A team of dedicated and highly skilled Opus employees make sure that every bike coming off our assembly line meets the highest standards of quality. Each bike is accompanied by a detailed quality control checklist, covering key inspection points that must be verified and signed off before it is ready to ship to your local dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opusbike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Prod_MotorAss_29_retouched_cropped-1024x599.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32342\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opusbike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Prod_MotorAss_29_retouched_cropped-1024x599.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.opusbike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Prod_MotorAss_29_retouched_cropped-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.opusbike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Prod_MotorAss_29_retouched_cropped-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.opusbike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Prod_MotorAss_29_retouched_cropped-1536x898.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.opusbike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Prod_MotorAss_29_retouched_cropped.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Connect EP6: Light and Assembled in Montr\u00e9al<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-intro-light\">Made with the discerning e-bike rider in mind, the Connect EP6 is equipped with no-nonsense electric and mechanical components.
