What is Haibike FLYON? Haibike have been secretly plugging away in their design and research lab in Schweinfurt, Germany to bring, for the first time ever, an exclusive new electric bike product for 2020. Offering more torque (50% more), assistance (200% more) & range (26% more) than ever before⌠Itâs called FLYON! Head of Haibike engineering, Ingo Beutner, says:- "The eBike as we know it was completely rethought in order to launch the next generation of ePerformance. With FLYON we have been able to create a system according to our understanding and concepts. This system enables eBike riding as it should feel in our opinion: self-evidently and powerful. All components seamlessly integrate into the overall design, which convinces with a high level of integration." Highlights of the 2020 Haibike FLYON eBike system FLYON Motor System The motor is designed by a company called TQ. This company designs & manufactures direct-current motors for the control of modern satellites.  TQ has used this technology to create the HPR 120S crank drive eBike motor. The motor provides up to 120Nm of torque and assistance levels up to 820%. Thanks to the integrated freewheel, the bicycle can be pedalled just like a regular bike without a motor. When the drive is disengaged, no internal components are moving. Itâs super-efficient with ultra-high torque and ability, specifically designed to meet the demands of eBike riders. FLYON Battery System Haibike have designed all the components from the ground up using all their eBike experience to date. The battery uses a whopping 630Wh high-density cell to deliver a huge range. The optional 10Ah quick charger charges this high capacity 630Wh battery to 80% within just 60 minutes! It can be charged both on or off the bike as the battery slides out the frame. FLYON Display Controls The system offers 5 levels of assist:- ECO, LOW, MID, HIGH & XTREME. The new colour TFT display offers all the rider credentials in a neat, compact and removable display. Whilst the Haibike remote (located to the left of the bars) is quick and simple to navigate the modes. Five lovely bright colours illuminate to show the assistance mode selected alongside the same colours on the display. Easy to see at a quick glance while riding! FLYON Carbon Frameset All of this built into a brand new 2020 CARBON frameset by Haibike. This not only brings the weight down but allows complete integration of the system. It also allows Haibike to do special things like integrating lights into the rear swingarm. Not forgetting a front light to match too. All of the cables run through the 2020 carbon frame using specialist channels, so everything looks really neat. Theyâve managed to squeeze in their Haibike âMRSâ (Modular Rail System) so all the Haibike accessories (Bottle, Lock, Tool Bag etc) fit onto the frame too. In true Haibike fashion, the motor is integrated with a skid plate incorporated too, this adds protection & offers complete integration. Lastly Haibike finish off this new frameset with a stealth dropper seat post, built-in, so again no cables are exposed. They have built in the speed sensor within the rear swingarm and instead of a magnet on the spokes, the sensor is built into the rear disc. Highlights of the 2020 Haibike eConnect system Following the successful first edition of the eConnect system, a new upgraded version - eConnect 2.0 has been released. This comes built-in FREE-OF-CHARGE on all 2020 Haibike FLYON electric bikes. Offering a new modern design, a user-friendly interface and extended features for 2020. In a nutshell, Haibike eConnect tracks the bikeâs movements works as a GPS / Anit-Theft device and tracks routes you take on your electric bike. It has 'smart features' like text a family member with your location if the rider has a fall or alert you to your bike's movements if you have it parked up somewhere. For 2019 eConnect gets an improved route recording and a brand new user interface. Itâs available in more countries, more languages and eBike dealers can access bike information too. You can add more than one bike, meaning all of the families bikes can be controlled by the touch of a button. Thereâs a new app too. All current users can upgrade to the eConnect V2.0 for free!

We include links to eMTB News & e-Mountain Bike Magazine to name a couple. All of these are real riding reviews on actual bike terrain. Let's not forget that Haibike actually won the prestigious Design & Innovation Awards this year too. The judges said:- "Haibikeâs new FLYON series is probably the biggest developmental leap since the invention of the eMTB, once again proving the brandâs pioneering spirit! At the heart of the futuristic-looking carbon frame is the FLYON HPR120S motor from TQ Systems, which is the most powerful pedelec motor currently available, offering a full 120 Nm of torque. While the motor perfectly integrated into the overall concept, the bike is full of individual solutions regarding design and technology. All features are controlled by a specially developed remote and a large colour display provides the rider with all the relevant information. Haibike has succeeded in developing an eMTB that is much more than the sum of its parts." In addition to the NDURO 10.0 review listed above, Rob (From eMTB Forums) actually did a follow-up review on the AllMtn 8.0 too around some amazing trails in Itlay.

Earlier this year we visited Scott in Switzerland to preview the new 2020 Genius eRide electric bikes. Powered by the mighty Bosch Gen 4 system. We've been working alongside Scott now for some years, offering their eBike range in the UK. In July they invited us out to Switzerland to their brand new HQ to preview the latest line up of 2020 Scott electric bikes. Whilst we viewed the whole range, there was one particular range of eBikes which caught our eye - The newly designed Scott Genius eRide range for 2020. The 150mm travel Genius electric mountain bikes have been popular for many years given their versatility as a one-bike-does-it-all trail machine. For 2020, the range is completely revamped to include the new Bosch Gen 4 Performance CX motor & 625Wh battery setup. There are 3 main models in the range, with the top 700 TUNED model featuring a brand new carbon frame - a first for Scott in their eMTB line-up. Whilst we'll be offering the Genius eRide range with 29" wheels. The frame on the 2020 Scott Genius is completely interchangeable for both 27.5+ and 29" wheels. This is because of Scott's clever flip chip technology, simply change the wheels and flip the chip to retain the same BB height for any riders preference on wheels. The Scott Genius eRide bikes have a 625Wh battery as standard within the frame. The user can opt for the 'Range Booster' which adds a secondary 500Wh Bosch battery to a specific mount within the frame which fits onto the bottle cage slots. This results in a total range power of 1125Wh for maximum miles on your eBike without worry. Scott developed a fork stop headset for the Genius eRIDE. It restricts the range of motion to 60 degrees, preventing the fork crown from impacting the frame, protecting you and your new Scott Genius electric bike. The new Bosch Performance CX Gen 4 eBike motor is 48% smaller which allows the Scott engineers to integrate it further into the frame. The motor area is exposed to potential trail impacts, therefore Scott has developed a new specific skid plate. Codenamed the - Impact Damper. It's reinforced to handle impacts, is covered with a rubber layer to reduce noise and is ventilated to improve drive unit airflow. 2020 Scott Genius eRide eBike Range With 150mm of travel and 29" wheels, the new Scott Genius 2020 electric bikes are highly capable. Offering plenty of travel for most bike parks and technical tracks, whilst still feeling playful on singletrack or XC routes. Scott Genius eRIDE 900 TUNED 2020 The Scott Genius 900 TUNED is the top-spec model in the Genius range. It's the only model to feature a carbon frame, wheels, bars and stem. Offered with top-spec Sram X01 Eagle 12-Speed drivetrain, Shimano XT twin pot disc brakes & full factory series Kashima coated Fox shocks.  Priced at £6,799 / More Info - Scott Genius eRIDE 900 TUNED  Scott Genius eRIDE 910 2020 The Genius 910 is the mid-spec model offered with Fox suspension front and rear on an alloy frame. Finished with Sram GX Eagle 12-Speed drivetrain, MT520 Shimano disc brakes and an alloy Syncros wheelset.  Priced at £5,399 / More Info - Scott Genius eRIDE 910  Scott Genius eRIDE 920 2020 The Genius 920 is the base model for 2020 featuring a similar spec to the above. This time with the entry-level Sram SX group set, Shimano brakes and a Schwalbe Magic Mary Front / Hans Dampf rear tyre combo.  Priced at £4,499 / More Info - Scott Genius eRIDE 920   Summary The Genius range has always been a great line up and popular with trail riders. It's a great crossover from regular MTB bike to eMTB, with many already owning a non-pedal assist Scott.  The range looks good and we expect the limited edition 900 TUNED model to be popular with its top-end components - It looks incredible! We have models in stock right now with others arriving over the coming months including the Genius 900, which is expected in the new year. Welcome to the next generation of eBike with the new Genius eRIDE 2020. Avant-garde design, cutting edge technologies, integration and advanced battery management. The Scott Genius places a priority on the riding experience. This is the ultimate choice for riders who want confidence when the terrain gets rougher! Where will your Genius eBike take you?

This not only protects the carbon frame but keeps the cables safe from bar spins too. Other cool features include a special display mount. Custom designed by Orbea, the user can opt for 3 different display mounting options. This gives total control to the rider and a key holder built into the stem top cap, handy!

Five lovely bright colours illuminate to show the assistance mode selected alongside the same colours on the display. Easy to see at a quick glance whilst riding! All of this built into a brand new 2019 CARBON frameset by Haibike. This not only brings the weight down but allows complete integration of the system. It also allows Haibike to do special things like integrating lights into the rear swingarm. Not forgetting a front light to match too. Â All of the cables run through the 2019 carbon frame using specialist channels, so everything looks really neat. They've managed to squeeze in their Haibike 'MRS' (Modular Rail System) so all the Haibike accessories (Bottle, Lock, Tool Bag etc) fit onto the frame too. In true Haibike fashion, the motor is integrated with a skid plate incorporated too, this adds protection & offers complete integration. Lastly Haibike finish off this new 2019 frame set with a stealth seat post built in, so again no cables are exposed. They have built in the speed sensor within the rear swing arm and instead of a magnet on the spokes, the sensor is built into the rear disc.

You may have seen Haibike launched this into a few models in the range last year. Now it's available as a retrofit kit (we actually have it in stock for both Bosch and Yamaha bikes right now to our customers). Following the successful first edition of the eConnect system, now the further developed version follows eConnect 2.0. Offering a new modern design, a user-friendly interface and extended features for 2019. In a nutshell, Haibike eConnect tracks the bike's movements works as a GPS / Anit-Theft device and tracks routes you take on your electric bike. It can do smart things like text a family member with your location if the rider has a fall or alert you to your bikes movements if you have it parked up somewhere. For 2019 eConnect gets an improved route recording and a brand new user interface. It's available in more countries, more languages and eBike dealers can access bike information too. You can also add more than one bike, meaning all of the families bikes can be controlled by the touch of a button. There's a new app too. All current users can upgrade to the eConnect V2.0 for free! Now we've summed up a whole host of new features. Let's take a look at some of the new models for the Haibike electric bike range for 2019. Haibike sDuro 2019 Electric Bikes The 2019 Haibike sDuro range is designed for sporty riders, this includes trekking, touring, hybrid & light off-road bikes ranging from hardtails to short travel suspension mountain bikes. Haibike xDuro 2019 Electric Bikes The 2019 Haibike xDuro range is designed for more off-road and extreme riders. Featuring full suspension bikes ranging from Trail, All Mountain to Enduro and DownHill riding and Fat Bikes. Haibike xDuro Bikes With FLYON 2019 The new features of FLYON we mention above will come on an exclusive new range of 2019 Haibikes. This includes AllTrail, AllMtn, NDURO and Adventure bikes. All of these bikes feature the carbon frame, 120Nm of torque, 500% assistance and the 630Wh extended range battery. View the full range of Haibike FLYON eBikes to pre-order here â Haibike 2019 FLYON Electric Bikes. What do we think? We are really excited about the new range. The fact that some of the Yamaha models now feature the InTube battery setup means bikes with integrated batteries are available at an even more affordable price level. Â There's a 2019 Bosch powered trekking bike in there with the new Bosch ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) which looks really good. The big highlight is the 2019 FLYON equipped electric bikes with assistance & torque levels never before seen via a specialist eBike manufacturer like Haibike before. Expect demand to be high! Haibike has clearly put a huge amount of development into this with so many features that cover all bases for a mix of riders and practicalities. We think they are pushing the boundaries to new levels... Again! When can I get one? We will be taking early 2019 reservations on the range with more basic models arriving from September onwards. You can view the current model line up for 2018 Haibikes here. The models featuring the new Yamaha InTube 500Wh battery should be arriving from November onwards. The new Haibike FLYON equipped electric bikes will be available in 2019, with drops scheduled as early as April onwards ready for next years season. It will be important to get your order in early.

We are excited to show you a sneak preview of the world lightest carbon electric road bike. The new Orbea Gain Carbon 2019 eBike comes in at an unbelievable 11.3kg a revolution in the world of eRoad Bikes.

New for 2019 we expand the Orbea Gain electric road bike line up to include the Gain Carbon. An even lighter, more agile and special electric road bike than ever before. At first, you may not believe it's even an e-Assisted road bike, it's sleek frame design, integrated battery/motor and wiring go unnoticed on the bike. View the full range of Orbea Gain eBikes to pre-order here â Orbea Gain 2019 eBikes. The 2019 Orbea Carbon Gain bikes all share the same frame, motor & battery.

The new 2019 Carbon Orbea Gain electric road bikes are available in 4 colour choices including Red, Blue, Black and Orange. On top of this clients can special order Carbon Gain eBikes in custom spec colours via the Orbea MyO custom configurator where the factory will produce one-off bikes painted in-house to the customers specified design. The MyO custom configurator can also spec exact component requirements, tailored to each client. Please enquire if this is something of interest & we can run you through the options. What do we think? The current Orbea Gain alloy frame models took us by surprise, we've been overwhelmed with the popularity to date. No other eBike supplier ticks all those boxes when producing an electric road bike that's: Agile, Lightweight, Resistance Free, Fully Integrated and comes with full road groupsets. We expect the demand to be even higher on the new 2019 Carbon bikes to complement to alloy frame models and to top it all off the pricing across the range is extraordinary. In particular, we see the Shimano Ultegra Di2 model (Gain M20) with the fully integrated groupset on the Carbon frame to be one of the most popular models where the eShift completely complements the eDrive system - this is the future, but right now. When can I get one? We are taking behind the scenes orders to reserve bikes and we have already placed factory reservations here to ensure we are the first with stock to hand. Based on the expected popularity, we are taking reservations on a queued basis. For those lucky to get on the list, we expect the first drop of bikes from August, September and October onwards (Depending on spec/size/colour). Bikes will be supplied on a first come first served basis. Models can be reserved with a small ÂŁ399 deposit or payment upfront on MyO spec models.

When Lapierre showed us the 2018 line-up for the new Shimano integrated electric mountain bikes, we were too excited not to shout about it! We take a closer look at the new Overvolts! Lapierre has been on the eMTB scene for many years now, evolving their eBikes as the industry has grown and now with popularity in it's prime, Lapierre unveils the new OVERVOLT. We've already seen the 2018 Bosch powered Overvolt eMTB models, but Lapierre has created a new range to run alongside in a 160/140mm travel offerings. Influencers have included Nico Voullioz (10 times world MTB champion) and Lapierre's in-house design team to create something special. So What's New? Shimano Steps E8000 Motor This is the first time Lapierre have offered a Shimano powered bike in the range. Shimano hit the market with their new E8000 eMTB specific system recently. Lapierre has taken this to the next level with a custom built frame design and battery setup. More on that shortly. Suspension Travel & Wheel Size This is the first full 160mm travel range, offering a great all-around Enduro / Freeride / Trail Center setup for a one-bike-does-it-all kind of vibe. All models are available as either a 160mm travel 27.5+ wheel setup or a 29" 140mm travel set. We'll mainly be concentrating on the popular 27.5+ setup here in the UK. Frame Design & Geometry A whole new geometry setup has been created for the new 2018 Lapierre Overvolt eBikes. This includes a new shorter back end, the weight has been placed further down offering more agile handling and the bottom bracket has been pushed as far back as possible so the traction is on another level. New 'SnakeTech' Battery Tech Whilst on the frame, the battery has been contained within the down tube offering a stronger, more rigid design. The battery can be inserted via a port on the side meaning the downtube retains its rigidity without needing a long exit for the battery. The battery can be charged on or off the bike, both ways are possible due to the 'SnakeTech' design which allows the battery to bend as you insert it into the channel. A first of it's kind! What does this mean in reality? It's a better handling, looking & more nimble bike! Take a look.

The Shimano E8000 eMTB specific motor and the SnakeTech integrated battery come as standard. We are already taking pre-orders on these exciting new models and expect deliveries from May onwards.

Today we were invited to Moustache eBikes based in Golbey, to get a first look of the new 2018 Bosch powered electric bikes. Let's learn more about the 2018 range of eBikes. Moustache bikes, now in its 7th season of eBike production, invited us over to France to preview the new 2018 range of electric bikes. Since the beginning, Moustache solely focuses on Bosch powered electric bikes, they are not a standard bike brand configuring existing bikes into eBikes. Hence the superior design, quality and ride you get when it comes to any Moustache electric bike. You can learn more about Moustache in our Moustache eBikes Factory Tour article. New for 2018, Moustache has developed an awe-inspiring range. Featuring many new enhancements across a host of model variants including town, trekking, city mountain bikes and even a tandem eBike! Moustache Samedi 28 2018 Models Last year we saw the 'Hidden Power' battery integration into the Moustache electric mountain bikes. New for 2018 Moustache develops this technology into the new Samedi 28 range of trekking and commuter bikes. Using the latest 2018 Bosch eBike technologies, the Samedi trekking bikes now have fully integrated batteries on certain models. In particular, the Samedi 28.3 2018 models, available in both crossbar and low step variants. Offering a Bosch performance drive coupled with a long range 500Wh battery, 10 speed Shimano gearing and Intuvia display. A great bike for touring, trekking and commuting alike. We'd expect these to be around the £3000 mark with fully integrated mudguards, rack and lighting setup. Moustache Samedi X-Road 2018 Models Alongside the Samedi 28 bikes are a fantastic intermediate between a trekking bike and a mountain bike. Likely to sit just above the £3k mark, forget having two eBikes for different rides. See the X-Road electric bike as a do-it-all machine with all the essentials like mudguards, rack and a lighting system but with a 27" MTB wheel and tyre suitable for all occasions. Like the 28 models, these also have the higher performing Bosch Performance motor and highest spec 500Wh battery. Again available in both crossbar and low step offerings. The neat thing with the new frame design on both crossbar and low step designs is that the battery is completely interchangeable between the 2 variants. Previously you'd have a rack mounted battery on the ladies bike and a frame mount on the gents. Now both crossbar and low step use the frame mounted battery hidden in the frame. Moustache 2018 eMTB Models We had a sell-out year with the 2017 range of Moustache electric mountain bikes, mainly from the decent spec, hidden power and fantastic pricing across the board. 2018 is likely to be no different, with new models announced and improved specifications. The model range has been expanded, to include a higher spec Race 11 160mm Carbon model and also the introduction of a more basic spec entry level Trail 4, 140mm travel option. With the 'Hidden Power' carbon frame models jumping from a previous 3 variants to now 5 models for the 2018 season. The Moustache Samedi electric mountain bikes will all feature the highest performing Bosch CX motor drive system and Purion displays. Likely starting around the £4000 mark for Shimano SLX spec's, with higher performing bikes equipped with the latest Sram EX1 high range (11-50t groupset) anywhere upwards of £8000. When are they available? We will be taking pre orders already on popular models with some in stock right now. Find your 2018 Moustache and view the full range here:- Moustache 2018 Electric Bikes.
It's been a big year for Scott and their 150mm travel electric mountain bikes. In 2018 Scott push the boundaries & completely revise the E-Genius eBikes, now with Shimano Steps. The last E-Genius mountain bikes went down a storm, in particular, the 700 TUNED which initially was a complete sellout. That 150mm travel and all round trail agility and geometry set the benchmark as the perfect all-rounder for most trail riders. Be it from Enduro to All mountain riding the E-Genius was a one bike do-it-all machine. Now for 2018, Scott has completely pushed the boat out with new frames, fully integrated, all mountain bikes built on the renowned Shimano Steps eMTB specific drive system. What's new for E-Genius in 2018?  The E-Genius range is assisted by Shimano Steps E8000 motors, offering a maximum power output of 70Nm and 250W. To meet the eMTB specific needs, a 504Wh battery is equipped. Shimano Steps comes with a compact and ergonomic display well as the shift switch system on the handlebars. It provides all the relevant data, with full connectivity with Shimano Di2 components and is compatible with the new upcoming Shimano E-Tube app. Integration has been one of the main objectives for the design team of the new E-Genius. Scottâs Engineering Department has been working on specific engine covers to provide a quality finish. Offering full protection of both the drive unit & the battery regardless of riding conditions. The new E-Genius benefits from the success of its non-motorized bikes in terms of technology and optimization. Thanks to the compact Shimano Steps E8000 system, engineers managed to stay aligned to the Genius kinematics to deliver the best performance to push on every section of the trail. 2018 E-Genius model overview The new Shimano Steps equipped Scott E-Genius range is split down into three key models for 2018. All built on the same frame and drive system, it's the components that change. Scott E-Genius 700 TUNED 2018 The top spec model offering full Kashima coated factory series Fox suspension front & rear. Combined with top notch components & fully integrated Shimano Di2 electronic shifting. Price: ÂŁ6,799 | Learn more & pre order here â E-Genius 700 2018 Scott E-Genius 710 Plus 2018 The 710 is the mid spec model in the 2018 range offering full a Shimano XT drivetrain and brakes, along with Fox suspension. Finished with decent components & a Fox dropper post. Price: ÂŁ5,899 | Learn more & pre order here â E-Genius 710 2018 Scott E-Genius 720 Plus 2018 The Genius 720 is the base spec bike, offered up with a Recon fork up front & a custom spec X-Fusion rear shock. Gearing comes from Sram's new NX drivetrain & brakes from Shimano. Price: ÂŁ4,399 | Learn more & pre order here â E-Genius 720 2018 What do we think? The new E-Genius range will certainly be popular based on previous experience with this range. We particularly like the limited edition model: E-Genius 700 TUNED. Primarily because of its looks, that silky smooth Kashima coated suspension and the fact that all the gearing is completely integrated Shimano Di2. Which will, of course, work seamlessly alongside the Shimano Steps system. All in all a great range finished in the all popular 150mm travel series. Something we feel was missing from the range and particularly equipped with the E8000 specific eBike system. A great attention to detail has been made at the design stage, not only to the integration but to small features like the bottle cage mount. Sounds silly, but it's uncommon to see on a eMTB, where the battery normally mounts! When can I get one? We are taking pre-orders right now, with first deliveries as early as December for those lucky enough to have a reservation. Typically the 700 Tuned will sell out fast based on previous experience, with the other two models trailing. To see the full details and pre order yours click here â Scott 2018 Electric Bikes. Â
We take a look at the new 2018 range of Lapierre electric mountain eBikes. Now with both Bosch and new for 2018, the fully integrated Shimano Steps electric bike systems. Lapierre has always been a bike brand close to our heart, where it all started with the original Zesty and Spicy mountain bikes - Winning award after award. Following our Lapierre factory tour earlier in the year, we've been bound to secrecy about the brand's movements for 2018. Although a little early on in the season, we're excited to announce the new range of electric mountain bikes, bringing 21st-century riding! What's new for Lapierre in 2018? The new 2018 range is like no other with lots of revisions to both frames, geometry and spec. The introduction of a whole new motor system and an entirely new series. Let's take a look at the 3 main new categories: *** Please note this is an early season preview. Images are artists impressions. Specification and prices can be subject to change *** Lapierre 2018 Overvolt Carbon Bikes Last season Lapierre introduced a completely revised eMTB, all based on keeping the weight central & that all important balanced ride. Made from carbon frames with the battery down low. For 2018 Lapierre have expanded on the carbon frame range with the introduction of a couple of new models, sitting at both ends in terms of price. View the full range of Lapierre Carbon Overvolt electric bikes here â Lapierre Overvolt 2018 eBikes. They have also revised the frame design for straight top tubes and sleek designs. All the bikes have internal stealth droppers built in, 500Wh Batteries and the Bosch Performance CX system with the new eMTB mode. Key features: 148 Boost axles, the DWS (Dual Wheel System) which allows both 27 & 27+ wheels to be mounted, OST+ linkage and of course the GLP (Gravity Logic Project) where the battery is located exactly central within the bike. For 2018 all Carbon Overvolt models will come as standard with a 27.5+ wheel/tyre setup. Lapierre 2018 Overvolt Integrated Bosch Bikes The biggest change in the Lapierre 2018 Bosch powered lineup - Full 500Wh Bosch battery integration within the frame. Completely new 150mm travel frame designs to integrate the battery and Lapierre have even been able to make the rear stays 10mm shorter. Interestingly although the range will come as standard with 27.5+ wheelsets. Lapierre has designed these new 2018 bikes to have reversible chips in the dropout, so it can take either 29" or 27.5+. The only electric mountain bike range versatile enough to do this. View the full range of Lapierre Overvolt Integrated eBikes here â Lapierre 2018 E-Bikes. Key features: Sport mode replaced by new Bosch 'eMTB Mode'. Integrated 500Wh battery. The shorter back end, more playful, great looks and convertible dropout. Thich allows both 27+ & 29" wheels to be mounted. Finally, Lapierre's own stealth seat dropper posts built in on all models. Lapierre 2018 Overvolt Integrated Shimano Bikes A brand new model line for 2018! The fully integrated Shimano Steps system will highlight the Overvolt 2018 range. Using the E8000 motor and display, Lapierre has worked in their own custom battery integration. The battery is actually a specific Lapierre solution with the approval of Shimano of course. Lapierre calls this new tech: 'Snake Power Technology'. The idea is the 500Wh battery is bendy and is fed in by a small port on the side, this allows specific integration techniques, an increase in frame rigidity and overall looks. View the full range of Lapierre Shimano equipped eBikes here â Lapierre 2018 Electric Bikes. These new Shimano Overvolt models are available as a 29" or 27.5" specific models. This is denoted by the model name i.e the 929i is 29" specific and the 927i is 27+". Same price and spec just 2 variants of each bike with the 29" being 140mm travel and the 27.5+ being 160mm. Key features: Boost axle system, Snake Power Technology, 27.5+ and 29" formats. Specific new integration, compact and ergonomic display. 4 sizes from S to XL and a new geometry for better mass centralization and overall centre of gravity. Great looks and bottle cage compatibility. When are they available? We are already taking orders on the 2018 Lapierre electric bikes. Expect Bosch integrated models set to arrive from November.

We are live at the 2018 Haibike electric bike range launch here in Schweinfurt, Germany. We give you a first glance over the coming 2018 range of Bosch & Yamaha powered eBikes. Haibike have been redefining ePerformance since electric bikes began. Pioneering the first ever electric mountain bike when the other bike brands didn't know what was coming. Handbuilt in Schweinfurt, Germany - The Haibike electric bikes continue to be market leaders. The launch set off at a secret location close to Haibikeâs production facility in Germany. The presentation was attended by top dealers from around the world in an exclusive first look at the 2018 model ranges, that will officially be announced later this year. What's new in the Haibike 2018 range? Previously, the Haibike electric bike range was split by sDuro (Yamaha) and xDuro (Bosch) defining which models were offered with which system. For 2018, these names have a whole new meaning. Now the 2018 Haibike electric bikes are clearly defined by two categories: XDURO = Extreme | SDURO = Sporty XDURO: Suitable for more extreme riders. Looking for that big hitting, thrilling, all terrain eBike. SDURO: More suited to sporty riders. Practical and stable without being over the top. The new model ranges will make navigating the Haibike eBike range easier and clearer. This follows with easy model specification numbers and colour families to match. This change comes with a refreshing approach from the HDC-M (Haibike Design Center) based in Munich: dedicated to the styling, design & range formats across all the Haibike bikes.  *** Please note this is an early season preview. Images are artists impressions. Specification and prices can be subject to change *** Haibike SDURO 2018 Electric Bikes As above, the 2018 range of Haibike SDURO bikes will now consist of sporty models including Trekking, Cross/Hybrid, Hardtail MTB's and some short travel 120mm full suspension eBikes.

Now in 2018, this is extended to many more. Offering higher performance at more affordable levels. Some of the entry spec bikes will continue to be based on the standard Yamaha PW series motors to keep pricing sensible. Now a new series launched in the Yamaha ranges, which we blogged about recently - Yamaha PW Series SE. Which will be offered on 4 of the mid range electric bikes. Haibike launched eConnect onto the first 5,000 Yamaha 8.0 spec electric bikes last year to let the system settle into the market. For 2018 Haibike eConnect will come later on as a retro fit.

The 2018 Haibike electric mountain bikes benefit also from 'eMTB Mode' where the rider can set one mode and the system alternates accordingly, depending on the terrain. The Bosch equipped Haibike models benefit from a geometry change for more playful ride time. Whilst integrating the Bosch eBike battery, keeping weight central and lower down.  Alongside the eMTB's the 2018 Bosch Haibike Trekking/Cross bikes also get a huge revision when it comes to integration.

Let's take a first look at the 2018 Raleigh Mustang eRoad bike. With drop handlebars, all terrain tyres and fully equipped with the Shimano Steps eBike system. Drawing on the success of the Mustang, Raleigh has paved the way for the future of Adventure bikes with their new Mustang Electric road bike. The Mustang eBike boasts all the same features that make adventure bikes popular. Giving you the ability to ride both on road & off-road but with the added benefit of electric assistance. Think less road bike and more ultimate drop bar do everything bike! Who's the Mustang best for? The Mustang Electric is the perfect companion for the every cyclist that enjoys a bit of everything but wants to maintain the speed and stamina of a younger rider. Maybe you want to commute without getting hot and sticky, then head out for a bit of off road fun at the weekend? The Raleigh Mustang eBike is designed for the real world of getting to work or grabbing some fun at the weekend. Capable on the road or on the trail, it gives you the versatility to go where you like. Take the towpath or the short cut through the woods, deal with the potholes and 'in-different tarmac of the British roads'. Powered with Shimano Steps The 2018 Raleigh Mustang E is powered by Shimanoâs E6000 STEPS system and using SRAMâs proven Apex 1 gearing this drop bar eBike is at home on all terrain. Electric bikes are currently limited to a maximum of 15mph which a reasonable road rider could easily do, but take your bike onto a trail or cycle path maintaining 15mph isnât so easy! Raleigh consciously chose to equip Shimano motors as they have virtually no drag. Meaning that if you are going faster than 15mph the motor wonât slow you down when itâs not working. Something particularly important for keen riders with this type of bike. Why is it the 650B wheel size? How does this smaller yet also larger tyre benefit your ride? Easy - Traction & comfort. While a 650b x 42c tire has roughly the same outer diameter as a 700c x 30c tyre, it also has a much wider footprint. That equates to a much larger contact area with the terrain that youâre riding on and therefore, more traction. On the comfort side of things, these high-volume tyres can be run at much lower pressures than their traditional road counterparts. This lower pressure easily absorbs bumps in the road and creates a much more comfortable and supple ride quality. To sum up the Raleigh E-Mustang? The new 2018 Raleigh Mustang offers the most versatility to your everyday rider, utilising a powerful system & lightweight Kinesis frame. Comfort comes from the tyres & carbon fork. With a full array of gears and available in 3 sizes, the Mustang takes on a whole new level of cycling. You can view the full electric bike specification here - Raleigh Mustang Electric Bike.
