Corratec LifeS AP5

The "LifeS AP5" model from the "Corratec" brand, released in 2021, is a high-quality e-bike that stands out for its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The bike’s frame is based on the Corratec Life S, which provides a stable and comfortable foundation for all components. For the brakes, Corratec has opted for Shimano AMT200 disc brakes, with a 180 mm front rotor and a 160 mm rear rotor, ensuring reliable braking performance.

The LifeS AP5 is fitted with an 8-speed Shimano Nexus gearbox, controlled via the corresponding Shimano Nexus 8S gear lever. This combination enables precise and easy gear changes. The fork is integrated into the frame, contributing to the bike’s elegant appearance.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with a Herrmans MR GO e-bike front light and an Axa Compactline 20 rear light, both of which ensure good visibility and safety on the road. The crankset consists of a ZZYZX E-Power crank with 38 teeth, whilst the sprocket is a Shimano Nexus 16T 8S. Power is transmitted via a KMC Chain Z1 chain.

The LifeS AP5’s handlebars are Ergotec EWG drop bars, combined with an Ergotec Cobra stem, which allow for an ergonomic and comfortable riding position. The tyres are Innova 20" x 3.0, fitted to a ZZYZX 20" wheelset. These tyres offer a good balance between stability and comfort.

The saddle is a ZZYZX Comfort Saddle, mounted on a ZZYZX Alloy Seatpost, which ensures additional comfort on longer rides. The e-bike is powered by a Bosch Active Line Plus motor, which is powered by a Bosch PowerPack with a capacity of 500 Wh. The Bosch Purion display offers a user-friendly interface for controlling and monitoring the motor and battery performance.

The price of the 2021 Corratec LifeS AP5 is 2899 EUR, making it an attractive option in the high-end e-bike segment.
