/ The design
The PowerDrive – perfection in design and functionality
The PowerDrive is available in two frame variants: with a low entry for comfortable mounting and dismounting and with a high top tube for maximum rigidity. Three different frame sizes ensure that everyone can find the right S-Pedelec.
The internal cable routing and the battery seamlessly integrated into the down tube give the PowerDrive a classic, sleek design. The frame is made of high-quality aluminum, and the polished weld seams underline the clear look and first-class craftsmanship.
The e-bike also offers sufficient ground clearance for maximum safety, even in fast corners. Despite the powerful, removable 1440 Wh battery, the PowerDrive weighs only 33 kg including battery.
Available in matte black and gray, the PowerDrive combines design, function and durability in an outstanding e-bike.
