German-Made Greygeist E-Bike Looks More Like a Regular Bike

Most of the time it is easy to differentiate an e-bike from a classic pedal bike thanks to a bulky battery pack or motor located on a down tube or on the rear wheel. Now that will all change thanks to German company Freygeist and its belief that there should be no difference between the aesthetics of the two bicycle styles.

Freygeist’s new Classic pedal electric bike has changed the game with a design that integrates all of the components needed for an e-bike in a way that makes it look just like a normal bike while only having a curb weight of 26.5 pounds. This lightweight frame makes it easier to pedal the Classic when the battery runs out, though it has an impressive range of up to 15 miles per charge.

While e-bikes have had their batteries fit into down tubes before, Freygeist has done so in a cleaner fashion than what has become the norm. The Classic’s 33-volt, 337-Wh Panasonic lithium-ion battery is fully contained in the down tube that doesn’t measure any larger than on a regular bike. This lithium-ion battery powers a hidden motor that has 250 watts of continuous power and a 500W maximum.

The only true indication of the Freygeist Classic being an e-bike is the necessary hardware and wiring located near the lower down tube and motor area.

Freygeist sells the Classic for $4,330 and claims it takes only 21 days for delivery.
