Features
- Patented Aluminum Folding Frames - Fabricated from aircraft grade
aluminum, the G Plus Mariner Sport’s frame is designed for strength,
portability, comfort, quality and longevity while maintaining a unique
style. An overlapping Heavy Duty adjustable folding mechanism with an
integrated safety latch assures the easy 15 second fold while offering the
strength of a rigid frame.
Ships Fully Assembled - The Mariner Sport’s 3 way fold allows the bicycle to be shipped fully assembled. There are no requirements to install any components when receiving the bicycle. Even the pedals are installed and the Mariner Sport is fully adjusted and tested before shipping. You will be up and riding in a few minutes.
- USA Built - All Prodeco electric bicycles are designed, assembled and
quality controlled in the USA. Bicycles are produced on a daily basis in our
Florida facility with no inventory being built older than 1 week prior to
shipping. This allows for all components including batteries to remain 100%
fresh and the latest stock. Overseas quality control is not consistent and
the reason behind Prodeco’s reasoning for building the Mariner Sport in the
USA.
- 2 Year Front to Back Warranty - A full part replacement EZ warranty
remains in effect for 2 years from the date of purchase. If any component
fails during this time, it will be replaced for a new component. EZ warranty
replacement includes full motor wheel replacement. If for any reason your
motor fails during the first 2 years, Prodeco will replace the complete
wheel including rim and spokes. The new wheel will ship fully balanced and
with the Motor’s easy disconnect; only a few minutes is required for removal
and installation. LiFePO4 batteries are fully warranted for 2 years with no
prorating. If your battery fails on month 23, a new LiFePO4 battery will be
shipped.
- Rust and Corrosion Resistant - The outdoor environment is a bike’s worst
enemy. The Mariner Sport utilizes aluminum alloys, stainless steels and
cromoly for 95% of all components and hardware. We understand the importance
of year after year use, and an owner’s need for their bike to remain rust
and corrosion free with continued performance and good looks. Small
attention to details such as an alloy cap headset, alloy chain guard and
stainless steel spokes have been implemented throughout the bicycle.
- Black Pearlescent Finish - The Mariner Sport’s features a black
pearlescent finish with multitudes of diminutive flakes covered in a 3D deep
clear. The decals are placed under the clear as not to scratch or peel. All
major components are either polished black or sandblasted black and anodized
for protection.
- LiFePO4 Li-ion Battery Systems - Manganese and Cobalt have been the main
choice in Lithium cathode material used for the lithium electric bicycle
market over the past three years. The high cost but low life expectancy (700
cycles) of these batteries fails to offer the longevity required by most
ebike riders. LiFePO4, the latest lithium technology increases the cycle
life to 2000 plus. The LiFePO4 system is highly more stable, can charge at
higher amps and does not deteriorate with heat unlike the majority of the
current ebike lithium batteries.
- Throttle Powered - The Mariner Sport’s motor is controlled via a
variable throttle. Throttling permits riders to pedal when they prefer and
establish assist according to their requirements, i.e (steep hill, no
pedaling effort, bad knee, etc...). A light twist of the throttle produces a
slow and soft ride while the full twist of the throttle generates a quick
and exhilarating ride.
- Quick Disconnect 200W Motor - At only 5.5 lbs, the Prodeco exclusive
“friction drive” 200W mini brushless HUB motor offers high performance at a
high efficiency. 200 watts is sufficient to allow a rider to power at twice
the average speed of a traditional bicycle rider pedaling. With electric
bicycles, the marriage of the motor, controller and battery is crucial in
offering a decent range per charge cycle. 200W will allow a 20% increase in
distance per charge versus 250W while only reducing top speed by 5%. Prodeco
offers dealers the option to order bikes with a 250W motor for no additional
charge but dealers must realize distance can be decreased by 20%. The 200W
motor also incorporates Prodeco’s quick weatherproof disconnect directly at
the motor; tire or tube changes are no longer an issue when comparing to
other electric bikes. The connector located within a few inches from the
motor allows for a two-second disconnect and the motorized wheel can be
easily removed hassle free.
- Quick Connect Controllers - Electric bicycle controllers are the brain
to the functions of an ebike. The Mariner Sport’s controller is a
maintenance free sealed unit. If the controller ever has an issue, it can be
changed within a few minutes due to the Mariner Sport’s use of a wire
harness and simplified connectors. Issue proof connectors allow for
connecting or disconnecting the controller in a matter of seconds.
- Cartridge Bearing Headsets - The Mariner Sport uses an upper and lower
cartridge bearing headset with a sealed aluminum alloy cap for high
strength, years of issue free performance, and zero rust.
Sealed Bearing Bottom Brackets - To maintain the concept of no maintenance, the Mariner Sport utilizes Prodeco’s maintenance-free sealed cartridge bearing system for the bottom bracket. Prodeco’s bottom bracket contains an axle/spindle made of cromoly for higher strength and resistance to rust and spins freely on dual maintenance free sealed bearings. A standard 68/73 BSA ENG measurement is used.
- Sealed Bearing HUBs - The front motor HUB and rear wheel HUB float on
maintenance free sealed bearings for a flawlessly smooth ride. For
additional service free issues, both HUBs are fabricated out of aluminum
alloy for zero rust.
- Alloy Chain Guard - Chain Guards on the Mariner Sport are aluminum alloy
and not the plastic or steel found on most bikes, they will not rust and are
lightweight. To add a little flare, Prodeco utilized CNC machining for cut
outs and etching for a stylish look.
- KMC K810 Chain - KMC’s K810 chain has stretch proof pins for durability,
an anti-drop design and special configuration plates. The chain is amazingly
eye catching with the use of two tone chain plates.
- High Performance Braking System - The Mariner Sport utilizes a Promax
DSK400 Front Caliper and Polygon Disc Rotor with a TX120 Rear V Brake
holding aluminum cartridges and RED shoes. XL-86 Levers (Promax’s Best)
complete the system. Not only is this for the purpose of advanced
performance braking, but also for the ease of adjusting and servicing. Disc
Calipers include a “Tool-Free” clearance adjustment knob for on-the-fly
adjusting, and rear Aluminum Cartridges allow for a one-minute shoe
replacement. All brakes feature a Distinctive Charcoal Finish.
- 12G Stainless Steel Spokes - Stainless Steel 12G spokes are thicker and
up to 100% stronger than the typical 14G spokes found on most traditional
bicycles. The added strength will offer years of issue-free performance
while sacrificing minimally in weight savings. Stainless steel is used for
its natural resistance to rust and high strength and anodized in Black for a
dramatic and sporty look.
- Double Wall Rim - Rim strength is important with any bicycle; but, with
electric bicycles it is of utmost importance. Electric bicycles consistently
travel at higher speeds than traditional bikes. With the added strength of
12G spokes and a motorized HUB, rims have to be above standard strength. The
Mariner Sport uses a slightly wider 24mm rim than typically found on a 20”
wheel. The Mariner Sport’s rim side corners are double walled along with a
double wall for the base offering improved strength and resistance to
flexing. They were specifically manufactured for 12G spokes and the perfect
match for Prodeco’s high performance 200W motor.
- Kenda Low Resistance Tires - As with any ebike, tire choice is critical
for distance per charge. The Mariner Sport’s use of Kenda’s SRC Comfort
Contacts allow for low resistance and smooth riding with a solid road
surface grip. Kenda’s SRC line best attributes are the low rolling
resistance, extreme durability and high tread longevity wrapped all into one
universal package.
- Quick Release Rear Axle - The Quick Release “QR” axle offers a “tool
free” 30-second rear wheel removal for flats, service or as a theft
deterrent. With the quick removal of the rear axle, the bike will no longer
be able to be ridden and tire or tube changes are a breeze.
- Suspension Seat Post - An aluminum alloy suspension seatpost smoothes
out the rear bumps while the suspension forks smooth out the front. The
pre-tension is fully adjustable for a softer or firmer ride.
- Dual front & rear adjusting bolts in barrel nuts permits an easy adjustment in pivoting the saddle nose’s incline or decline.
- Folding Handlebar with Height Adjustability - Riders come in all sizes
and with the Mariner Sport’s adjustable height handlebar, riders from 5’ 3”
to 6’ 3” can adjust it for optimum comfort. The handlebar also folds to
further reduce the size of the bicycle upon being folded.
- Folding Aluminum & Nylon Pedals - High quality double bearing folding
pedals are included with all Mariner Sports. The pedals use an aluminum body
with a nylon cage floating on double bearings over a cromoly spindle. No
plastic folding pedals here!
- Frame Mounts - The Mariner Sport has incorporated frame mounts for water
bottles and fenders. The traditional sized mounts are welded directly to or
through the frame. Stainless Steel hex bolts are included.
- Braided Housings & Stainless Steel Cables - Braided and Lined housings with stainless steel cables are an added layer of protection and durability. All housings are lined for the smoothest braking while inner stainless steel cables allow for rust and corrosion resistance. The addition of the braided layer not only increases the strength of the cable housing but adds an attractive detail typically reserved for only custom built bicycles.
