want flexibility + power customization, the M26 is the better choice.
Range depends on the battery size you select:
• 8Ah Battery
– Up to ~60 km with pedal assist
– Up to ~30 km using throttle
• 10.4Ah Battery
– Up to ~75 km with pedal assist
– Up to ~35–40 km using throttle
• 13Ah Battery
– Up to ~90 km with pedal assist
– Up to ~45 km using throttle
These are ideal-condition estimates. Actual range varies based on rider weight, terrain, tyre pressure, battery health, assistance level, and riding style.
No. This is a 250W / 25 km/h electric cycle, meaning:
✔ No licence
✔ No registration
✔ No insurance
✔ Ride anywhere a normal cycle can go
Completely hassle-free.
The removable battery is one of the M26’s biggest advantages:
- Unlock and slide out the battery
- Charge it inside your home or office
- No need to bring the bike to the charging point
- Much easier for apartment users
- Easier long-term maintenance or replacement
All three capacities use the same mounting slot.
5-level pedal assist (M26) gives you much more control over how much power you want:
- Level 1 → Light support (eco mode)
- Level 2 → Comfortable daily riding
- Level 3 → Medium boost for traffic & flyovers
- Level 4 → Strong assist for inclines
- Level 5 → Maximum assist for effortless riding
Important:
👉 Pedal-assist levels do NOT mean the bike has multiple gears.
The M26 is still a single-speed e-cycle.
Pedal assist only increases motor support, not mechanical gearing.
Excellent - especially with 5-level pedal assist.
Levels 3, 4, and 5 give smooth, strong power that helps you ascend:

- Gradual slopes
- Longer inclines

5’2" to 6’0" (157–183 cm)
