Swiss Company Introduces New Electric Bicycle With 300W Motor And 426 Wh Battery. The Model Is Ultra-Light And Features Modern Design.

The Swiss manufacturer Thömus recently announced the launch of its latest electric bicycle, named Swissrider. Featuring a minimalist design and weighing 11.3 kg, the model is seen as the lightest available in the current e-bike market. The highlight is its electric motor based on the same technology used in NASA’s Mars Rover, the Maxon Bikedrive Air, which can generate a continuous power of 250 watts and a peak output of over 300 watts.

The bicycle  features three battery options, which are 250 Wh, 426 Wh, or 360 Wh, plus a 250 Wh range extender that can be equipped as an option. However, the company has not yet released information about the performance of the electric bicycle with a 300-watt motor. The model is an ultra-light and versatile electric bicycle that, according to the company, meets the demands of urban and sporty cyclists. With an elegant design and an integrated battery in the down tube, the model can easily be mistaken for a regular bicycle.

The frame structure is developed with carbon fiber, making its weight even lighter. The pedal assist is strong enough to give an extra boost to the cyclist on longer rides both in and out of the city, making it a great means of transportation for those focused on sustainable mobility.

The Swissrider is available in four versions on the market: Road, Ultegra Di2, Urban, and Dura Ace Di2, each with different features and prices, which can range from US$ 5,750 (R$ 29,377) to US$ 7,750 (R$ 39,596).

Electric Bicycle May Be Sold Outside Switzerland

The Urban XT version comes equipped with mountain bike components from Shimano and has two finishing levels, while the Road version is aimed at more sporty cyclists. Thömus is a globally recognized company in the cycling world and recently announced its first store outside Switzerland, in the United States. However, there is still no information about the arrival of the electric bicycle to other markets.

With people’s increasing concern for sustainable mobility, the electric bicycle can be an interesting option for those looking for a quick and economical means of transportation.

With a high-power motor and a battery that provides various autonomy options, the vehicle is a means for those who also seek to avoid traffic in big cities. Thömus’s launch promises to be an option for urban and sporty cyclists looking for a versatile and high-performance electric bicycle.

New Models Arrive on the Market

Zundapp was a motorcycle company from Germany that produced a wide range of vehicles from 1917 to 1984. The company’s models were well known for their high-quality engineering and inventive ideas, especially after World War II.

One of its new popular models, which focuses primarily on the basic market, is the Z101, an affordable foldable electric bicycle developed to be an urban vehicle that can deliver comfort and performance to cyclists.

The model is available in a variety of colors: white, blue, and silver, with new colors coming in the next few months. The Z101 is a standard foldable electric bicycle with 20-inch wheels and an aluminum frame that can be folded in the middle.
