Electrical System: Shimano STEPS E5000 Integration

Battery System: Shimano STEPS E8014 - 418Wh Intelligent Power

• High Energy Density: This 418Wh capacity, integrated battery is perfectly concealed within the frame. It provides both an aesthetically pleasing look and protection against theft.

• 189 KM Range (Shimano Test Standard): This range is achievable under standard test conditions (ECO mode, 70kg driver, flat surface). It offers weeks of freedom in urban use without needing to recharge.

• Removable and Lockable: It can be safely charged in your home or office by simply removing it with a key. This is a critical feature for apartment dwellers and users with security concerns.

Motor System: Shimano STEPS E5000 - 40 Nm Torque

• Mid-Drive Motor: This type of motor, integrated into the center of the bicycle's pedal system, offers a natural and balanced riding experience. Because the center of gravity is low, the bicycle's balance and control are superior.

• 40 Nm Torque: Provides powerful yet smooth support, especially noticeable on uphill climbs and in stop-and-go traffic. Motor power is directly proportional to your pedaling force and the assist mode you choose.

• Quiet and Efficient Operation: Shimano's advanced motor technology delivers virtually imperceptible quiet operation. Pedaling efficiency is very high.

Control and Interface: STEPS E6100 Display & E6010 Remote Control

• STEPS E6100 Color Display: The modern, easy-to-read color display clearly shows all critical data such as speed, range, support level, battery status, and total mileage. It's easily visible even in daylight.

• STEPS E6010 Mode Adjuster: This button on the handlebars lets you instantly switch between ECO, NORMAL, HIGH, and BOOST boost levels. You have control without touching the screen, keeping your eyes on the road.

• Charging Time: With the original E6002 charger, the battery charges to 80% in 3.5 hours and to 100% in 6.5 hours. The fast charging feature is very practical for daily use.

Mechanical Infrastructure & Equipment: The Details of Quality

Frame and Suspension: Comfort and Robustness

• Aluminum 1.1/8-1.5" Tapered Integrated Frame: The large head (tapered) design provides superior riding rigidity and control. The lightweight aluminum construction balances the weight of the motor and battery.

• Suntour NEX-E25 63mm Road Suspension: The perfect solution for curbs, borders, and speed bumps in the city. 63mm of travel softens shocks, enhancing back and ankle comfort.

Gear System: Shimano 1x8 - Simplicity and Efficiency

• 1x8 (Single Front Gear, 8 Rear Gears) System: Eliminates the need for complex front derailleurs and shifters. Fast, quiet, and reliable shifting with the Shimano Altus M315 shifter and Shimano Acera M3020 rear derailleur.

• Shimano HG400 11-40T Cassette: The wide range of teeth from 11 to 40 provides speed on flat roads and comfortable climbing on steep inclines. It is perfectly compatible with motor-assisted bikes.

Brake System: Shimano MT201 Hydraulic Disc - Absolute Safety

• Shimano MT201 Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Powerful, modulating, and low-effort braking performance regardless of rain, mud, or dust. Essential for the extra weight and speed of an e-bike.

• Shimano RT10 160mm Rotors: Large diameter rotors at the front and rear dissipate heat more effectively, preventing loss of braking performance and maximizing stopping power.

Wheels and Tires: Durability and Comfort

• Rodi Web Double-Walled Aluminum Rims: The "eyelet" design offers both lightness and maximum durability. The double-walled construction is resistant to the load of the e-bike.

• Schwalbe Delta Cruiser Plus 26"x2.00 Tires: Ideal for the city! Puncture-resistant thanks to the PunctureGuard coating, they offer excellent puncture resistance. The 2.00" width provides a comfortable and stable ride. Reflectors on the sidewalls increase visibility at night.
