Sleek, Innovative, Urban, Smooth, Powerful
The city streets can be a merciless battlefield, but for the modern urban warrior, the Stadtfuchs eBike is like a well-sharpened sword. This is no mere mechanical contraption; it's a finely-tuned creature bred to tackle the concrete jungle, day in and day out.
Equipped with an innovative softride frame, it doesn't merely roll on the asphalt; it glides, absorbing the city's scars and flaws. Its 40 Nm torque-powered electric rear-wheel drive thrusts it forward with determination and grace, covering a distance of up to 62 miles. Run out of juice? No worries. The optional range extender can support another 25 to 37 miles. The city streets never end, and neither does the Stadtfuchs.
Navigating those dark alleyways or dimly lit roads, the integrated LED light system takes on impending threats from a distance. As for the thieving magpies of the urban landscape, the smart theft protection keeps them at bay, guarding the customized components that make this bike yours.
Now let's dive into some features that take the Stadtfuchs into another dimension.
Unconventional and innovative, the softride frame is inspired by nature and sets new standards. The rear wheel is suspended elastically, providing a smooth ride that counteracts road irregularities without additional suspension. Agility meets comfort here. Purists will appreciate the depth of the design, and tech enthusiasts will find their heart rate rising with excitement.
Underneath that steel skeleton, the MAHLE ebikemotion electric powerhouse remains hidden, but it's there, throbbing, ready to assist you dynamically for up to 62 miles. Smart Bike App connectivity and tracking make this bike a part of the modern digital age, while an unobtrusive LED light system illuminates your path.
A minimalist appearance combined with sophisticated functions further characterizes the Stadtfuchs. The integrated LED front light makes obstacles visible long before they can become a problem. And the 3D-printed Softride steel frame showcases a technological leap towards the future, providing explosive propulsion.
The 5-Dot-Led-Matrix integrated in the saddle post keeps you visible in the bustling urban chaos. An integrated battery unit of 250 Watt-hours discreetly hidden in the frame, a powerful rear motor, and a nearly silent Gates Carbon Drive CDX belt drive emphasize the stealth and efficiency of this urban glider.
Stopping power comes from the robust Shimano hydraulic brake system, and the comfortable saddle promises pressure-free seating. Continental Grand Prix Urban tires provide perfect grip, and optional accessories like aluminum fenders fit seamlessly into the overall design.
The Stadtfuchs eBike isn't just a mode of transportation; it's an extension of the urban explorer. With prices starting at €4,799 or comfortable monthly installments from €100, this bike beckons to the adventurer in all of us, challenging us to truly conquer our urban environments.
