A 36.9V 9.94Ah 367Wh battery stretches to up to 70 miles thanks to the light frame and efficient drivetrain, and recharges in 3–4 hours.
Natural Torque Sensor
A 250W hub (500W peak) with 40Nm and a torque sensor gives a smooth, bike-like push.

The Bike Cave Verdict
Ben's Take
The Soltera 3 is the one I'm most curious to ride, because it's chasing something different: lightness and simplicity. At 37 lbs it's barely heavier than a normal bike, the Gates Carbon belt drive is silent and essentially maintenance-free, and up to 70 miles of range from a small 367Wh battery is impressive for the weight. It's a single-speed Class 1 bike, so there's no shifting and no throttle — this is about a clean, quiet, natural-feeling ride rather than power or hill-flattening. At $1,499 it's a lovely idea beautifully specced for the rider who wants an e-bike that mostly disappears underneath them. I haven't ridden it on camera yet — full review to come.
👍 What stands out
- Class-leading light weight of just 37 lbs
- Clean, silent, maintenance-free Gates belt drive
- Up to 70 miles from a small, light battery
- Hydraulic disc brakes and four frame sizes
- Beautifully simple, classic-looking city bike
👎 What to know
- Not yet reviewed on camera — verdict and score to come
- Single-speed, Class 1, no throttle — not for hills or speed
- Small 40Nm motor — gentle assistance, not a shove
- Rigid frame — a pure smooth-road city bike
