Whether you need to get to work in the morning or to a restaurant in the evening: Active Line brings the joy back to urban mobility – even in rush hour. Smooth, lightweight and quiet, it is the ideal way to get around the city. Its controlled acceleration with barely perceptible pedal resistance at over 25 km/h or in Off mode make every ride an experience as well as an elegant statement, the design received the Red Dot Award. The drive unit integrates perfectly into the bike frame, making handling and life just that little bit easier, thanks to the lightweight nature.
