SHIMANO ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM

S-Electro Metro is designed around the Shimano Steps E7000 electric assist motor and is powered by a sizable 504Wh internal battery. The Steps motor has plenty of range 30 - 100km depending on your level of assist and terrain, and recharges to 80% in 3 hours.

FRAME DESIGN

Metro features a S-Electro engineered hydroformed alloy frame. The battery and all cables are internal, and the motor mount is neatly integrated. Hydroforming is a process where thinwall alloy tubing gets molded into complex shapes by internal pressurized water and or oil - this creates stronger tubing resulting in lighter, stronger frames.
