An adventure-bike frame with a Shimano EP5 mid-drive motor built in - the MTX-E 8.8 sits between a hybrid and a gravel bike, which is exactly the point if your commute has a mix of tarmac, towpath, and the occasional gravel shortcut.
Shimano mid-drive, 60-mile battery
60Nm of torque from the mid-drive motor and a 504Wh battery combine for up to 60 miles of range - enough for most multi-day touring without needing a mid-ride charge. Front suspension and disc brakes handle the rougher sections.
