A quality frame with semi-integrated battery is paired to a smooth Shimano drive unit to deliver a city e-bike that gives you all the function you need without the high price tag.
You don't need to spend a fortune to get a reliable city e-bike, something our eSPRESSO 300 EQ easily proves. With a strong and smooth Shimano E5000 drive unit paired to a high-quality aluminium frame with semi-integrated 504 Wh battery, it delivers reliable performance whether you're on the way to work, returning from the shops or just checking out new parts of town. Thanks to equipment such as mudguards, lights, kickstand, lock and rack as standard, plus quality brakes, drivetrain and suspension, it's ready to go from the moment you leave the shop.
The eSPRESSO range is the perfect partner for urban riding, offering comfort and practicality. Standard-fit mudguards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand mean you’re ready to go from the moment you leave the shop. Choose between frames with internally mounted batteries of either 750 Wh, 630 Wh or 504 Wh capacity or a more economical, 504 Wh semi-integrated design. All use a range of powerful Shimano STEPS drive units, with the option of the sporty EP8 motor on some models. Low step-through frame options on all models help ease mounting and dismounting. Suspension forks offer improved control, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes give reliable and controllable stopping power in all weather conditions. The 700c wheels have wide 50 mm tyres for extra grip and comfort, plus reflective sidewalls strips improve rider safety in low light. Internally routed cables give a sleek look, while a 150 kg maximum system weight means plenty of carrying capacity.
