Hercules Rob Fold R8

The "Rob Fold R8" model from Hercules, launched in 2024, is a versatile e-bike that stands out in particular for its foldability and high-quality features. The frame is part of the eFold Series and is made from AL6061 aluminium, giving the bike a robust yet lightweight structure. Weighing 25 kg and with a maximum load capacity of 135 kg, the Rob Fold R8 is suitable for a wide range of riders between 155 cm and 200 cm in height.

The bike is fitted with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, with a diameter of 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear. These brakes provide reliable stopping power in a variety of conditions. The Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gear system with coaster brake ensures smooth and precise gear selection. The Shimano SL-C6000-8 shift lever complements the system for intuitive operation.

The rigid aluminium fork and the adjustable Satori UP2+ stem allow for a customisable and comfortable riding position. The touring handlebars, featuring a 37° backsweep and Ergo grips, also contribute to the bike’s ergonomics. The Schwalbe Big Ben Performance tyres with RaceGuard technology offer stability and puncture protection.

The e-bike is powered by a Bosch Active Line Smart System motor with 250 watts of power and 40 Nm of torque. The Bosch PowerPack battery, with a capacity of 400 Wh, offers sufficient range for everyday use. The Bosch Purion 200 display allows for easy control of the electric assistance.
