Ecobike Lightweight Gravel Bike Forest
Innovation and versatility are the main strands of the Ecobike philosophy. Gravel is a road bike whose possibilities do not end with the asphalt. When we saw the increase in popularity of this type of bike around the world, we had no doubt that we wanted to propose our – electric – vision of such equipment.
Forest consistently follows the gravel concept, but in its DNA, it is still a full-size Ecobike. The inconspicuous and minimalist design deceives the senses, but it hides everything that an e-bike should contain.
A light structure based on an aluminum frame and proven equipment are the basis of a bike that must cope with even very long trips. The equipment includes solid components, starting with the Microshift derailleur, which, in combination with a long-span cassette, will allow you to navigate even highly varied terrain. To keep the bike safe in the toughest conditions, Tektro® hydraulic disc brakes are also present. A characteristic element of gravel are tires – we used CST® with a tread, which will work well on unpaved and wet surfaces.
An important element for expeditions are inserts for accessories located on the frame and fork.
The electric assist system, which is discreetly placed on the bike, is based on Bafang® technology. A small motor mounted in the rear hub provides 250W of power. The 349 Wh battery is completely hidden in the frame. The sporty character of the Forest is emphasized by the characteristic display, the control buttons of which are arranged in two places, so that you can operate the system regardless of how you place your hands on the steering wheel at any given moment.
