Eflow is launching the PM2018 e-city/trekking bike line in 2, the three models of which, Amsterdam, Paris and Copenhagen, feature a Shimano Steps unit and a battery integrated in the down tube.
Shimano Steps, 11-speed Alfine Di2, integrated down tube battery: the PM2-Line by Eflow
With the Amsterdam, Paris, and Copenhagen PM 2 models , e-bike specialist Eflow is launching three new pedelecs featuring Shimano's Steps drive system, designed for city riding and touring. The three new e-bikes share common features: a striking new aluminum frame, a discreetly integrated Shimano battery in the downtube, and a centrally positioned Shimano Steps mid-drive motor. With a maximum output of 250 watts, it should provide adequate support for the rider. Eflow combines the proven Shimano e-motor with the company's electronic 11-speed Alpine Di2 drivetrain on all three bikes. The models, which expand Eflow's PM 2 line, will each be available with a classic men's, trapezoidal, or step-through frame in three sizes (step-through: two sizes).
Practical details of the PM2-E-bikes
For precise steering and ultimately greater riding safety, Eflow equips all three e-bikes with a 15 mm thru-axle on the front wheel. Furthermore, all PM 2 models feature elegant aluminum fenders, designed to suit the bikes' wide range of uses. Eflow also mounts a stylish little bag on the rear fender, perfect for carrying essential items such as a tire repair kit.
Copenhagen PM2: E-city/trekking bike with 29" tires and Shimano equipment
The Copenhagen PM 2 shown here rolls on large 29" Maxxis tires with a comfortable 2.1" width . A Shimano Steps mid-drive motor is paired with the user-friendly Shimano Di2 display and the aforementioned 11-speed Alpine Di2 drivetrain. A Suntour fork with 63 mm of travel is designed to smooth out rougher dirt roads and cobblestones. Shimano disc brakes provide the stopping power. The Copenhagen PM 2 is priced at €3.499; Eflow did not yet announce a delivery date for the new e-bike at Eurobike.
