Y18 PRO Power: 5000W Peak, 380 N·m
What the motor's numbers actually feel like on pavement, dirt, and 35° climbs.
Peak wattage and torque numbers look great on a spec sheet — but what do they feel like when you twist the throttle? Here's how the Y18 PRO's 5000W peak brushless motor and 380 N·m of torque translate to real riding.
1. 5000W Peak vs. Continuous Power
Peak power is the maximum the motor can deliver in short bursts — useful for hard acceleration, hill attacks, and quick overtakes. For sustained cruising, the motor runs well below peak. That burst capacity is what gives the Y18 PRO its motorcycle-like launch from a standstill with zero lag.
2. 380 N·m of Torque — What It Means
Torque is what gets you moving and what pulls you up hills. The Y18 PRO's 380 N·m is a serious figure for a pit-bike-class machine, and it's the main reason a 330-lb-loaded bike can still climb 35° grades without slowing. In plain language: the bike doesn't bog down when you ask it to work.
3. 38 MPH Top Speed
38 MPH is fast enough for most commuting and open-road riding, and the cruiser frame keeps it stable at speed. The 360° lighting (headlight, ambient turn signals, fork reflectors) means you're seen after dark — see Safety Systems for the full visibility setup.
4. 35° Climbing Angle
A 35° climb is steeper than most paved roads and a lot of off-road fire roads. The combination of torque, fat-tire grip, and the 330-lb load rating means the Y18 PRO can handle real grades — useful for hilly commutes, beach access paths, and light trail work.
5. How It Compares Across the Flydone Lineup
