Eflow is launching the PM2018 e-city/trekking bike line in 2, the three models of which, Amsterdam, Paris and Copenhagen, feature a Shimano Steps unit and a battery integrated in the down tube.
Shimano Steps, 11-speed Alfine Di2, integrated down tube battery: the PM2-Line by Eflow
With the models Amsterdam, Paris and Copenhagen PM2 E-bike specialist Eflow is launching three new pedelecs with the Steps drive system from Shimano, which are designed for use in the city and on tours. The three e-novelties have in common: a new, strikingly styled aluminum frame, the Shimano battery discreetly integrated into the down tube and the centrally placed Shimano Steps mid-motor. With a maximum of 250 watts of power, it should support its user adequately. On all three bikes, the Eflow makers combine the tried-and-tested electric motor from Shimano with the electronic 11-speed Alpine Di2 gear system from the same company. The models that Eflow uses its PM2line has been expanded, there will be classic men's, trapeze or step-through frames in three sizes each (step-through frames: two sizes).
Practical details of the PM2-E-bikes
In terms of high steering precision and ultimately driving safety, Eflow has given the three e-bikes a 15 mm thru-axle on the front wheel. Also found at all PM2models have elegant aluminum mudguards that take into account the wide range of use of the bikes. Eflow also mounts a neat, small bag on the rear fender, in which essential utensils - such as tire repair kits - can be elegantly transported.
Copenhagen PM2: E-city/trekking bike with 29" tires and Shimano equipment
The Copenhagen PM shown here rides on large 29" tires from Maxxis with a comfortable 2.1" width2. The Shimano Steps mid-engine is joined by the clear Shimano Di2 display and the aforementioned 11-speed Alpine Di2 gears. The Suntour fork with 63 mm spring travel should take the roughness out of rough country lanes and cobblestones. Shimano disc brakes are responsible for deceleration. The price of the Copenhagen PM2 amounts to €3.499; Eflow has not yet announced a delivery date for the new e-bike at the Eurobike.
