Kalkhoff ENTICE 1.B MOVE

The "ENTICE 1.B MOVE" model from Kalkhoff, launched in 2023, is a versatile e-bike suitable for both urban commuting and light off-road adventures. The frame, designated 1|23 Bosch, provides a solid foundation and contributes to a maximum permissible weight of 130 kg.

Combined with the 545 Wh Li-ion battery and the Bosch Intuvia 100 display with LED remote, the system enables efficient and comfortable travel.

Safety is ensured by the Tektro T280 hydraulic disc brakes with two pistons, which provide reliable braking even in wet conditions. The gear system consists of an 8-speed Shimano Acera, controlled via the Shimano Altus shifter. This enables precise and easy gear selection, supported by the Shimano HG200 sprocket and the KMC X8 chain.

The SR Suntour NVX fork, with 100 mm of travel and adjustable damping, offers comfort on uneven terrain. Lighting is provided by the Herrmans H-Black MR4 LED front light and the Herrmans H-Trace LED rear light, which ensure good visibility in the dark.
