TQ Motors Explained Simply

Whether you're commuting to work or climbing a mountain peak, the advanced TQ motors offer smooth, natural support like never before. All components are beautifully integrated into the bike’s frame—so much so that they might easily go unnoticed. And to actually hear the motor, the surroundings would have to be dead silent. What you do notice is the gentle support that feels like a small energy boost—almost like you’ve just had an energy bar. 

The HPR transmission is located at the crank area, playing a major role in creating that natural feel by reducing friction and noise. Additionally, the pin ring technology allows for an extremely compact motor design, resulting in optimal power transmission and very low overall weight. Thanks to the integrated flywheel, even in freewheel mode or with the motor off, there's no unnatural resistance. 

A TQ-powered e-bike is the ideal choice for those who want a ride that feels completely natural—and nearly weightless. If you’re mostly riding in the city, the Silk 365 :eLight High is sure to turn heads. At least visually—because you’d hardly guess it’s an e-bike by looking (or listening).

The drive unit is barely visible on the bike itself. The easy-to-read LED display is beautifully integrated into the top tube and shows key info such as current battery status, selected ride mode, and remaining range. 

You can easily pair the display with your bike computer or smartphone via ANT+. The free TQ E-Bike app gives you real-time access to your ride data and lets you personalize your support settings to suit your preferences. 

Also included: the minimalist remote unit on the handlebar. It lets you effortlessly switch between the three support modes or activate the walk assist – ideal when you need to push your bike. 

Need more power for longer rides? The optional Range Extender gives you that extra boost. Compact like a water bottle and powerful like an energy kick, it adds 160 Wh to your bike’s battery capacity and weighs just 960 g. Thanks to the dual charge port, you can charge it together with the main battery without removing it from the frame. 

Who is the Range Extender for? 

You love spontaneous evening rides but also want to go the distance? The Range Extender is perfect for riders who: 

• Want to cover longer distances or more elevation. 
• Prefer peace of mind (goodbye, range anxiety!). 
• Use their e-bike for bikepacking or weekend adventures. 
• Seek maximum flexibility without a complex upgrade. 

Conclusion: Plug & play for more range – no compromise on looks or handling. 

All these extras – and many more features to turn a great bike into your dream bike – can be selected in the SIMPLON configurator. Customize any of our bikes to perfectly match your style and needs.
