Description

On the occasion of the “Japan in Motion” exhibition during Paris Design Week this September,

the limited-edition e-bike can be pre-ordered before the start of the exhibition on the 4th of September.

The large version can be seen, touched and tested in Antwerp by booking your test-ride here.

Medium and small can be tested during our exhibition in Paris by registering here.

13,4 kg of feather-weight e-bike design.

Lightweight for its class, the Jitensha offers a smooth, agile, and responsive ride, even without electric assistance.

It’s easy to transport and park anywhere. And it will look splendid in any interior or simply outdoors.

An extra-ordinary engine.

The Jitensha assist combines motor and battery in an all-in-one system integrated into the rear wheel.

This innovative design guarantees ultra-light weight, optimal performance & a unique feel in the world of e-bikes.

195wh 40Nm

Great power, “barely there”- Japanese design. Made in Europe.

The below picture shows about the most you’ll ever see of your engine and battery.

25-45km of range

Its all-in-one electric assistance system offers one of the best power, battery size and range ratios on the market.

Urban and expandable autonomy

Ride longer with energy recovery

when descending, coasting or backpedaling.

Simplicity

Ride with or without the app

The rear motor of your Jitensha activates in just 3 pedal strokes, providing you with immediate and smooth assistance.

The app simply gives you more control: customize No Assist, Eco, Turbo, and Custom modes to tailor your experience to every ride.

80% re-charge in just 2 hours

You can recharge up to 80% of your battery in just 2 hours, and 100% in 3 hours.

 

Construction Philosophy

 Our frame and fork are meticulously engineered using double-butted 4130 Chromoly steel tubing.

This process strategically varies wall thickness along the length of each tube—thicker at the high-stress joints for maximum strength and durability,

and thinner along the midsections to significantly reduce weight without compromising integrity.

Inspired by the typical Japanese bikes you can find everywhere in Tokyo.

Key frame & fork benefits

Optimized Performance Triad: Achieves the ideal balance of strength, low weight, and vertical compliance.

Superior Vibration Damping: The natural flex properties of Chromoly steel absorb high-frequency road vibrations,

reducing rider fatigue and providing a smoother, more comfortable ride than aluminum or carbon frames.

Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio

 4130 Chromoly offers approximately twice the yield strength of traditional high-tensile steel, allowing for a dramatically lighter and more responsive frame

that retains legendary steel durability and longevity.

Ride Quality

 Delivers a renowned, lively, and resilient feel—often described as the “perfect blend of comfort and efficiency.”

Key Terminology Explained:

4130 Chromoly Steel: A chromium-molybdenum alloy steel known for its high strength,

excellent weldability, and good ductility.

Double-Butted: A tube manufacturing process where the tube has two different wall thicknesses:

thicker ends for strength at the joints and a thinner center to save weight.

This is the mark of a high-quality frame but still resulting in an ultra light e-bike.

Motor: Features the fully integrated Zehus All-in-One motor system housed within the rear hub.

It delivers a powerful 40 Nm of torque for seamless assistance.

Battery & Range: Powered by a fully integrated 30V, 193Wh Li-ion battery.

It provides a range of up to 45 km in Eco mode and up to 25 km in Turbo mode.

The battery features a KERS braking energy recovery system

to extend your ride and charges in just 3 hours (100%) with the included, portable charger.

Smart Connectivity: Controlled via a dedicated Android & iOS app using Bluetooth 5.1.

The system receives regular over-the-air software updates and allows for remote diagnostics.

Ride Modes: Offers three modes of assistance: Eco, Custom, and Turbo.

A unique feature is the ability to ride perfectly with the motor completely off with zero drag, functioning like a standard bicycle.

Total Weight: Achieves a remarkable total weight of just 13.4 kg (including battery and motor),

thanks to the highly integrated and lightweight system design.

Chainring: Features a classic 48-tooth crankset. Custom chainring sizes are available upon request to suit your riding style.

Brakes: Equipped with high-performance  rim brakes,

prized for their powerful stopping power, lightweight design, and exceptional ease of maintenance.

Tires: Fitted with fast-rolling Panaracer RiBMO 700x28C tires.

This premium setup features an ultra-resistant 800D cord, a long-wearing “Mile Cruncher” compound,

and a Puncture-ProtiteShield for a ride that is light, swift, and remarkably durable.

Saddle & Tape: Includes a durable jitensha microfiber saddle and matching handlebar tape,

providing all-weather grip and lasting comfort. Inspired by Japanese design bikes.

Frame Material: 4130 Chromoly Steel, Double-Butted
