Orbea Carpe Urban E-bike

With the price of petrol and diesel rising drastically these days, now might be the time to think about an e-bike? A way to save money and to keep fit, beat the traffic and be more sustainable. 

Orbea has a new lightweight, urban electric bike called the Carpe. This performance-oriented bike delivers assistance when you need it for more natural riding experience. This bike is perfect for cities and towns - it's agile and easy to control and cycle. The low step-through design makes it easy to get on and off. You won't get that bumpy feeling either as you cycle thanks to the frame design which absorbs road vibrations. Integrated wrap around lighting ensures you are visible day and night. 

Lightweight yet tough

Carpe's aluminium frame, with optimised tube thickness is lightweight and the integrated battery system eliminates extras for a simpler structure. The battery is also fully protected inside the frame against bumps and theft. There's a hidden compartment that's compatible with Bluetooth trackers for extra peace of mind when you've parked the bike. Carpe supports ABUS frame lock solutions as standard or optional depending on the model. 

Powerful

Carpe comes with the Shimano EP5 motor, specifically configured for urban use. Its 85 Nm of torque support quick starts and steep climbs regardless of load, while efficient power management allows the use of a more compact battery without compromising range. The result is assistance that feels natural, quiet and minimally intrusive, with low friction even when pedalling above the assistance limit. It offers more than sufficient range thanks to its integrated 420 Wh battery. This capacity is ideal for everyday city use and can be extended with an optional 252 Wh Range Extender.

Adjustable

You can personalise your Carpe as you need to. With multiple mounting points you can add panniers, bags and baby seats to your bike as required. Talk to us at The Sports Room about using MyO to design your perfect Orbea bike. We can also help with child seats for your bike.

Space Saving

If you're tight on space at home or when parking your bike, some nice features include the ability to turn the handlebar 90 degrees and the pedals can fold, reducing the overall width. 

The Orbea Carpe is a versatile e-bike - use it for carrying your shopping, cycling with a child, going to and from work and sports or just enjoying cycling at the weekend. Why not call in and talk to us at The Sports Room about Carpe and take one for a test...
