E-Bike News: The extraordinary frame design of the Urwahn Urban E-Bike Platzhirsch makes a clear statement in the direction of an avant-garde way of life. The innovative Softride steel frame is manufactured directly in Germany using the latest production technologies and impresses with its unique look. Urwahn Bikes and the premium mail order company Torquato are now launching a special edition of the extraordinary model in close cooperation.
The heart of the Platzhirsch urban e-bike is undoubtedly the tubular steel frame made of chrome-molybdenum steel with organic frame geometry. The entire production process, from the drawing of the tube profiles to the 3D construction of the connections and the frame production, takes place entirely in Germany. The special Softride structure of the frame is intended to compensate for weight forces and uneven ground while driving and ensure a high level of comfort. According to the manufacturer, the conscious decision to use steel as a material was made taking sustainability aspects into account. Steel is not only much easier and more flexible to process, it is also easier to repair and recycle than aluminum or carbon.
Both the rear wheel hub motor and the 250 Wh battery come from the German electric drive specialist MAHLE ebikemotion. The drive generates up to 40 Newton meters of torque, and the system is controlled by the MAHLE ebikemotion iWoc Trio. Three power levels and the pushing aid can be conveniently activated from the handlebars. A toothed belt is used as a low-maintenance alternative to the chain. The LED lighting is integrated in the handlebars or in the seat post. Another feature is the Berthoud Cycles saddle made of extra-thick, vegetable-tanned leather. Its substructure can be adjusted using a stretching mechanism, so that the leather tension, which naturally decreases over time, can be easily restored.
With the limited edition, Urwahn Bikes wants to show the diversity of the all-rounder in a classic way and make a clear design statement. For this purpose, the top dog comes in three different colors with different interpretation options. The color Glossy White stands for the flawlessness of the bike and at the same time symbolizes the perfection of the innovative Softride steel frame. The color Glossy Black exudes a powerful touch of luxury. The shade also gives the purist a very special exclusivity that wants to be seen and experienced in form and function. The color British Racing Green, which once adorned racing cars, provides a journey into the past. It should be a symbol of freedom and vitality.
The price of the special edition is given as 4.999 euros, the weight including pedals and mudguards is according to the manufacturer 15 kilograms (frame size M). The exclusive urban e-bike is now available on the website torquato.de
