    A new version of the Neomouv Allegria 2 e-bike has been listed by Decathlon in France. The Allegria 2 has an integrated battery and is designed for city riding. It has many similarities to its predecessor, as well as key differences.

    The new Neomouv Allegria 2 electric bicycle is available on Decathlon France for €2,199 ($2,385), although both wheel size options are currently out of stock. This listing could precede the full release of the e-bike in other European markets and beyond.

    Customizable 2024 Models Elevate Velo de Ville’s E-Bike Game

    Electric bicycles are evolving, and Velo de Ville is at the forefront of this transformation. The German e-bike specialist is rolling into the 2024 riding season with four exciting new models, each designed to cater to a wide array of preferences and riding styles. What sets these bikes apart is their emphasis on customization, allowing riders to tailor their bicycles to fit their unique needs perfectly.

    The diverse range of e-bikes can cater to a wide range of people

    The lineup kicks off with the AEB Urban Commuter, a bike that’s as versatile as it is efficient. Available in several frame and wheel configurations, the AEB series is powered by Bosch motors, offering a range of performance options to suit different urban adventures. From the compact 40-Nm Active Line motor in the AEB 290 to the robust Performance Line CX motor in the AEB 990, there’s an AEB for every city dweller.

    Pricing: AEB 290 – starting from $2,599
    AEB 990 – starting from $3,999

    For those who crave adventure beyond the city limits, the SEB model, dubbed the “SUV” of e-bikes, combines rugged design with off-road capability.

    Equipped with a suspension fork and durable Schwalbe Johnny Watts tires, the SEB is ready for anything from daily commutes to weekend explorations.

    Pricing: SEB – starting from $3,299

    Urban comfort gets a new definition with the CEB model, designed for a smooth and relaxed riding experience.

    The Bosch Performance Line SX motor ensures a natural pedal feel, while the bike’s comfort-enhancing features, like a suspension seatpost and full-coverage mudguards, make for an effortlessly enjoyable ride.

    Pricing: CEB – starting from $2,899

    Lastly, the KEB model brings compact convenience to the urban landscape.

    Its small frame and 20-inch wheels make it ideal for navigating city streets, while still packing the same punch as its larger counterparts with the Bosch Performance Line SX motor.

  • Sale Begins for Skarper E-Bike Conversion Kit, Featuring Rear Disc Brake Integration

    Sale Begins for Skarper E-Bike Conversion Kit, Featuring Rear Disc Brake Integration

    Skarper has recently launched its highly anticipated e-bike conversion kit, which utilizes the bike’s rear disc brake. This innovative conversion kit was first introduced in 2022 and is now available for purchase.

    Unique Design

    The Skarper e-bike conversion kit stands out from the numerous bicycle conversion kits on the market. Unlike traditional kits, Skarper’s kit taps into the bicycle’s disc brake system to power the converted e-bike. It includes a sleek 4kg clip-on mount that seamlessly integrates the motor, battery, and electronics into the bicycle. This compact unit is attached to the bike’s chainstay and uses the disc brake to drive the rear wheel. As a result, the kit does not require complex modifications to the bike itself, maintaining the bike’s integrity and ensuring a hassle-free conversion to an e-bike.

    Innovative Brake Engagement

    One of the unique features of the Skarper e-bike kit is its method of engaging the disc brake without interfering with the braking surface. Instead of making contact with the standard section of the disc, the kit engages a section closer to the hub. This requires the replacement of the bike’s disc rotor with the Skarper rotor. However, Skarper assures users that this alteration does not significantly affect the bike’s performance when the kit is detached, allowing riders to easily switch back to pedal power.

    Impressive Performance

    The Skarper e-bike kit complies with European regulations, offering a power output of 250W and a maximum assisted speed of 25km/h. Unlike some e-bike conversion kits, the Skarper kit is activated by pedaling rather than using a throttle. With a single charge, the kit can achieve a range of 50km, and the battery can be fully recharged in just 2.5 hours.

    Pricing and Availability

    The Skarper e-bike kit is priced at £1,295 ($1,650). Despite its high price tag, the initial batch of kits has already sold out. Skarper is currently accepting pre-orders for the next batch, which is expected to be delivered shortly.

    Introducing the Advanced Rover 45 E-Bike with Multiple Sensors and Wires

    Embracing Digital Drive Technology in Electric Bicycles

    The realm of electric bicycles is experiencing a surge in advancements, notably with the incorporation of ‘digital drive’ technology emerging as the latest breakthrough. An exemplary model is the Rover 45, a bike co-created by Look and Cixi, diverging from the traditional chain or belt linkage between pedals and the rear wheel. Instead, it employs a cutting-edge approach that harbors the potential to shape the future landscape of e-biking.

    A Shift in Pedaling Dynamics

    The Rover 45 comes equipped with sensors and wires that deliver a distinctive pedaling experience. As the rider pedals, these sensors communicate with the motor situated at the bike’s rear, propelling it forward. This unique system allows the rider to pedal at any time, whether the bike is stationary or coasting. Beyond assisting in propulsion, it aids in charging the bike’s battery, maximizing the rider’s input efforts.

    Spearheading the Digital Drive Evolution

    While the Rover 45 leads the charge in exploring digital drive technology, other companies like Pendix are delving into this realm as well, crafting e-bikes that prioritize not just the destination but the journey itself. However, the Rover 45 sets itself apart with its exceptional speed, surpassing the average e-bike velocity across Europe, where speed constraints for e-bikes are typically enforced.

    Unveiling the Practical Applications

    The impact of this technology transcends speed upgrades and visual enhancements, holding practical implications, especially for cargo e-bikes. Tailored for transporting heavy loads, these bicycles often feature elongated and bulkier frames, posing challenges with traditional chain or belt mechanisms. Digital drive technology optimizes their design and boosts overall efficiency.

    A Glimpse into Tomorrow

    While still in its conceptual stages, the Rover 45 offers a preview of the future of e-biking. It embodies a fusion of traditional cycling and cutting-edge technology, pushing the boundaries of our expectations for two-wheeled companions. This innovation brings forth enthralling possibilities for various e-bike categories, particularly those necessitating more than what standard designs can provide.

    In conclusion, the Rover 45 mirrors the evolving landscape of electric bicycles. Its digital drive technology introduces a fresh element to e-biking, revolutionizing how riders pedal and paving the way for heightened efficiency and design potentials. As the e-bike industry advances, the future promises exciting avenues for electric bicycles and their riders.
