Flyer Upstreet5 Anniversary Edition: 25 years of premium e-bikes

June 21, 2020 by Florian Nowak

Product news: A quarter of a century ago, the Swiss bike manufacturer Flyer, as one of the pioneers in the field of e-bikes, dared to enter the market. For its 25th birthday, Flyer would like to show what the brand stands for with a special model while at the same time sticking to its roots. For this purpose, the Flyer Upstreet5 Anniversary Edition comes in a limited edition in a timeless design with noble equipment.

As a pioneer, Flyer had a significant impact on the market for e-bikes 25 years ago and has always stood for the best Swiss quality when it comes to premium e-bikes. Even today, the manufacturer is (still) one of the top brands. With a quarter of a century of experience, stories and a number of happy Flyer drivers, the brand would like to celebrate its birthday with an exclusive anniversary model. The Flyer Upstreet5 in a special Anniversary Edition should not only make the hearts of enthusiasts beat faster.

As a small highlight, the Anniversary models come with an individually numbered anniversary plaque, making them a gem for all e-bike fans. Because the Upstreet5 flyer in the birthday edition is not only exclusive in terms of design and equipment, but also the number of pieces was limited to 1000. All bikes from the Anniversary Edition will receive an individually numbered anniversary plaque. Those who access it quickly can even choose their desired numbering.

“With this special model for our 25th birthday, we pay homage to the premium concept of our brand down to the smallest detail. We emphasize the special look of the frame with a special, polished surface finish on selected components. Whether it’s the drive, gears or other components, we only use the finest in our anniversary bike” – Philipp Suter, chief developer at Flyer.



Flyer Upstreet5 Anniversary Edition

The Flyer Upstreet5 is one of the Swiss premium manufacturer's absolute top sellers, so it only seems logical that this bike was chosen for the limited Anniversary Edition. With a timeless design thanks to an elegant special paint finish in a retro look and matching design elements down to the tiniest parts of its high-quality components, the anniversary bike should meet the highest demands. A powerful Panasonic GX Ultimate motor, the balanced geometry and a battery for long ranges ensure endless driving pleasure. The external battery is 630 Wh and can be easily removed for charging. The drive is via a Gates belt and can be controlled electrically via the Rohloff E-14 hub gear remote on the handlebars. Clever innovations such as the particularly intuitive controls and the high-quality 3,5-inch D1 display with GPS in the middle of the handlebars, which provides important state-of-the-art riding data and offer real premium riding performance. Braking is done with Shimano Alfine disc brakes with 180 mm discs on the front and rear wheels. The two 27,5-inch Skin&More tires from WTB offer enough grip and puncture protection for many enjoyable rides. An Abus lock integrated into the luggage rack protects against theft and Supernova lighting and an E3 rear light ensure visibility.
