Introduction to the eUrban E-Bike
So, Esel just launched their new eUrban e-bike, and it’s quite a looker especially because of it’s unique ash wood build. Now compare that with other e-bikes out there like the Velotric Tempo or that Decathlon Rockrider E-ACTV 900 which is mostly made out of aluminum alloy. The standout here is that natural wood frame which adds a nice, stylish touch. Plus, it’s not just about looks, as the bike weighs about 16.5 kg (36.3 lbs), making it pretty lightweight for an e-bike.
Model Variants and Features
They got two versions: the eUrban Basic and the eUrban Performance. The difference between them is kinda simple but key—weight, shifter, and tires. The basic one sports 28-inch aluminum wheels, a 10-speed Shimano Deore RD-T6000 shifter, and tips the scales at 18.5 kg (40.7 lbs). Now, the performance version upgraded to 28-inch Pancho Craze carbon wheels, with an 11-speed Shimano Deore XT RD-M8000 transmission, and it’s about 2 kg lighter than the basic model. So if you want extra speed and lightweight, look at the Performance.
Power and Components
This bike isn’t just pretty; it packs some serious power too! It has a rear wheel hub drive motor paired with a 350 Wh integrated battery. This setup offers a torque of 42 Nm, and you can expect around 80 km (49.7 miles) on a single charge. Charging is also quite quick, taking roughly four hours from empty to full. Both variants feature Shimano MT410 hydraulic disc brakes which are supposed to give you solid stopping power, and a carbon fork to smooth out rough terrains.
Size Options and Pricing
If you’re wondering about size, Esel makes sure there’s something for everyone as the eUrban is available in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. Price-wise, the Basic version goes for €3,999, while the Performance model costs €4,999. Both models are currently available for purchase on Esel’s official website.
