Please note that this is an ex-demo bike, and as such, does show some signs of use. Any damage on the bike is purely cosmetic, and the worst of this is shown in the listing images. There may be other minor scratches elsewhere on the bike, however the bike has been Invisiframed so much of this damage has not affected the paintwork. The price has been adjusted to reflect this, and the bike cannot be returned for any of the above reasons.
THE NUKEPROOF MEGAWATT CARBON: EWS-E DEVELOPED, MADE FOR THE SRAM POWERTRAIN
The new Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon is a bike we couldn’t be more proud of. Developed and designed in Northern Ireland, it harnesses the latest and greatest in eMTB technology and wraps it in a carbon frame designed to tackle the nastiest trails on the planet.
Now made from carbon and designed with a host of new features, the Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon was developed over two years as the test bed for SRAM’s first-of-its-kind Eagle Powertrain — an integrated e-bike ecosystem that meshes SRAM’s Eagle AXS Transmission and a revolutionary new drive system into one cohesive package. This partnership gave Nukeproof engineers the unique opportunity to tailor-make the new Megawatt Carbon to fit the SRAM system like a glove.
The Megawatt Carbon is a mixed-wheel 297 E-Enduro bike built around our race-winning Mega platform with 170mm of travel front and rear. It’s a design we’ve been refining for over a decade.
It’s the next chapter in our quest to make the fiercest E-Enduro bike on the planet. Poppy yet stable, high-tech yet simple; the product of two years of testing, development, and collaboration — the Megawatt Carbon is the best E-Enduro bike we’ve ever developed.
THE NITTY GRITTY
The beating heart of the Megawatt Carbon is the new SRAM Eagle Powertrain. Powered by an all-new drive unit that makes 90Nm of torque and a 720Wh battery, the Powertrain ties together the drive unit, the Eagle Transmission, and AXS wireless shifting into one package that works in unison.
Two core features of the system are an optional Autoshift function and Coastshift. A rider can still shift the bike manually using the shifter pod, but the Autoshift feature allows the bike to change gears in the background to maximize motor function and let the rider focus on the trail ahead. Coastshift allows riders to change gears without turning the cranks; solving the age-old problem of mashing gears when a descent suddenly becomes an ascent.
Settled and stable yet playful and agile, the Megawatt’s geometry has earned a reputation for surefootedness in terrain where most bikes fight for traction. We didn’t want to lose those qualities, so the rear linkage has only been slightly tweaked from the existing Megawatt. The suspension feels supple over small bumps and supportive in bigger hits, striking a balance between playful and planted in technical terrain.
Based on rider feedback, we cherrypicked the best features from previous models added new ones such as storage under the motor cover for trailside essentials and improved internal cable routing, among other things.
SRAM’s Megawatt test bike was raced and developed through the 2022 E-Enduro World Series with the Nukeproof-SRAM Factory Racing team and the SRAM BlackBox race team, putting it to the test in some of the most difficult conditions on the planet.
The result is an E-Enduro machine that’s simple, fun, and rides like an absolute rocket ship. For us, we think it’s the finest bike we have ever produced.

Ready to ride
Every bike from Start Fitness is fully checked & assembled before despatch and will arrive, almost, ready to ride. Each bike is assembled by one of our CyTech accredited mechanics and then packed into one of our custom boxes.
*This process has a lead time of 3-5 working days.
Unfortunately during peak times this may be slightly delayed. We will however, aim to despatch your bike as quickly as possible. Minimal assembly, with basic tools, is required before you can ride. Assembly tools are not usually included.
Making sure you are home
Once fully checked and boxed, we will contact you to arrange a suitable delivery date when you will be home to take delivery. Our bikes are despatched with a premium delivery service which usually delivers next working day (excludes weekends & bank holidays) for mainland UK orders, it may take slightly longer for some areas, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and outlying Scottish areas. European bike deliveries usually take approximately one week.
Taking Delivery
Any mechanical or cosmetic issues need to be reported to us within one week of the delivery date. If you do not plan on using the bike straight away, we advise that you remove it from the box and check it over ASAP as we cannot be responsible for any reported issues (other than standard warranty issues) later than one week from the date that the bicycle was delivered.
First Service
After a few weeks of riding (we recommend around 6-8 weeks, regardless of how much the bike has been used), a new bike will need a service to make final adjustments and to re-check all nuts and bolts. This is necessary as the bike goes through a ‘bedding in’ phase, after which, final adjustment may be necessary. We recommend that this is carried out by a CyTech qualified mechanic.
It is important to have these checks carried out to prevent any avoidable problems which may not be covered by warranty and to ensure the smooth running of your bicycle. If you’re local to us, we’re able to offer this first service free of charge* at our Newcastle store (NE1 6JE). You’ll just need to call our workshop on 0191 917 3825 to book your service in, and don’t forget to bring your proof of purchase when you drop the bike off with us.
If you’ve had the bike delivered, it will be your responsibility to ensure a first service is carried out at a trusted bike shop local to you, preferably by a Cytech certified mechanic. Start Fitness are unfortunately not able to cover any costs associated with this service if carried out by another store.
*Please note that this complimentary check-over does not include any labour to replace worn parts or to fit new accessories. All bikes should be delivered to us in a clean and serviceable condition, or a £15 cleaning charge will be payable.
Bike Servicing
Bicycles need to be serviced regularly, as a guideline we would advise on at least one full service per year and/or a standard service twice a year. If the bike is used regularly in adverse conditions, more regular servicing may be required.
