Retro and vintage e-bike trekking bike
Retro bikes are not a technically defined bike category. The bikes are modeled on the look of the popular Dutch bikes. Due to their prevalence in big cities, especially among students, these bikes have been brought back into people's consciousness. The ingenious thing about them is that the old look is combined with the latest technology, resulting in a contemporary and functional bike that knows how to impress with style. Traditionally, the bikes are available as low-entry models and have 28-inch tires.
Retro with digital technology
As with trekking bikes, it makes a lot of sense to equip these bikes with a motor. They are particularly at home in the city and on tours. In both cases, the electric reserve is a great advantage. Don't be deceived by the 70s look, because these bikes come with ultra-modern drive and battery technology that is in no way inferior to that of regular models. Even though the manufacturers' focus is on a look that is as chic as possible, the technical aspects have not been neglected.
Old shell, new core
There is a lot to choose from in terms of features. Sporty riders can choose from models with derailleur gears, hydraulic disc brakes and the new Bosch Purion display. Those who prefer to whizz through the city in a more casual and authentic style can opt for models with classic rim brakes and hub gears. The visually appealing 28-inch tires have a slightly shallower tread than on trekking or mountain bikes, and with their light sidewalls they look wonderfully retro. If you prefer a more muted look, you can of course also purchase dark tires. The components are of the highest quality, so – unlike a restored Dutch bicycle – no part rattles unpleasantly or rubs.
Attention to detail
Manufacturers pay attention to every detail. High-quality leather handlebars and color-graded leather seats blend just as harmoniously into the overall picture as the many chrome details and the beautifully curved aluminum frame. Many models are available ex works with a suspension seat post, so comfort is not neglected. In terms of color, anything is possible, from a rich red to a pastel green. Here, too, the manufacturers offer all the options and the right bike in every case.
Leisure, nature, work
These bikes can be used in a variety of ways. Modern technology ensures that they can be used in everyday life without worry and with a long service life. The current batteries have capacities that are sufficient for any tour. Even the daily commute or a shopping trip through town can be handled at any time. Equipped with saddlebags, medium loads can also be transported. These are the perfect bikes for tech enthusiasts who don't want to sacrifice a chic appearance in their everyday lives.
