Electric bicycles (e-bikes) are increasingly reshaping urban mobility, especially in Europe, where they are essential daily transportation tools. German brand Schindelhauer’s new e-bikes, Heinrich and Hannah, exemplify this shift towards combining style and functionality.

Both bikes operate silently and are low-maintenance

E-bikes have evolved beyond being mere recreational gadgets. They are now a vital part of the urban landscape, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional transportation. Schindelhauer’s latest offerings maintain the brand’s minimalist aesthetic while incorporating significant power, courtesy of the Bosch Performance Line CX motor. This motor, typically seen in high-end electric mountain bikes, delivers a punch with 85 Nm of power and a nominal output of 250 watts, adhering to European e-bike regulations.

The Heinrich and Hannah models cater to the contemporary European commuter. Both bikes feature a Gates CDX drive belt, known for its silent operation and low maintenance. Schindelhauer’s focus on technology is evident in features like the Bosch eBike Flow app, which allows riders to manage ride modes, create personalized profiles, and plan routes. The built-in GPS and ConnectModule offer real-time bike tracking, a boon for urban cyclists.

In design, Schindelhauer stays true to its classic style. The Heinrich boasts a sporty frame and sleek lines, ideal for a city gentleman’s cruiser. The Hannah, with its sloping lines and step-through design, offers elegance and practicality. Both models come with the option of saddlebags, enhancing their utility. Thick tires on both bikes ensure a comfortable ride on city streets, though they are less suited for rougher terrains.

The bikes also feature the innovative Automatiq Gear Hub from Enviolo, allowing smooth and automatic gear changes, and the optional Racktime luggage rack for added versatility.

In terms of pricing, Schindelhauer’s e-bikes are available in single-speed and Enviolo Automatiq versions, with the latter being slightly more expensive. The Heinrich and Hannah represent more than just e-bikes; they symbolize a movement towards sustainable, efficient, and stylish urban travel, catering to the needs of the modern city dweller.
