Cheating? Not when you're having this much fun. The eSCULTURA 400 brings all the benefits of a pedal-assist motor to a serious road bike, offering up a way to keep up with the pack on the hills without a heavy, draggy feel when you're pedalling above the assistance limit. A 250 Wh battery sits inside the downtube, while the new X30 low-drag hub-drive motor from MAHLE works perfectly with Shimano's benchmark 105 groupset and hydraulic disc brakes to deliver a ride that's as sporty as a regular bike.
As even dedicated road riders realise the advantages a little ‘helping hand’ can offer, our eRoad range is spearheaded by this assisted version of our 'classic' SCULTURA. The eSCULTURA is for all the road riders out there who like an active riding style, but are looking for the extra boost to catch up with the bunch and to make the climbs that little bit easier. The latest X30 MAHLE rear hub motor system gives our eSCULTURA an almost 'non-e-bike' silhouette while delivering natural and almost drag-free pedalling support. You can even use an externally mounted 208 Wh MAHLE Range Extender to boost range. While the eSCULTURA is a dedicated road bike, its comfortable yet sporty geometry and its ample tyre clearance give it real versatility and day-to-day usability.
