It folds in around 10 seconds, stores easily at home or in the office, and makes urban travel feel refreshingly simple. Sometimes the smartest bike is not the one with the longest specification sheet. It is the one you actually want to ride every day.

Fold. Ride. Repeat.
The ESS20 folds in around 10 seconds, making it ideal for commuters, flat dwellers and anyone short on storage space. Pop it in a car boot, tuck it under a desk or store it neatly at home without playing a game of bicycle Tetris. It is amazing how much easier cycling becomes when your bike does not require its own postcode.
First E-Bike Friendly
Designed specifically for first-time electric bike riders, the ESS20 focuses on simplicity and confidence rather than unnecessary complexity. The controls are intuitive, the riding position is comfortable and the assistance feels natural from the very first ride. No engineering degree required.
Commute Without Drama
Powered by a 40Nm rear hub motor and responsive pedal assistance system, the ESS20 helps flatten hills, shorten journeys and remove much of the effort from everyday riding. Traffic jams become somebody else’s problem while you quietly glide past them wondering why they look so stressed.
Range For Real Life
The removable 378Wh battery provides up to 70km of range depending on terrain and riding conditions. Charge it at home, in the office or wherever suits your routine. Most daily commutes will run out of meetings before the bike runs out of battery.
Built For Everyday Abuse
Shimano Tourney 7-speed gearing, CST tyres and TEKTRO mechanical brakes were selected because they are proven, reliable and easy to maintain. No unnecessary complications, no expensive surprises. Just dependable components that get on with the job.
Practical By Design
The battery is cleverly integrated into the seatpost, keeping the bike clean and stylish while remaining fully removable for charging. A locking seat clamp adds security and peace of mind when parked. Clever design should make life easier, not give you another instruction manual to read.
