ELECHIC Short John Unisex, Logo Bike, Mouse Grey

ELECHIC Short John Unisex, Logo Bike, Creme

This ELECHIC Short John electric bike has a Velorbis eDrive electric system that makes the bike a reliable and robust electric bike. Velorbis eDrive500 is ideal for your trips from 40-75 km distance (see battery range chart below). The complete system weighs only 4.9 kg. The centre-mounted gearless 250w motor in brushed steel is mounted under the crankcase. Due to its construction and location on the bike, the engine provides a unique natural riding pleasure and is entirely silent. With a power of 250 watts and a maximum torque of 50 Nm, it supports your pedal capability up to a speed of 25 km / h (legally allowed maximum value for EU countries). Higher speeds can be achieved by using pure muscle power via your rye bread motor. Since the engine does not have a gearbox, there is no noticeable pedal resistance when the battery is off, so you can still use your bike like a regular bike.
The designer battery in the exclusive leather bag is 36V, has a 500 Wh or 14,6AH capacity, and works based on modern lithium-ion technology. The battery can be charged while it is on the bicycle. The battery can be locked with a wire lock, but it can be quickly removed from the bike and recharged within 3.5 hours with the included 3 AH charger.

The Joy of Cycling

If you are spending a lot of time on your bike, then comfort, of course, is key!

  • The 100% upright riding position means no stress on the lower back or shoulders – it’s as comfortable as sitting in a chair!
  • The powerful Velorbis mid-motor gives you extra speed or a bit of help when going uphill or against the wind.
  • A sprung genuine leather Velorbis saddle in two colours will gradually mould itself to your shape, giving you the perfect seat. Alternatively, a gel saddle in black or brown has a natural softness to provide a great ride.
  • Top quality Schwalbe tyres are bouncy 55 mm wide, giving extra suspension over bumps and lumps in the road. They come in a choice of cream or black.
  • The lightweight, lugged steel frame, fork, mudguards, chain guards and wheel rims can be coloured to your specification from over 200 shades.
  • Unlike most traditional bikes, we make our frames from strong but lightweight steel, meaning that the bike weighs only 18 kg (without extras), making it much easier to manoeuvre.

Superb Functionality

It might be hip and cool, but it has to work well!  Here are some of our best features:

  • Shimano Nexus gears are internal and, therefore, low maintenance as protected from the elements and are available in 3, and 7-speed with freewheel and handlebar brakes.
  • Depending on what you need to carry, luggage options include a steel rear carrier with a bag hook, an exclusive front wooden tray, a wooden crate (shallow or deep), or different baskets so everything can be easily carried.
  • A chain cover and leather mud flaps mean you arrive at your destination free from splashes, oil or dirt from the road.
  • The tyres use anti-puncture technology.
  • High-quality components mean a long and low maintenance life for your bike.

Safety First!

Urban cycling can have its issues, so we do our best to put your mind at ease:

  • The upright seating position gives you a great view of your surroundings and the other traffic on the road.
  • The bike has a drive-powered light system with LED retro front and rear lamps.
  • A 100 db bell is included.
  • The bike comes with a Velorbis integrated frame lock with a key

Added Extras
