Advantages

With an e-bike, you can experience carefree cycling tours: enjoy the countryside, feel the freedom of being outdoors and rely on the powerful motor assistance at all times. Uphill climbs lose their terror, long distances become effortless - leaving more energy for the essentials: pure riding pleasure.

Our Velociped tours rely on first-class e-bikes from the Velo de Ville brand. These are specially manufactured to meet our high standards and stand for comfort, quality and durability. Production in Münsterland (North Rhine-Westphalia) also promotes sustainable and regional economic activity. Other models are also used on tours with our partners - always with the same first-class quality so that you can enjoy your trip to the full.

Riding

With an e-bike, the motor provides assistance exactly when you pedal. You decide for yourself how much power you want to use - the motor adapts automatically. You can also use the control unit on the handlebars to adjust the level of assistance to suit the terrain and your riding style. The motor assistance is limited by law to a maximum speed of 25 km/h. If you exceed this speed, the motor switches off. If you exceed this, the motor switches off and only reactivates as soon as you fall below this limit.

Technology at a glance

E-bikes combine a lot of advantages. The electric drive ensures relaxed cycling, even on long stages or hilly routes. Other features, such as a suspension seat post and front fork as well as well-coordinated gears, ensure additional riding comfort. 

With freewheel, you can turn the pedals back as far as you like to adjust your position for the next pedal stroke. This is not possible with a back-pedal model. In addition, with a freewheel you can position the pedals as you wish when cornering.

If you are used to a classic riding experience, ride in the city and like to brake with the back pedal, the back-pedal version might be more comfortable for you.

In short, a freewheel e-bike offers more flexibility, better control and less maintenance, while a back-pedal system may be more familiar and comfortable for some riders.

As with our e-bikes with coaster brake, our e-bikes with freewheel are equipped with the latest generation of Bosch motors. The Active Line Plus motor is characterized by its low weight and a very quiet and barely noticeable pedal resistance, even when the assistance is deactivated. The result is a very natural riding experience.

Our bikes with freewheel also use a powerful battery with the latest lithium-ion polymer technology and a range of approx. 100 km. To better protect the battery from external influences, we have opted for an internal battery with a cover for these bikes. As the battery is barely visible, it not only emphasizes the elegant design of the bike, the cover also offers greater protection against rain, dirt and theft.

The Purion 200 display from Bosch combines compact size with modern technology and enables intuitive control of the e-bike. It sits directly on the handlebars and offers a clear, color display with the most important riding data. Speed, battery charge level and support mode can be seen at a glance. Thanks to the integrated control unit, all functions can be conveniently controlled with the thumb without having to take your hand off the handlebars. The pushing aid can also be activated directly via the display to move the e-bike comfortably.

The Shimano 8-speed hub gear offers a harmonious gear gradation and can be operated smoothly and effortlessly thanks to the twist grip shifter. This makes it easy to always select the right gear ratio. By the way: anticipatory shifting keeps the cadence constantly in the optimum range - which not only increases riding comfort, but can also have a positive effect on the battery range of your e-bike.

Thanks to the motor support, our e-bikes already offer a high level of riding comfort by nature. They are also equipped with a suspension fork and suspension seat post, which not only effectively compensate for bumps, but also offer other advantages. For example, they ensure improved road grip and more precise handling by absorbing shocks and vibrations. The result is a much more relaxed and safer riding experience that guarantees maximum comfort even on uneven roads.

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus tire in size 28x1.75 for e-bikes impresses with its outstanding puncture resistance and durability. Thanks to the innovative SmartGuard technology, it offers effective protection against punctures and significantly reduces the risk of punctures.

In addition, the tire has been designed to have low rolling resistance - a decisive advantage for e-bikes as it helps to reduce energy consumption. The specially developed tread pattern ensures excellent grip on different road surfaces, whether in wet or dry conditions, thus increasing riding stability and safety.

As e-bikes are significantly heavier than conventional bikes due to the battery and motor, a powerful braking system is essential. To ensure maximum safety at all times, we have opted for the first-class, hydraulically actuated Shimano T6000 disc brake. This brake works almost friction-free and enables precise adjustment of the braking force, even at higher speeds. Thanks to its robust design, the braking power remains constant, so you can rely on maximum safety in any riding situation.

You will receive a rental e-bike for your bike tour that fits your body size perfectly. In addition, the innovative stem system - a Speedlifter from by Schulz - allows the handlebars to be precisely adjusted in next to no time. You can quickly and easily adjust the height and position of the saddle using a quick-release fastener. The optimized adjustment options and the ergonomic design allow individual adaptation to your needs so that you are always in a comfortable riding position.
