Advanced eBikes introduce 100% recyclable ‘Reco’ frame to UK market
German e-bike manufacturer Advanced Technologies GmbH has partnered with a UK distributor to bring a very unique e-bike, the Reco, featuring a 100% recyclable frame, into the market.
Advanced Bikes UK – who are actively looking to expand their dealer network – will be at Eurobike 2022 for the launch of the Reco, which has also been entered into the Innovators Award Category for the Eurobike Awards 2022.
As a ‘cycling as transport’ focused e-bike, the Reco comes equipped with the Bosch Smart System, along with a variety of other component options:
- Bosch Performance Line CX motors with 85 Nm of torque
- 500, 625, 750 Wh batteries
- Hub or derailleur gearing
- Chain or belt drive
- Wave or diamond frames
- Rigid or suspension fork
- 30 year frame warranty
- 4 years Bosch warranty (double the standard) for motor and battery
The bikes come in 2 sizes: S-M, L-XL, and 3 colour options; 2 Gloss , 1 Matte, and retail at £4,549 and £4,749 spec dependant.
Of the pioneering frame, Helge von Fugler, founder and CEO of Advanced Technologies GmbH comments: “The great thing about Reco is that the process actually exists and is proven with bikes on the road, it is not a product study or concept…Reco One e-bikes are already being used by riders.”
The Reco frame, injection moulded in Germany, has already won several industry awards for its material use, construction techniques and recyclability. In a completely sustainable process, making new material from old material, the frame can also be ground up, melted down and then manufactured into a new frame or component.
“We can save 68% CO2 compared to a frame made of aluminium or a frame made of new layered carbon fibre” points out Helge von Fugler.
UK and ROI Distributors, Adam and Sophie Browne from Advanced Bikes UK comments: “Feedback from dealers and press who have seen the early samples has been awesome and we look forward to extending our network in the UK.”
“Working with Advanced we have created a range of bikes for the UK which offer excellent performance and styling, while at the same time promoting an inspiring sustainability message. We are passionate about cycling advocacy and providing e-bikes that offer solutions to many modern issues, including transport, health and the environment.”
