The bike’s aluminium frame is named I:SY Bosch, which stands for durability and stability. The maximum load capacity is 140 kg, indicating a solid construction that ensures a reliable ride even when fully loaded.

The bike is fitted with MAGURA ‘HS22’ brakes and brake levers, which ensure safe and effective braking performance. The gear system consists of a SHIMANO “Nexus” 8-speed hub, which, together with the SHIMANO gear lever, ensures precise and smooth gear changes. The fork is also made of aluminium, which reduces the overall weight whilst enhancing steering precision.

Lighting is provided at the front by the B&M “Lumotec IQ Eyc” with 50 lux, whilst a B&M rear light is fitted at the rear. These ensure good visibility and safety on the road. The UNION “SP-153” folding pedals make it easy to store the bike, whilst the STRONGLIGHT 44-tooth aluminium crankset, together with the SHIMANO 16-tooth sprocket, ensures efficient propulsion. The KMC “E01 EPT” drive completes the drivetrain.

The handlebars are an ERGOTEC “Ladytown” model with a diameter of 31.8 mm, paired with HERRMANS “Line” grips for comfortable handling. The stem is an ERGOTEC “Piranha 650B”, which, in combination with the SPEEDLIFTER “T14”, offers a reach of 140 mm, thus allowing for individual adjustment. The headset is a VP “A42E”, which contributes to stability and steering precision.

The rims are MACH 1 “Kargo”, fitted with SCHWALBE “Big Ben Plus” tyres in size 55-406 at both the front and rear, ensuring good road holding and shock absorption. The front hub is a SHIMANO “Deore HB-T610”, whilst the rear features a SHIMANO “Nexus” 8-speed hub with a coaster brake. Stainless steel spokes contribute to the stability of the wheels.

The SELLE ROYAL “Nuvola 5060” saddle, combined with the CONTEC “Brut” aluminium seatpost, ensures comfort even on longer rides. CURANA “C-Lite” mudguards made from composite material protect against splashes and dirt. The HEBIE “Chainglider” chain guard prevents dirt build-up and extends the chain’s service life.

The PLETSCHER “Comp 18 Flex” kickstand provides stability when parking the bike, whilst the RACKTIME “Stand it Shine Evo i:SY” luggage rack with integrated light offers additional storage space. The e-bike is powered by a BOSCH “Active” mid-drive motor with 36 V and a rated continuous power output of 250 W. The BOSCH lithium-ion battery, with a capacity of 400 Wh, ensures a sufficient range, supported by the BOSCH “Intuvia” display, which offers four assistance levels as well as a push assist function. Overall, the i:SY DrivE S8 RT in blue offers a balanced combination of technology, comfort and safety, making it ideal for urban use.
