Vello Unveils the SUB: A Lightweight E-Cargo Bike Built for Urban Conquest
Austrian e-bike innovator Vello has taken the wraps off its latest creation, the aptly named Vello Sub Smart Utility Bike. Designed to tackle the demands of city living, the Sub boasts an impressive combination of lightweight construction, ample cargo space, and powerful electric assistance.
Light on Weight, Heavy on Performance
The Sub comes in two flavors: a featherweight titanium option tipping the scales at just 24kg and a robust Chromoly steel version weighing in at 28kg. Both models prioritize stability and maneuverability with their wide 20-inch Schwalbe tires that keep the center of gravity low.
But don’t let the Sub’s svelte physique fool you. This e-cargo bike is a hauling champ, offering space for both passengers and additional cargo on the front rack.
Powering Your Urban Adventures
Vello equips the Sub with top-shelf components, including the latest Bosch Cargo Performance Line motor, churning out a potent 600W (rated at 250W) and a whopping 85Nm of torque. This electric muscle is fueled by a dual Bosch battery system with a combined capacity of 1000Wh, offering a potential range of up to 250km on a single charge – enough to conquer even the most sprawling urban jungles.
Effortless Maintenance and Gearing for Every Climb
Say goodbye to greasy chains and frequent tune-ups. The Sub features a Gates Carbon belt drive paired with an Enviolo internal gear system, providing a practically maintenance-free drivetrain with a wide 380% gear range to tackle any hill with ease.
Safety is paramount when carrying precious cargo, so Vello equips the Sub with four-piston Magura MT-4 hydraulic disc brakes for assured stopping power in any situation.
Versatility at Your Fingertips
Vello understands that urban needs are ever-changing. That’s why they’ve designed the Sub with a clever tool-free, quick-release accessory system. This allows riders to effortlessly transform their Sub from passenger carrier to cargo hauler in seconds.
The MIK HD safety system makes adding child seats or cargo baskets a breeze, ensuring a secure and convenient ride for you and your loved ones.
Vello: Designed for the Modern City Dweller
Vello was born from a passion for creating functional, lightweight, and stylish mobility solutions. The Sub embodies this philosophy perfectly, merging innovative technologies with a minimalist design to empower riders to navigate the challenges of modern city life with ease.
