Thok, the Italian e-bike brand, has entered the e-SUV market with the launch of its new MIG e-S hybrid model.
According to Thok, the MIG e-S combines the handling and accessories of an urban bike with off-road and sporting features such as: a 150 mm travel fork, 140 mm rear shock and a mullet setup (size S has a 27.5” front wheel for optimised handling).
The e-S is based on the original MIG all-mountain frame. The battery is located under the down tube to lower the centre of gravity and make it easier to handle and a frame featuring the Thok Control Geometry, with a 66° steering angle and a straight seat tube add riding comfort and agility.
The setup includes a Shimano E7000 motor and 630 Wh Shimano removable battery that can be detached and recharged away from the bike.
The MIG e-S is equipped with anti corrosion fenders in aluminium and polypropylene; kickstand adjustable in terms of height; foldable padlock in coated steel, with a case that can be attached to the frame.
The quick release aluminium bike rack can support up to 12 kg and the MIK system enables the rider to position and remove the two large waterproof bags holding 20 litres each
with a single movement.
