Solid steel frame

Solid steel frame

Description

If you are looking to gear up with two- or three-wheeled functionality, you need a hand-crafted steel frame that has personality. In contrast to aluminium and carbon frames, our steel is a cool and high-tech product.

Steel vs. Aluminum frames

Steel is tough! Our frame promises incredible yield strength with a significant level of elasticity. It is one for the keeping.
The strength of our steel frame allows for a thinner mainframe. TIG welding technoology makes our frame just light – or even lighter – than those made of aluminium. Until recently it was necessary to
Our steel frame has a considerable load-bearing capacity, making stress fractures less common than in aluminium builds.
A steel frame, less rigid than aluminium, rides comfortably. This is especially notable during long trips over asphalt.

Fork

Fork

Our fork, especially designed for cargo bikes, is tough and stable. Through the long fork tubes which practically reach the handlebars, the head tube is barely burdened and thus permits more weight.

Loading area

Loading area

The usable loading area is always at least the size of a Euro pallet (1200x800 mm), the supporting surface of the base plate is 1000x755 mm. Various superstructures can be screwed onto this. The superstructures can be up to 1600 mm long. All our superstructures can hold one Euro pallet at least.

Motor

Motor

We equip our bikes with a high-capacity, 250 Watt eZee geared hub motor, specially developed for cargo bikes. Geared hub motors have the advantage of minimal wearing, high efficiency and long lifespan. In addition to the gas throttle that comes with the bike, our new system has a continuous 5-speed shifter with electric steering assistance that transfers your pedaling energy upon take-off for an easier and quicker start.

Enviolo Cargo

Enviolo Cargo

Description

The Enviolo N380x gear hub is as easy and smooth as adjusting the volume on your radio, in turn maximizing the rider's experience and performance. The combination of a slim switch handle and a display with an orange-colored bicyclist makes shifting intuitive and easier than ever. It is the perfect gear hub for those who desire a continuous, easier and more comfortable ride, and also for those looking for easier and less restricting solutions to conventional gear-shifting.

Advantages of the Nuvinci 380

Simpler assemblage and installation
Continuous shifting without kicks or delays, even during intense pedaling
A greater gear ratio range than many conventional shifting systems (up to 380%)
Frictionless, quick to respond, dependable und totally soundless
Practically maintenance-free
Ideal for E-Bikes: Lighter shifting leads to more active and engaged shifting for the rider; which in turn means more efficient energy use, a longer range and battery life, and less abrasion on motor and gear components.

Battery

The standard battery of the MUSKETIER is 23 Ah (835 Wh). Furthermore, the rider may choose to employ two batteries simultaneously, allowing for a maximum capacity of 46 Ah. As a general rule we install Samsung or Panasonic cells with a nominal voltage of 37V, or an end-of-charge voltage of 42V.

Brakes

Brakes

There are three different brake systems available for the Musketier.

Our standard: the Tektro Twin with 203mm brake discs. These can be easily locked via a small hand lever (hydraulic), so that if the bike stops, it can simply be braked.

Our Magura upgrade: the Magura BIG brakes with 210mm brake discs. The brake pads of the BIG are larger and grip more powerfully. In addition, the Magura brakes are equipped with the Fahrwerker parking brake.

Our Fahrwerker upgrade: the most powerful brake system incl. parking brake comes from Fahrwerker. The brake pads are also extremely durable.

Fenders

We offer the option to equip your Musketier with original front- and back SKS fenders. A framelock can also be installed on the front fender mounts.

LED lights

LED lights

Guiding you in the dark is the Busch & Müller Lumotec Lyt 6-42V DC LED headlight.

Back lights include two "Axa blueline 80" reflectors with heavy-duty LEDs.

Tires

Tires

The standard tyres of the Musketeer are high-quality Continental tyres for Musketier 24'' x 2.4, with puncture protection and reflector strips. The profile and the optics are clearly robust.. The Continental tyre has a printed reflector strip on the sidewall and thus complies with the StVZO. The tyre is not only very puncture-proof, but the stable carcass also makes it more stable and extremely durable.

Frame size

Frame size

Our bike is made to fit the needs of diverse riders. With our 50cm frame size and standard seat post, riders up to 195 cm tall (6 ft. 5 in.) can ride in comfort.

Width

With our wider, but much more durable wheels with Crosshub hubs, we have a total width of 110cm. This allows you to get through even narrow bollards, but the wheels require much less maintenance.

On request, we can also install the narrow Bitex hubs, so that our Musketeer is just under one metre at 99.7 cm.

Lacking its own definition of what comprises a bicycle, German law has orientated itself to the treaty of the Vienne Convention on Road Traffic, according to which 'cycle' means "any vehicle which has at least two wheels and is propelled solely by the muscular energy of the persons on that vehicle, in particular by means of pedals or hand-cranks." This definition includes single- and multiple-lane cargo bikes. In any case, there are two relevant legal restrictions:

Maximum size: Width, one meter for single-lane / two meters for multiple-lane bicycles; Height 2,50m (~8 ft. 2 in.); and Length 4m (~13 ft.) is permissible (see § 63 and § 32 StVZO).
