Joining together urban practicality with the willingness to explore is no easy feat, but the eBIG.TOUR 475 EQ does just that, with the new Shimano EP6 drive unit giving you smooth yet powerful assistance whenever you need it. Large volume tyres, a suspension fork and mountain bike inspired geometry deliver capable and confident handling whenever you want an adventure, but the low-step-through frame design with integrated 750 Wh battery and generous standard fit equipment including mudguards and lighting have your everyday needs covered, so there's no need to compromise.
Are practicality and excitement mutually exclusive? We don't think so - and neither does the eBIG.TOUR. It's a reliable day-to-day companion for riding to work that's equally happy taking you on big adventures off the beaten track, thanks to a winning combination of mountain bike inspired geometry with low step-through frame practicality. A powerful and smooth Shimano pedal-assist motor is integrated cleanly into the aluminium frame, while a suspension fork and high-volume tyres provide comfort and safety. Add in standard fit mudguards, racks, lighting, wheel lock and a kickstand plus long-lasting 630 or 750 Wh batteries and you'll realise you've got the best of all worlds.
Highlights:
- Shimano Steps EP6 85Nm motor
- 750Wh internal battery
- Shimano CUES 10 speed
- Shimano Hydraulic disc brakes
- Equipped with mudguards, rack and lights
