The Four Categories of E-Bikes
The e-bike range of I:SY can be divided into four main segments.
Standard Compact E-Bikes
These are the standard models that are perfect for city rides and short to medium distances. They are compact, lightweight, and easy to handle, making them ideal for commuting or running errands in the city.
XXL Versions
These models are designed for taller riders, with a higher load capacity and more space for the rider. They offer the same robust construction and quality as the standard models but are adapted to accommodate larger individuals.
Cargo Versions
These are the utility models, designed for transporting cargo. They are perfect for those who need an alternative to the car for transporting goods or even children. With a larger load capacity and robust construction, these models are built to handle heavier weights.
Speed Pedelec Versions
These models are for those who want to cover longer distances at higher speeds. They are equipped with more powerful motors and are designed for speed and efficiency. The speed pedelec can reach 45 km/h, whereas a regular electric bike can only reach 25 km/h. However, different legislation applies to speed pedelecs.
