The Bike+ series is equipped with a particularly well-thought-out all-in-one rear hub motor since it incorporates both the 250 W electric unit and its associated battery. Also note that the electric bike has an automatic recharging system for this battery, thanks to a system that recovers thekinetic energy during braking or downhill phases (Kers technology). Fact, battery does not need to be recharged, except in Turbo mode where the speed maximum easily exceeds 25 km/h and where its autonomy is of the order of 50 km.
The titanium version, and therefore light, of the Vello Bike+ is available from 4,490 euros, compared to 3,290 euros for the classic version.
