E-Mountainbike highlights for 2018 seen at EUROBIKE Media Days

Corratec E-Power RS 150 – with integrated Bosch PowerTube

Corratec E RS 150 First Look 1 von 19 1140x760 — Shown here is the Corratec E-Power RS 150, which will hit retailers from November for € 4,699.

Hot off the press, Bosch recently dropped their new PowerTube 500, an integrated battery for their well-known Bosch Performance CX motor. Corratec have now stepped up as one of the first brands to adopt this integrated battery into a full-suspension E-MTB. What stood out for us at EUROBIKE Media Days was how they’ve put the battery cover directly over the Powerpack and even gone so far as to patent it. The Upper Bavarian company have also dubbed their downtube design as Shadow Edge, which has 3 mm thick tubing and an angular design to render it particularly stiff and with high torsional strength. The new Corratec E-Power RS 150 has 150 mm of travel (pretty obvious, right), and it’s compatible with both 27.5+ and 29″ tires. The bike is out in three build specs, but the top of the line model is the only one that’ll be released as an S-Pedelec – a shame if you ask us!
