GT Bicycles eGrade Current

The flat-bar setup puts you in a more upright, heads-up position, which significantly improves visibility and control in traffic or on loose gravel. It feels more like a mountain bike, offering a stable and intuitive handling experience that is less aggressive than a traditional drop-bar gravel bike.

No, the battery on the eGrade Current is integrated into the frame and is not designed to be removed. You will need to bring the bike close to a power outlet to charge it.

The 250-watt rear-hub motor is designed to smooth out the effort of climbing rather than doing the work for you. It provides a noticeable boost that makes steep inclines feel much more manageable, allowing you to maintain a steady cadence without exhausting yourself.

While it lacks a suspension fork, the bike features GT's signature Triple Triangle frame design, which is engineered to provide vertical compliance and dampen road vibrations. This helps take the sting out of gravel paths and rough pavement, though it is still a rigid bike and will feel stiffer than a full-suspension mountain bike.

The eGrade Current has a total weight capacity of 305 lbs, which includes the rider, the bike itself, and any gear or accessories you might be carrying.

Because the bike is built on a lightweight alloy frame and features a responsive drivetrain, it pedals very much like a standard bicycle even without motor assistance. You won't experience significant drag from the motor, so you can easily pedal home if you run out of charge.
