Launched in spring 2016, this electrically powered bicycle draws the attention of discerning cyclists.

Further exceptionalities
Focused on a maximum of functionality, the rear rack can be described as minimalistic without any superfluous knick-knacks. Despite its inconspicuous nature, it is ready for big tasks. The stylishly-shaped carrier, which is welded to the frame, is ready for a pannier on each side. Visually comparatively unobtrusive, the 250-watt motor is located in the rear wheel. During the acceleration phase, a maximum of 500 watts can be delivered. It assists the cyclist with a maximum torque of 40 Nm. The range is stated with 80 kilometers. According to Coboc’s specifications, the electric motor is produced by Bafang, a Chinese manufacturer of e-mobility components.
Even the rear light is integrated into the seat tube. Three dotted lines, each made of four LEDs, are shining in clear red. They can be powered up during the ride with a single button press under the Coboc label on the upper part of the bicycle frame. Furthermore, the charge level of the battery is indicated by five blue LED lights on the top of the frame. The gross weight of the SEVEN Vesterbro seems to be the final touch. It only amounts to a mere 15.6 kg. Please make yourself familiar with the gross weights of nowadays electric bikes. You will realize, the SEVEN Vesterbro can be stated as lightweight.
Finally, a small fly in the ointment: SEVEN Vesterbro is not available for little money. But likely it is good value for money owing to the fact that it is developed and manufactured with a high production depth ‘Made in Germany’.

By the way, all pedelecs of Cobos’s product lines have a frame-integrated battery.
