The Urban e and Hybrid AL e Trail are fully integrated and controlled via the MAHLE Pulsar One smart display integrated into the handlebars. The handlebars also feature the iWoc Trio control button to change the assistance level whilst looking ahead. A phone or smartwatch can be paired with the MAHLE Ebikemotion app to unlock additional features.
Both bikes are powered by the discreet superlight MAHLE Ebikemotion motor system with three power modes to choose from. A walk mode feature also provides an extra boost of assistance.
