Battery
The 252Wh (36V/7Ah) battery is integrated into the rear luggage rack and is removable for easy transport.
It can be locked with a key to prevent theft.
Service life: 500 complete cycles (1 cycle = recharge from 0 to 100%). After 500 recharge cycles, the battery still works, but not to its full capacity.
Warranty: 2 years. Battery and charger supplied with bike.
Battery can be ordered for longer autonomy (ref: 8669826).
Autonomy: 3 assistance modes.
- Eco" mode: up to 50km range. It compensates for the weight of the bike and lets you go further.
- "Normal" mode: up to 40km range. It allows you to get over uneven surfaces without difficulty, and helps you cope with the wind.
- The "Boost" mode: up to 30km of range to go faster at 25km/h and cope with bridge climbs.
Range varies according to tire pressure, terrain, conditions of use and the weight of the user and his load.
Display

To add autonomy with an extra battery
You can, of course, buy an extra battery if you're going to be doing a lot of touring, covering many kilometers and/or several days.
/ !To know:
The 36V 11.6 Ah battery (capacity 417Wh) is fully compatible and gives you between 45 and 70 kms of autonomy. It is available from our after-sales service (ref: 8669826).
Engine
The Brushless motor is located in the rear wheel and offers 35 Nm of torque for a maximum power of 250W.
As you pedal, the motor takes you to 25km/h more or less quickly, with more or less force depending on the mode selected on the control screen.
This assistance is triggered by pedaling thanks to a pedaling frequency sensor system.
Folded bike support system
We opted for a strap to hold the bike in the folded position for storage. This also allows the bike to be ridden in folded mode when desired.
This system is simple and effective.
This rubber strap is attached to the rear rack and then clips onto the stem to hold the whole thing together.
We tested the strap's resistance: 2,400 cycles (1,200 plugs/1,200 deplugs) with a pulling force of 13Nm.
Frame
Hi-Ten steel frame for comfort.
The side-folding system takes up very little space: at home, in the trunk of a car, in a camper van... your bike will be forgotten.
To improve stability when folded, the frame is equipped with a bike rest under the chainstay.
Fork
Rigid Hi-Ten steel fork for added strength.
Transmission
* Equipped with a 6-speed derailleur Shimano Tourney, it will help you get through the few difficulties you'll encounter on your journey (climbing bridges, starting at a red light with an easier gear). Shifting gears is easy thanks to the twist grip.
* 52-tooth chainring.
* Freewheel Shimano 6 speeds (14/28).
- smallest development: 2.96 m per pedal revolution, 28 teeth
- largest development: 5.90 m per pedal revolution, 14 teeth.
Pedals / Crankset
* Folding pedals to reduce the size of the folded bike.
Once the pedals are folded and the stem folded, the bike can be stored along a wall with a reduced footprint.
* Aluminum crankset with 170mm cranks
* Double chainring housing to prevent derailment and protect from dirt.
Brakes
Aluminum V-brake calipers ensure effective, progressive braking.
Aluminum brake levers.
Good to know:
Electric-assist bikes use more brake pads than conventional bikes because of the weight and power of the motor.
Regular brake adjustments are essential for good braking performance.
Stem / Handlebar
- Stem: aluminum, height-adjustable to suit everyone and provide greater comfort when riding.
This adjustment allows you to manage the inclination of your back and the position of your arms.
- Handlebars: steel. Diameter 22.2mm.
The handles are ergonomically shaped for greater comfort. You can change the inclination to suit your height.
Saddle/ Seatpost
Saddle: wide and comfortable, made of seamless foam.
Saddle post: aluminum.
Diameter 31.6 mm.
It is graduated for easy adjustment, and a groove guides you during handling and ensures that your saddle is always straight.
An "anti-theft" stop is available to prevent easy removal of the saddle without tools.
Wheels
20 inches.
Double-walled rims for greater strength and machined sidewalls for improved braking performance.
Steel hub with ball bearing.
Tires
* 20 x 1.75.
* Skinwall technology for greater resistance, efficiency and grip.
* Sidewalls:
- reflective stripes for night-time visibility
- brown for vintage look
To limit the risk of punctures, improve performance and optimize range, we recommend inflating your tires to a pressure of 4.5 BAR.
This corresponds to your bike's maximum inflation pressure.
We recommend checking your tire pressure every 3 weeks.
Lighting
The lights are powered by the bike's battery.
- Front lighting power: 15 Lux
- Rear lighting power: 5.4 Lumen
You can choose to switch them on or off by pressing the button on the control screen.
Note:
They comply with the most stringent French and German standards.
For your safety, even if your battery runs out of power, the front and rear lights remain on for 2 hours.
Accessories and equipment
- Integrated rear luggage rack + turnbuckle included.
- Integrated front carrying interface to accommodate the 25L specific folding bike bag (ref: 8735484 / release date March 2023).
- Height-adjustable kickstand to adapt to ground inclination and your transported loads (front bag, panniers, etc.).
- Front and rear mudguards.
- Bell.
Compatibility

Its steel structure and equipment provide a lot of comfort at the expense of a little more weight.
This bike is not designed to be carried frequently and for long periods.
Carry it only to pass a few steps or to put it in the trunk of a car or camper van.
The rest of the time the bike can be ridden in folded mode; the handle under the saddle provides comfort.
User size and maximum load
The geometry of this bike offers optimum comfort for riders measuring between 1.45 m and 1.95 m.
This bike meets the requirements of the ISO 4210 standard.
The maximum weight is 110 kg (rider + bike + luggage).

Maintenance tips
Tire pressure drops over time. On average, the loss is 1 BAR/week.
Remember to re-inflate your tires regularly: riding deflated 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.
Battery care and storage
/!\ Store/charge your battery in a cool (between +10°C and +25°C), dry place away from direct sunlight.
Do not store a discharged battery (1 LED flashing) to avoid deep discharging, which could impair its capacity.
Remember to recharge the battery (even when not in use) at least every 3 months to avoid deep discharging.
If you can't charge your battery regularly, switch it to standby mode, even if 1 automatic standby occurs after 2 hours.
