The opening follows a cooperation between Storck and Stadtwerke Wertheim, under the name "E-Provider". The electricity customers of Stadtwerke can

Storck Aerofast.3 Pro Disc
The Aerfast.3 is Storck's fastest road racer because the development has been fully focused on aerodynamics without neglecting ride quality, weight or stiffness. The complete system integration of the brake and shift cables in the frame with the help of the cockpit has a lot to offer not only aerodynamically but also visually. The fork specially designed for the Storck Aerfast.3 also improves the air flow thanks to its wide design, which also ensures better aerodynamics and also offers a large tire clearance for more comfortable and contemporary tires. However, the good aerodynamics are of no use at all if all the power were lost. Therefore, a high-quality carbon layup has also provided the necessary rigidity and good power transmission. Despite the high rigidity values, the lowered rear end in combination with the protruding seat post ensures pleasant comfort in the seating area, which is a significant plus point on long rides or on bumpy ground.
Storck Aerofast.3 Comp Disc
The proven Aerfast.3 is now also available as an identical, cheaper Comp version. Due to the use of other carbon fibers, this model variant is slightly heavier, but like the Pro model, it has a timeless design in "Sectional Aerodynamic Shaping" style. The aerodynamic Aerfast.3 fork is also adopted in the Comp variant. The focus here is also on the aerodynamics thanks to an excellent CW value. Ambitious and price-conscious cyclists will quickly find what they are looking for in this racer.

Storck Aero3
The Storck Aero3 is aimed at all speed fighters and fast drivers. The triathlon and time trial machine offers a first-class driving experience and, thanks to various adjustment options, enables an individual seating position. The system-integrated features for drinking bottles, food and tools as well as the unmistakable "Zeitjäger" design fulfill all the wishes of a triathlete. Even if disc brakes are already part of the new standard on racing bikes, they are often not found on triathlon bikes. Storck is also following the current path in terms of brake technology and has therefore installed disc brakes on the Aero3 for the best braking performance and the decisive seconds in technical segments. When it comes to tire clearance, 28mm of clearance offers enough space for common and current models. The Aero3 also shines among the time trial bikes at 5.789 euros with an excellent price-performance ratio and is the fastest model ever built by Storck in this category.
Storck Urban CTS
At just 19,5 kilos, the Storck Urban CTS is one of the lightest city e-bikes on the market. Despite its low weight, the bike has a lot of power with its powerful 250 Wh Shimano motor. In addition, the battery integrated in the frame not only offers a simple design but also a long range of up to 200 kilometers. At speeds of over 25 km/h, the motor is continuously decoupled and at higher speeds it is hardly audible and there is no resistance. Due to the excellent damping properties of the carbon, additional suspension is not required for the fork, for example, which means that a considerable amount of weight can be saved. For everyday use, the Storck Urban CTS City E-Bike comes fully equipped with a pannier rack, lighting and mudguards and is therefore ideal for the city and longer leisure tours.
