Familiar drive - own battery

"The biggest challenge in developing the E2 was to pack as much battery power as possible into the bike without making it bulky," says Magnus Almgren, designer at Thömus. Although the new bike still has a Shimano Steps drive, the battery is a specially developed high-performance battery. It should make previously unattainable ranges possible with a single battery charge.

Its cells are smaller than others but at the same time more powerful. The E2's battery offers 726 watt hours and also enables a slimmer down tube design.
But Thömus also goes one step further when it comes to charging. The battery can be charged both on the bike and externally via the magnetic Rosenberg RoPD connector system.
This system enables the fastest battery charging times and comprehensive data transport thanks to the Power Data Connector. The system also recognizes the condition of the battery and charges it as gently as possible. The magnetic connector from Rosenberg is already familiar in a similar form from the charging cables of the Apple MacBook.

Lightweight, versatile and sensitive

Thömus has also been able to take another step forward in terms of weight. At 18.5 kilograms, the Lightrider is very light in its lightest configuration. The carbon frame offers a wide range of set-up options and can be adapted to all user groups and areas of use. Also thanks to the E2 customizing principle, which allows a high degree of variability.

The wide range of applications also lies in the modification of the geometry using a flip chip and its modular chassis design. The latter gives the Lightrider E2 a suspension travel range of 140 to 170 millimetres, optionally equipped with Fox or DT Swiss systems.
The suspension is finely tuned so that the Lighrider E2 offers impressive traction uphill and maximum smoothness and directional stability downhill.

The 29-inch wheels, which are now increasingly finding their way onto e-mountainbikes, also contribute to traction and rollover behavior. The E2 frame offers space for tire widths up to 2.6 inches.

Low entry-level price

Thömus' latest e-bike is available as the Lightrider E2 and Lightrider E2 Pro. The simple E2 version comes with Shimano's Steps E6100 drive and a smaller 500 watt-hour battery. It is available from CHF 3,990.00, which is a very low entry-level price. The Pro version does not have to be expensive either and is available from CHF 5,490.00. The price difference lies in the higher-quality carbon frame and bearings, more powerful drive and battery as well as better warranty services.

The Lightrider E2 is available in five colour variants and is easy to customize thanks to countless configuration options.
