YouMo
Swiss electric bikes are pretty successful in Europe and even across the
Atlantic, this success story gives ideas to new local companies.
YouMo has just launched
its first electric bike, a unisex aluminum frame that comes in four versions
with scalable finish and performances. The frame’s design is reminiscent of
beach cruisers, the electrical components are placed at the bottom in a
relatively discrete way, thus improving the center of gravity.
Despite its aluminum
construction it weighs 25 kg without battery, the 15Ah battery will allow a
range of 50 to 100 km depending on the efforts of the cyclist. The entry level
is the YouMo One with a price of € 2,950, it is a pedelec with 24 inches wheels
and a LED light fitted inside the frame, the derailleur is a 8 speed SRAM.
Then comes the One C accessorized with mud guard for € 3,250, then the equipment increases (brakes and derailleur)
with the X250 and X500, a true e-bike with 500Watts of power and a maximum speed
of 45 km/h, it priced at € 4,470.
The
electric bicycles YouMo are yet sold online and through a national network of
dealers.
