Kilow Gravel Electric Bicycle with a Carbon fiber frame unveiled

French e-mobility firm Kilow has entered the electric bicycle turf with the launch of the Kilow Gravel bike. The Kilow Gravel comes with a carbon fiber frame and uses a Bikedrive Air motor. Kilow has built a niche for itself in the electric vehicle market with its lightweight EVs. The Kilow Gravel electric bicycle is on display at the 2023 Roc d’Azur.

Features

The Kilow Gravel draws inspiration from the minimalist, aesthetically appealing, and lightweight design of Kilow electric cars. The rugged Kilow Gravel is designed as a gravel bike. It offers excellent maneuverability on the go allowing you to ride on difficult terrain easily. The new Kilow electric bicycle is as versatile as it can be. The Gravel is an e-mobility solution for use outside the city and also within urban settings. Marketing Director at Kilow, Arthur Allamand says that the Gravel offers an alternative to the almost non-existent public transport in the city outskirts. This is the reason for the choice of a gravel e-bike as Kilow’s debut entry into the space.

The Bikedrive Air motor on the Kilow Gravel is housed within its carbon fiber frame. While the Bikedrive Air is short on torque and power, it offers smoothness and a natural pedal feel. It has a maximum torque of 40Nm and a 250W continuous power output. There are three pedal assistance modes in the Gravel and this can be alternated via the toptube console. The downtube of the Gravel frame houses the battery which delivers up to 50km of assistance range on a full charge. The bike has a 12-speed Sram Force AXS system with support for electronic shifting and Hutchinson Touareg tires.

Pricing & Availability

The Kilow Gravel electric bicycle costs up to $10,000 or €9,490. It is available for pre-order but expected delivery times have not been stated. There are no global availability details for the Kilow Gravel at this time. Thus its sales are limited to the European Union for now.
