Ellio, the well-known Belgian manufacturer of speed pedelecs, is advancing to the next phase of innovation with the launch of the Ellio Neo. Building on the success of previous models such as the Ellio Max and Ellio Original, the Neo presents a refined approach focusing on minimalism and urban mobility, without sacrificing the power and durability for which the brand is renowned.
This model marks an important milestone in Ellioโs development, aiming at improvement and refinement, while maintaining the core values of the brand.
Minimalist Design, Maximum Performance
The Ellio Neo is designed for urban commuters seeking simplicity. Previous Ellio models featured a cockpit with multiple buttons, but the Neo now boasts a much simpler interface. Its sleek, modern design reflects a “less is more” philosophy, while underneath the streamlined exterior lies a competent machine. This Neo model demonstrates how Ellio is evolving by refining and perfecting its existing designs.
With a price of โฌ5,495, the bike comes equipped with an 800Wh battery, which can be upgraded to 1150Wh for those needing a longer range. In this price range, Ellio continues to aim for the “best price-to-quality” ratio, offering luxury, performance, and comfort for commuting that is hard to find elsewhereโ(
The bike easily reaches a top speed of 45 km/h, making it perfect for fast-paced urban commuting. Despite its compact size, the Neo is packed with features that facilitate daily commuting.
Smaller Battery, Improved Brakes
One of the major changes in the new Ellio Neo is the decision to make the battery smallerโan aspect that I see as a significant advantage. While many brands focus on larger batteries, the Ellio Neo shows that this isn’t always necessary. For shorter commutes or city riding, the standard 800Wh battery (upgradable to 1150Wh) offers more than enough range. By opting for a smaller battery, the overall weight of the bike is reduced, addressing one of the critiques of earlier models, which were considered heavy. This simplification makes the Ellio Neo lighter, more maneuverable, and ideal for city ridesโ(
Additionally, the bike benefits from a minimalist design, particularly evident in the handlebars and cockpit area, which enhances ease of use and improves the riding experience. Along with these changes, Ellio has upgraded the brakes to Tektro hydraulic disc brakesโa trusted and respected brand in the cycling industry. This improvement reflects Ellioโs commitment to listening to user feedback, particularly regarding braking performance. The result is a bike that feels lighter and more responsive while offering better control and safetyโ(
Ellio Dual-Motor Technology
What further sets the Neo apart is Ellio’s signature dual-motor system, delivering a total of 1,500W of power. The front and mid-drive motors work together, ensuring excellent stability and traction under various road conditions. This setup offers smooth, efficient acceleration, allowing the bike to feel stable even at high speedsโ(
Moreover, Ellioโs proprietary software manages automatic gear shifting, so the rider can focus entirely on the road.
Attracting New Markets
The Ellio Neo is part of Ellio’s strategy to attract a broader range of cyclists, especially those looking for a stylish but functional solution for urban commuting. While previous models like the Ellio Max are aimed at long-distance riders, the Neo is perfect for people seeking a bike that combines minimalism with top-tier performance. As Ellio moves forward, the Neo is set to appeal to both existing fans and new riders alikeโ
