Autonomy
Battery range: 35km in eco mode / 25km in normal mode / 20km in sport mode (indicative information which may vary according to tire pressure, terrain, conditions of use and the weight of the user and his load).
Correct tire pressure is 4.5 BAR.
Battery
The 187 Wh battery (24V / 7.8 Ah) located on the frame cannot be locked. Nevertheless, it is easy to transport.
Battery and charger supplied with the bike.
Service life: For 500 complete cycles (1 cycle = recharge from 0 to 100%).
Beyond these 500 recharge cycles, the battery still works, but not to the maximum of its initial capacity. There may be a loss of up to 20%.
Warranty: 2 years.
Engine
250W brushless rear-wheel motor.
Pedal-sensor-controlled electric assistance.
Motor torque: 26 Nm, ideal for light ascents (e.g. bridge climbing ≈ 3%).
Frame
Aluminum frame with integrated battery. The battery can be charged directly via the frame or taken out of its slot for recharging at home, at work...
A quick-release frame locking system keeps the bike folded and makes it easy to transport.
No stem locking system. This bike cannot be used folded.
Transmission
6-speed twistgrip Shimano. 6-speed rear derailleur Shimano Tourney.
52-tooth chainring.
Brakes
Aluminum V-Brake calipers for powerful, progressive braking.
Aluminum levers with rubber pads for greater comfort.
Braking cuts off electric assistance.
Good to know: electric-assist bikes use more brake pads than conventional bikes because of the weight and power of the motor.
Handlebars/stem/steering
Foldable, height-adjustable aluminium stem for greater comfort.
Quick-locking lever with automatic safety feature
Semi-high aluminium handlebar.
Saddle/saddle post
Anti-theft, anti-rotation aluminum seatpost, diameter 34 mm.
Graduation on seatpost for easy adjustment.
Tires/wheels
Size 20 x 1.75.
Tires with anti-puncture reinforcement.
We have developed these tires with skinwall technology, for greater lightness and performance.
We recommend that you inflate your tires to a pressure of 4.5 BAR for optimum performance, greater range and to limit the risk of punctures.
Double-wall rims for greater rigidity.
Motor integrated into the rear wheel for improved steering maneuverability.
Equipment/accessories
Battery-powered front and rear lights controlled from the handlebars.
Bike equipped with kickstand and mudguards.
Compatibility
The bike is compatible with:
- the B'TWIN folding bike carrier (ref: 8328464)
It may be necessary to remove the magnet from the rear wheel to install the carrier comfortably. The magnet can be repositioned once the carrier has been installed.
- the TILT carrying bag (ref: 8271631)
- children's trailers from Hamax (ref: 8607793, 866501) and Bike Original ( ref: 8597302)
The TILT 500 E is INCOMPATIBLE with a baby carrier.
Battery storage and maintenance
VERY IMPORTANT:
This battery does not have an "extended standby" mode.
If your bike is winterized or not used for a long time, you must charge your battery at least every 3 months to prevent it from deep discharging and becoming permanently unusable.
Before carrying out any work on your electric bike (cleaning, electrical or mechanical maintenance), remove your battery and switch off your EAB.
Maintenance tips
Tire pressure decreases over time. On average, the loss is 1 bar/week.
Remember to re-inflate your tires regularly: riding with deflated tires reduces your battery's autonomy, increases your pedaling effort and encourages punctures.
Before carrying out any work on your electric bike (cleaning, electrical or mechanical maintenance), remove your battery and switch off your EAB.
When wintering, charge your battery at least every 3 months.

The geometry of this bike offers optimum comfort for riders measuring between 1.45 m and 1.85 m.
