The birth of the "lightweight electric bicycle" optimized for urban life
In recent years, the demand for " lightweight electric" bicycles has been increasing rapidly in Japan . In particular, there is a demand for bicycles that are easy to handle and have powerful driving performance, especially when traveling on narrow streets, in front of crowded stations, or using elevators in apartment buildings. The new model developed by Sptebik is attracting attention for its design that overturns the conventional wisdom about electric bicycles.
Three innovations pursued by Sptebik
Lightweight at 43kg
Adopting aluminum alloy frame and modular battery design. Achieves 14% weight reduction compared to conventional electric bicycles (average weight of 50kg) It also reduces the burden of pushing things up apartment stairs or using an elevator.
20inchikonpakuto design
The compact body with a total length of 1550mm allows for effective use of bicycle parking spaces. The tire size is 20 inches, providing both maneuverability and stability. The handlebar with a width of 1200mm supports smooth passage even in the most difficult shopping areas.
180kg high weight
The reinforced furure structure makes it suitable for one adult to go out for large shopping trips on the weekends, and the under-saddle extension can secure luggage up to 15 kg.
Professional performance for everyday use
48V500W power source
It produces torque that far exceeds that of conventional 250W motors. Its power does not weaken even on gradients of 15 degrees, and it provides stable running even on steep slopes during commuting or when carrying heavy luggage on the way home from shopping.
Shimano 7-speed high-speed precision
The bike is equipped with a Shimano internal gear shifter. On rooftops, you can use a high gear to cut through the wind, and on narrow alleys or in crowded areas, you can use a low gear for fine control. The gear shifting is done with a grip, so you can operate it intuitively even while wearing gloves.
User-oriented design philosophy
Walk 100 km in 5 hours
The 10A lithium ion battery can be charged overnight to cover a full day's travel every other day. The remaining battery level is displayed in three stages on the LED panel in the center of the handle, eliminating the worry of running out of battery.
Commitment to safety design
Double Disc
- Equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for rotation. Braking power in rainy weather is 30% improved compared to conventional models.
Reflective material integrated fure arm
- A light reflector is built into one half to enhance visibility at night.
Comparison with actual usage
| Kiki Yuen | Traditional model course | Ghostly solution method |
|---|---|---|
| Distance commuting (5km) | It is heavy and difficult to move up stairs | Lightweight design weighing just 43kg makes it easy to push by hand |
| Purchased items at the time of purchase | The loading platform is small and the luggage is unstable | The expansion rack can hold two cardboard boxes. |
