The first bike will not be sold as an e-bike. We are also working on an e-version. However, it is still uncertain when this will come on the market.The igus bike is easier to own than any other bike.
Owners can leave the single-speed bike outdoors in all weather and clean it in seconds with a garden hose. “As all components are made of plastic, no part of the bike rusts, even the gears – bicycle gears made of plastic were unthinkable for a long time.
