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.

Avinox M2S

A high-performance motor with 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm in Boost mode), a peak power output of 1500 W, and a lightweight design (2.59 kg). The second generation features flat-wire winding for higher efficiency, quiet helical gearing, and Dual Gear Engagement technology, which eliminates rattling during descents without assistance. Internal resistance has been reduced by 41%, ensuring a natural ride even with a depleted battery. Integrated sensors enable adaptive power control based on cadence and riding conditions. Intelligent electronics ensure lightning-fast pedal response and smooth power delivery that will support you even on the most demanding terrain.
