SKS mudguards in a shiny chrome finish protect against splashes and dirt. The ACID Pro Flat Mount kickstand makes it easy to park the bike.

The semi-integrated ACID luggage rack is RILink adapter-compatible, making it easy to attach bags and baskets. The third-generation Bosch Active Plus motor (50 Nm), with an output of 250 watts, provides powerful assistance when combined with the Bosch PowerTube 500 battery. The Bosch Purion display offers simple and intuitive control of the e-bike, whilst the Bosch 2A charger ensures efficient charging.
