Here, too, only a version for the iOS operating system has been announced for the time being. View of the rear camera on the Cyklær App App with crucial limitation With the Schwalbe G-One, classic gravel tyres complete the overall picture of the drive. On the other hand, the high-quality G 1800 wheels from DT Swiss and the Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes from Sram should meet with unclouded approval. Eleven teeth on the smallest sprocket and especially 36 teeth on the largest sprocket might be a little too limited for off-road excursions. Perhaps the cassette could have been chosen a little wider in terms of range. The single-speed drivetrain and the twelve-sprocket cassette also correspond to common gravel configurations. In keeping with the high-end claim, all Cyklær models are equipped with a Force AXS electronic shifting system from Sram. The battery capacity remains unchanged at 252 watt hours. It turns out a little lighter and its motor offers some extra torque. With the Ride 50 Trail, one of the revisions of the drive system presented in the summer is installed. They underline that the combination of lightness and high strength also works for this type of bike.Īs already mentioned, the ebike system comes from Fazua. Among gravel bikes, there have been quite a few with carbon frames for a while now. Given Storck’s many years of experience with this material, this choice is not really surprising. The top tube, which slopes down in front of the seat tube and thus merges very early with the seat stays, nevertheless provides a certain independent look.Ĭyklær relies on carbon for the material. In terms of design, an even more idiosyncratic approach might have been conceivable. Agile, robust, comfortable on a variety of surfaces. With the E-Gravel as the first move, an ebike can be seen that definitely fits the general orientation of the two initiators Porsche and Storck. Greyp contributed knowledge and hardware for smart functions such as anti-theft protection, remote access to the ebikes and the equipment with two cameras installed on the bikes. Fazua dealt with the integration of the e-drive. the integration into apps and the data exchange with other systems.įor the implementation of the bikes shown in Friedrichshafen, the brand owners brought two additional specialists on board. However, the car manufacturer is primarily focusing on the development of the digital environment of the ebikes, i.e. Porsche, or more precisely Porsche Digital, put the finishing touches on the design. Managing director Markus Storck himself is largely responsible for the design of the first Cyklær models. It represents speed, high quality and, yes, corresponding prices, especially in the road bike sector.
Many of you are probably familiar with the company from Idstein. Storck will be responsible for the bicycle competence in the first place. Before we do, we’d like to give you some information about the division of “responsibilities” at Cyklær.
We’ll take a look at the bikes in a moment. Car and bicycle manufacturers join forces
The two had the first three implementations of this project in their luggage: the Cyklær E-Gravel, the Cyklær E-Gravel with Streetwear and the Cyklær E-Urban. Porsche and Storck used the trade show as a proper stage to announce their future joint tinkering with sporty ebikes under the independent name Cyklær. It was indeed one of the most noticed appearances at Eurobike 2021. And the result of this cooperation has certainly earned its media attention. With Porsche, Storck, Fazua and Greyp, four parties have come together under the new Cyklær brand and contributed their share to three new ebikes. How many partners actually spoil the development of an ebike? Apparently four are not enough. Too many cooks spoil the broth, they say.
