The Monarc
Framework

1638W Motor with 30-amp Controller

1638W Motor with 30-amp Controller

30 amps of current delivered to the Bafang B750 motor means every ride is supported by immense power. At the perfect moment 1638W of peak power is delivered to claw up steep hills or through soft terrain.
Shimano Cues Drivetrain

Shimano Cues Drivetrain

A Shimano Cues 9-Speed Cassette and Rear Derailleur is a wide-range system designed for ebikes with a friction stabilizer that ensures extremely precise and smooth shifting. When paired with a hub motor, this durable setup easily handles high torque, significantly extending the cassette's lifespan.
Gneiss Reverse Arch Fork

Ride Quality

Julia, our Principal Engineer, approaches frame design by intentionally shaping and placing each tube to not only provide maximum utility but to optimize the ride quality, instilling confidence in our riders. We’ve proven this through in-house testing, with the bike both loaded and unloaded. Experience premium frame design that makes you almost forget you’re on an ebike.

Optimized Urban Geometry

The Tracer is engineered with a slightly more upright handling position, striking the perfect balance between comfort and control. This frame geometry reduces strain, while keeping your line of sight up and alert in city traffic. It’s a natural, confidence-inspiring ride designed to absorb the city's bumps so your body doesn't have to.

Behind the Design

We’re maintaining universal utility by designing our ebikes with a wide fit window for shared use between family members. We know that every person has a unique reason for getting on their bike, and we want to celebrate those differences by providing our riders with all of the tools to live their lives by bike in their own way.

5-Year Warranty

Our unprecedented 5-year warranty ensures you have peace of mind choosing Monarc. With extended customer support hours, you can reach out anytime M-F from 7a-7p. We know it’s crazy, but it’s real. We’ll be here for you for the long haul.

Safety First

Riding on the open road comes with risks and we want to mitigate those as much as possible by designing real safety into the DNA of our ebikes. Of course all of our bikes are UL certified, but we don’t stop there. From rear-vehicle alert systems, to tire pressure monitoring, to smart helmet capability all the way down to the battery IPX7 waterproof rating, we’re making sure you feel safe to explore.

    Unbeatable Package Out of the Box

    The Monarc Tracer Step-Thru is a fantastic e-bike right out of the box. Everything works flawlessly.

    Having the spare battery and smart helmet included is a huge win—swapping batteries completely eliminates range anxiety on long rides. The 750W motor has plenty of hill-climbing power, the pedal assist is smooth, and the Shimano CUES 9-speed gears and 4-piston hydraulic brakes make for a high-quality ride.

    The step-thru frame is easy to hop on, the center display is clear, and the ride is super comfortable. It’s about 70 lbs, but given the range, build quality, and extra accessories, it’s unbeatable. Highly recommended!

    First week impressions

    I’ve only had the bike for a week but it has surpassed my expectations regarding quality components, features and ride experience. I had a few minor misunderstandings regarding what the new bike display was capable in relation to its interaction with the smart helmet but as per usual the people at Monarc (and previously for me Lectric my first e-bike ) have been both courteous and extremely fast in responding. I taking it out for a long ride this weekend and can’t wait to see the range and ride experience for an extended period

    Great first ebike!

    Not super easy to assemble, but totally worth the effort. Highly recommend watching the YouTube assembly video.

    I weigh 265lbs and am 5’ 11” and this bike is amazing for my body type. I was nervous about being on the heavy side, but this bike makes me feel nearly weightless. It’s comfortable, has plenty of power when I need a little boost, and has helped me achieve my goal of spending more time outside exploring my city.

    been riding e-bikes since 1993.

    I'm not an expert but I've been in the e-bike game for several decades. My first bike was a kit that could only go 15 mph and ran out of steam after 4 miles. I mounted that on an old Schwinn Criss-Cross with bow tie handlebars mainly for my ex-wife to ride which she never freaking did so I ended up using it to commute to work. My second bike was a juiced rip current s I received just before the covid scam and put over 3,000 miles on it. They put an undersized controller on it so performance suffered especially with 4-in fat tires. My next bike was a Wired brand (formerly wicked) Cruiser model. It solved the shortcomings of the Rip Current S, but is basically a low powered motorcycle and doesn't handle anything like a bicycle.

    Next I bought a Lectric XP4 folding bike. I'm a big guy I felt like a hog on a roller skate. The Monarc Tracer is the perfect balance of power and agility. I give it my highest recommendation, especially if you install Tannus Liners. Nothing sucks more than a flat on an e-bike.

    Even with nearly four horsepower having the Wired Cruiser around I'm nearly always riding my Monarc Tracer now. Buy it. You'll be glad you did. Unless you just don't want any exercise at all then buy a low powered motorcycle which is really what the Wired e-bikes products really are.
