Hercules Rob Fold F5

The 2023 Hercules Rob Fold F5 is a versatile e-bike that stands out thanks to its high-quality features and well-thought-out design. Priced at 4,199 EUR, this model offers a wide range of features that are ideal for both everyday city commuting and longer rides. The frame is made from robust AL 6061 aluminium from the eFold Series, which gives the bike, weighing 22 kg, a high level of stability. The maximum load capacity is 135 kg, allowing for a generous payload.

Safety and control are ensured by Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, both front and rear, with a diameter of 160 mm. The bike is fitted with a Shimano Nexus 5-speed system, operated via a Revoshifter and featuring a freewheel. This ensures smooth and reliable gear changes.

The rigid aluminium fork contributes to the bike’s stability, whilst the Schwalbe Big Apple tyres with RaceGuard technology ensure a comfortable ride on a variety of surfaces. The trekking handlebars, with a 37° backsweep and 28 mm rise, offer an ergonomic riding position, supported by integrated Ergo grips. The adjustable stem also allows the handlebar height to be customised by up to 150 mm.

Lighting is provided by a Hercules FS-50 LED front light with up to 50 lux and a Busch & Müller Toplight 2C LED rear light, which ensure visibility and safety in the dark. The Selle Royal LookIn Relaxed saddle and the Kalloy seatpost offer comfort on long journeys.

The bike is powered by the Bosch Performance Cruise Smart System motor, delivering 250 watts of power and 75 Nm of torque. The Bosch PowerPack battery, with a capacity of 545 Wh, ensures a sufficient range, whilst the Bosch Intuvia 100 display clearly shows all the key information.

Additional features such as the Monkey Load System luggage rack with spring-loaded flap, the Massload two-leg stand and the ABUS battery lock with XPlus cylinder enhance the bike’s practicality. The plastic mudguards from SKS and the Herrmans Slyde chain guard offer additional protection in bad weather. Overall, the Hercules Rob Fold F5 offers a well-thought-out combination of performance, comfort and safety for discerning cyclists.
