The electric bike revolution is gaining traction with the introduction of Monarc's latest offering, the 'Marker.' Backed by Lectric, the best-selling eBike brand in America, Monarc aims to redefine urban mobility by promoting a lifestyle with reduced dependency on cars.

Launched on June 2, 2026, the 'Marker' is positioned as a premium adventure eBike, appealing to those seeking both functionality and style. It features an industry-first five-year warranty, with a second battery included as standard, addressing a common concern among eBike riders—range anxiety. As a product designed by passionate industry veterans Julia Moran and Ryan Callahan, the 'Marker' stands out in a market that demands durable and performance-driven transport solutions.

Unparalleled Support for Riders

The 'Marker' is built not only for performance but also for longevity. Monarc’s mission revolves around minimizing the necessity of car trips while ensuring that biking becomes part of everyday life. To achieve this, the brand has established an exceptionally supportive ecosystem:

• - Extended Customer Service: Monarc provides customer service from 7 AM to 7 PM CST, ensuring that riders have access to support when they need it most.
• - Extra Battery Included: Each 'Marker' comes standard with two 15 Ah 48-volt batteries, which provide ample power (1440 watt hours), along with a fast charger that recharges in under three hours. This eliminates concerns regarding battery life and enhances the riding experience.

Ryan Callahan, Monarc's Head of Product, expressed excitement about creating a biking culture that prioritizes sustainability. "We want to build products meant to last, and with Lectric’s backing, we can ensure riders have access to an excellent biking experience that doesn't end up in a landfill after a few years."

Cutting-Edge Features for Adventurous Riders

The 'Marker' is designed to cater to both urban commuting and off-road exploration, making it versatile for various riding styles. Some of its standout specifications include:

• - Premium Components: Featuring LG battery cells, a Bafang motor, a Shimano drivetrain, and high-quality tires, the 'Marker' combines efficiency with reliability.
• - Powerful Motor: The Bafang B750 motor delivers 750 watts of nominal power and 85 Nm of torque, reaching peaks of 1,638 watts—enough to tackle tough terrains easily.
• - Innovative Engineering: The in-house designed Gneiss front fork enhances the ride quality by being both lighter and stiffer, ensuring durability.
• - Smart Technology: A first in the industry, the 3.5-inch color touchscreen syncs with smart accessories, includes turn-by-turn navigation, and allows over-the-air updates, providing users with a level of technology typically reserved for the automotive sector.
