Market: It looks like a powerful all-mountain fully, and according to the manufacturer it also rides the same way, but it has an "invisible" built-in electric motor: With a weight of less than 15 kilograms, the Vivax Libero sets the benchmark in the field of e-fully and lightweight construction undoubtedly new standards.
At first glance it is hard to believe that the Vivax Libero is actually an e-bike. The solution to the riddle: Both the motor and the battery are housed in the seat tube. The saddle tube motor "vivax assist" weighs just 6 kilograms including the 1,8 Ah battery. The Austrian manufacturer specifies 110 watts as the maximum power output, which is transferred directly to the crank at the push of a button. The drive can be switched on and off with the handlebar button at any time while driving. The motor power, which supports the biker with up to 100% additional power, is regulated via the cadence. As with a conventional bike without motor support, your own performance and speed are controlled via the gear shift. Vivax specifies the runtime as at least 60 minutes under full load. Alternatively, a 9 Ah battery is also available, which is said to offer a runtime of 90 minutes.
Without the motor switched on, the Vivax Libero E-Fully should offer the driving dynamics of a conventional all-mountain bike. Due to the low weight and the central location of the motor and battery, the additional weight should not be noticeable when driving. The Vivax Libero rolls on 27.5 inch wheels and offers a suspension travel of 150 mm both at the front and at the rear. A Rock Shox FS PIKE is used as a fork, the rear end is held in check by a Rock Shox Monarch RT3. The brakes and the 2×11 gears come from Shimano's XT group. The price for the neat E-Fully is 5.599,00 euros. A frame kit is also available, but here the price is on request.
