Carbon fibre
E-bikes that use carbon fiber are a common choice among amateur and professional cyclists. Previously, it was mainly road e-bikes, but today you can enjoy the benefits of carbon on almost any type of e-bike. It remains an ideal choice among lovers of fast driving and off-road driving. The main advantage of e-bikes with a carbon frame is exceptional shock and vibration damping, they resist corrosion and wear very well and, compared to other materials, they excel in their low weight.

Motor Shimano EP 8
The Shimano EP8 electric motor, rated at 250W and 85Nm of torque, means 21% more power compared to the most powerful motor to date, the Shimano E8000. 10% lighter weight with a total of 2.6 kg thanks to the use of magnesium for the motor block.
