E-Performance: A bike ride with the whole family? Orbea fulfills exactly this dream of many fathers and mothers with the Orbea eMX24. A fully-fledged e-bike for children aged 6-10! With a specified weight of 15,5 kg, it is one of the lightest models in its class on the market and also impresses with its almost invisible technology.
“Bike tours with the parents can be a real challenge for the kids. Not only because they are not physically and physically ready, but also because the terrain can sometimes overwhelm them,” explains Jon Gantxegi, who is responsible for e-bikes at Orbea.
“An e-bike tailored to the child can solve these problems and pave the way for beautiful family tours. It is also an excellent opportunity to get children excited about cycling, whether as a piece of sports equipment or as a step towards an active and healthy lifestyle,” says Gantxegi.
Orbea eMX24: Completely tailored for children
A targeted drive concept is what Orbea is striving for on the Gain electric road bike and that is exactly what the Orbea eMX24 is based on with efficient support and a very low weight.
The children's e-mountain bike supports the Basques with perfectly coordinated and not excessive power. Accordingly, the little ones are not overwhelmed and yet not all efforts are taken away. “The most important thing is that the children enjoy cycling. The engine provides the necessary power for precisely this,” says Jon Gantxegi.
Orbea eMX24: Brakes and control unit also revised
Weight is also a very important factor for children. “It is not easy for small children to control a heavy bike. That's why we built the eMX24 to be as light as possible,” explains Gantxegi.
But not only weight and geometry are slightly smaller with the Orbea eMX24. The operation of the mechanics and electronics is also appropriately coordinated. This makes it easier for small hands to grip the brake handles. And the intuitive iWoc TRIO control unit makes it easy to fully control the support levels and the battery charge level.
The rear motor offers a particularly even support and impresses even when it is switched off or the battery charge level is running out. Because compared to conventional mid-engines, the offspring does not have to compete against the resistance of the engine.
