The PowerDrive is not just an e-bike – it is a real powerhouse for everyday urban life and long tours. With its 1000-watt rear-wheel motor, a top speed of 45 km/h and an impressive range of up to 200 km, it takes performance, endurance and riding pleasure to a new level.
Whether you want to commute quickly through the city or explore adventurous routes – the PowerDrive impresses with a robust aluminum frame, powerful disc brakes and precise gears from Shimano. Thanks to the high-quality Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour tires, you can enjoy maximum grip and comfort on any surface.
Maximum power and range
The highly efficient 1440 Wh battery with Samsung cells ensures an exceptional range of up to 200 km – ideal for long journeys without charging breaks. Energy recovery by the motor (recuperation) also makes it possible to recharge the battery when braking and maximize efficiency.
Comfort & safety in every situation
With the specially developed AureusDrive 70 mm suspension fork and the extra-wide 40 mm stanchions, every ride is smooth and comfortable – even on uneven paths. The powerful Tektro disc brakes (203 mm) ensure reliable and precise braking performance, even at high speeds.
Another highlight: the PowerDrive is designed for trailer operation and can tow a total weight of up to 150 kg with a special trailer coupling – ideal for transporting loads or family outings with a children’s trailer.
