NICOLAI G1 E14 EBOXX Explorer – the most extreme commuter on Earth

The NICOLAI G1 E14 EBOXX is one of the most extreme eMTBs as it is! And with the new Explorer Kit, which NICOLAI just presented at EUROBIKE, the E-BOXX is also the most extreme commuter and touring bike in the World!

With its pannier rack and mudguards, the NICOLAI G1 E14 EBOXX Explorer is probably the most radical eMTB currently on the market

Not long ago NICOLAI introduced the brand new G1 E14 EBOXX. With its radical geometry and savage look, the German powerhouse is true eye candy. The small German bike manufacturer now offers the bike with a tailor-made Explorer Kit. The kit includes mudguards, a lighting system, a lock, a kickstand as well as a pannier rack and a set of waterproof Ortlieb panniers.

Lights, panniers, mudguards, a kickstand and a lock – the Explorer Kit costs € 950 and includes everything you need for your everyday commuting routine and exciting adventures.

The waterproof ORTLIEB panniers feature a practical quick-release system and are attached to a pannier rack with an integrated mudguard

And NICOLAI even throws in an ABUS lock!

And also the rear bottom-end of the rack is attached to the swingarm via a newly-developed, retrofittable bracket

NICOLAI has manufactured a special bracket to attach the rack to the rear-end of the bike

The two-piece mudguard is bolted onto the fork with a 3D-printed adapter

If you already own a G1 E14 EBOXX or if you just ordered one, you can buy the kit separately and install it on your bike. The kit will set you back € 950. Whilst Nicolai manufactured two special mounts to attach the pannier rack to the frame, the front mudguard, which is based on an SKS mudguard, was adapted and mounted to the suspension fork with the help of a 3D printed adapter – cable ties, anyone? No thanks!

The kickstand gives you a massive plus of comfort in your everyday routine

The panniers are big enough for excursions and shopping trips

The Supernova M99 MINI brings plenty of light into the darkest of nights…

… and for extra peace of mind, a rear-light makes you visible to other road users

NICOLAI also added a new service hatch, which among other things, allows you to adjust the cable length of your dropper-post quickly and easily

The G1 E14 EBOXX is powered by the new Bosch Performance CX 2020 motor which draws its power from a 625 Wh battery. Whilst the KIOX display is currently still attached to the handlebars, on the production bike this will sit on the top tube, where it will be less exposed to impacts. The 14-gear Rohloff hub and Gates CARBON DRIVE belt ensure minimal maintenance and top reliability.

The motor relies on a Gates CARBON DRIVE belt-system, which requires minimal maintenance

An electronic Rohloff’s E-14 hub provides a huge gear-ratio and reliable gear-shifts
