The fork is an original rigid i:SY Compact fork, which helps to reduce weight and makes maintenance easier. Optimal visibility is ensured by the FUXON FF-100HB front light with a 100 lux LED and high-beam function, complemented by a COMUS COB-LED rear light mounted on the luggage rack. The spec is rounded off by VP Components folding pedals, a STRONGLIGHT Magan e-bike crankset and a GATES CDX Centretrack timing belt drive.

The VELO Zecure saddle with Hydro Foam in size S, together with the i:SY seatpost – 415 mm long and 34.9 mm in diameter – ensures a comfortable riding position. SKS Bluemels mudguards, 65 mm wide, protect against splashes and dirt. The PLETSCHER Kickstand Comp 40 Flex ensures the bike stands securely, whilst the Abus ISY lock set provides security.

The i:SY Carrier luggage rack with Monkey Load adapter offers practical transport options. The e-bike is powered by a BOSCH Performance Line CX motor with an output of 250 W at 36 V.
