CUBE EPO 29er

昨年の12月、ARAYAExcella Raceを予約し、同時にMuddy Fox 29erも注文。
しかし、Excella Raceの納車は3月中旬から4月中旬、Muddy Fox 29erも5月ごろとまだまだ先の話。









 ところで29erを検索しているとこんな電動アシスト自転車を見つけました。
電動アシストと29erの組み合わせ。
これは面白いなぁ。











 CUBEというドイツの会社の29erです。
36Vという強力なバッテリーを搭載し、30段変速。
ディスクブレーキは前後180mm径と強力。
バッテリーを搭載しているようには見えないデザインがすばらしい。

MTB Hardtail EPO for off-road use.
The stiff, triple butted frame provides control and riding pleasure.
Longer climbs are easy to master thanks to the electric tailwind.

EPO becomes legal – faster with electric performance optimiser.
With the Cube pedelec EPO 29er 2012 electric assisted bike you travel quickly, relaxed and in style.
the sporty epo is the urban mobility of the future.
under perfect conditions the aerodynamic seat-mounted 36V battery (13Ah/468Wh) allows riding distances up to 100km (62 miles).
after 1000 charging cycles the battery maintains a capacity of 80%.
the Cube epo allows the battery to be charged either mounted to the frame or removed.
all cables are connected with a patented magnetic plug system.
180mm disc brakes ensure the necessary braking power due to the higher average speeds.
the Wireless Control remote makes the pedelec unattractive to thieves.
the bike won't work if this is removed.
