FAQs
The difference is in how much motor support you can choose while pedalling:
- 1-Level Pedal Assist (I26):
You get a single, fixed level of motor support. Ideal for simple, no-adjustment riding. - 3-Level Pedal Assist (I27.5):
You can choose between Low, Medium, and High motor assistance depending on road conditions.
Level 1 → Light support for flat roads
Level 2 → Medium support for moderate riding
Level 3 → Strong support for inclines, flyovers, or when you want effortless riding
This makes the I27.5 more flexible and more powerful in real-world scenarios.
Important:
👉 3-level pedal assist does NOT mean the bike has gears.
The Alpha I27.5 is still a single-speed electric cycle.
Pedal assist levels only change the motor output, not the mechanical gear ratios.
So you’re getting variable motor support, not physical gears.
The Alpha I 27.5 is perfect for riders who want extra stability, smoother rolling, and better balance on everyday roads.
Its 27.5″ wheels make it ideal for:
- Daily commutes
- Longer weekend rides
- Rough patches, potholes, uneven Indian roads
- Taller riders who prefer a more confident riding stance
This is the most versatile and comfortable ride in the Alpha "I" lineup.
The key upgrades in the I27.5:
- Bigger 27.5″ tyres → better stability, smoother roll
- Wider 2.40″ tyres → improved grip and comfort
- 3-level pedal assist (vs. single-level on I26)
- More confidence at higher speeds and longer distances
If you want a more premium and smoother ride, I27.5 is the better choice.
Under ideal conditions:
- Pedal Assist: up to ~60 km
- Throttle Only: up to ~30 km
Range depends on rider weight, tyre pressure, terrain, wind resistance, battery health, and assistance level.
