SILK 365 :eLight High
Stylish, lightweight, and comfortable. The SILK 365 :eLight High polishes the dusty image of clunky e-bikes and redefines urban lifestyle. The TQ motor and battery nestle almost invisibly in the elegant design and, together with the high-quality carbon frame, reduce the overall weight to a minimum. A natural feel and excellent handling guarantee pure riding pleasure - an e-bike for people with high demands on aesthetics and riding performance.
FOR ALL THOSE WHO VALUE A NATURAL DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The SILK 365 :eLIGHT has been designed to save a lot of weight. The carbon frame ensures efficient power transfer and also high sitting comfort. The fork is made of carbon as well and ensures low overall weight and optimum stiffness. The flyweight can be carried effortlessly over obstacles – which is particularly advantageous for stairs or pasture fences.
An insider tip in terms of comfort is the optional adjustable seat post. It allows riders to get on and off the bike easily, for instance, at traffic lights. And thanks to optional studded tyres, the trekking bike also cuts a fine figure in off-road terrain.
If you opt for a gear hub, we install a rust-free and maintenance-free carbon belt instead of a classic bicycle chain.
TQ MOTORS: NATURAL RIDING FEEL THAT IS ALMOST INVISIBLE
Do you love the natural feel of a bike, but would like a little assistance when pedalling? Then the TQ motor is the right choice! You have to be as quiet as a mouse to hear the motort when cycling to work. The drive unit is barely visible, as all the components are beautifully integrated into the bike. The current battery status, riding mode and range are visible on the LED display integrated into the top tube. You will only feel the slight energy kick of the HPR50 "made in Germany" drive unit when riding.
