I notice the price is written in small print hidden at the bottom of the page...euros 4699.00.....with the pound post Brexit at 1.17 ish that is a very expensive bike.
I am sorry I just don't get this current trend to put little batteries on an e-bike and then charge a lot of money for it. I have always been of the opinion that any e-bike should have minimum 10Ah battery.
We seem to be down to about 19-21 kgs with a decent size battery,Bafang SWX size motor,gears,mudguards,lights,led display....I think that's pretty light.....if you reduce the battery size,throw all the gears/mudguards/lights,use a pathetic power motor you can get down to below 15 kgs,but is this a useful all weather bike that pedelec members want to buy,especially at close to £4K?
KudosDave

Less is more.

Especially in this case.

I would have to ride one to form an opinion.

There's no requirement for a capital letter following a colon.

IMHO that's one ugly looking ebike

This one is better. The rear dropout is a work of art! I wonder if they would sell just the frame?

Just back from Germany, a fantastic show with loads of superb bikes. The star of the show for me was the new STEPS MTB 8000 shown on the Shimano stand with their electronic gears. The best mid motor I have ever tried. Amazing.

Not everyone knows how to use their brakes correctly. an ABS system on the rear wheel would prevent a lot of accidents during panic braking. Great Idea!
