Compact step-through eBike MiRiDER 24 launches for leisure and commuter riders
Using feedback from retailers, MiRiDER has developed and launched an all-new electric bicycle, the MiRiDER 24. The compact, step-through eBike is pitched at both leisure riders and commuters.
Building on its 16in light weight folder, MiRiDER studied the market and canvassed its 200-plus strong dealer network and it developed a step-through eBike in a consistently MiRiDER way, aiming for a fun, lightweight and agile bike.
The release comes hot on the heels of its collaboration with Hope.
“The MiRiDER One and MiRiDER One GB3 have always been hand-assembled at our facility in Wigan,” said Martin Higginson, Marketing Director. “The MiRiDER 24 will utilise the same production facility and highly trained operatives to guarantee the same levels of quality that MiRiDER has built its reputation upon.
The MiRiDER 24 is available in two premium, matt metallic colours: Ember Orange and Onyx Grey. From launch, customers can choose from a single-speed version or the GB3 version, which incorporates a G3ARED three-speed gearbox and a Gates Drive Belt system. Both models come with a comprehensive two-year warranty.
It features a step through aluminium frame which tips the scales at 21kg (with battery), making it lightweight but incredibly stable, safe to ride, and more agile than competition, so said the brand, adding that its shortened wheelbase geometry gives it an incredible turning circle, making it easy to manoeuvre with confidence.
Sharing space saving elements from their 16in cousin such as a folding handlebar stem, pedals and removeable saddle stem, it allows slender (30cm) storage at home or on the go – specifically designed for Motorhome garage spaces at just 86cm high, or equally happy on cycle racks.
The bike is equipped with 24-inch wheels boasting MiR-T Original road tyres and it has a geometry that allows for a rider height range from 152cm (5ft) to 193cm (6ft 4in) with a maximum rider weight of 120kg.
Extended Range and Short Charging Time
The MiRiDER 24 is controlled by the exclusive MiRiDER MIDRIVETMelectric drive system featuring its enviable boost system, powered by a Samsung 10.5aH 378Wh battery. The 36v system can reach an impressive 65 miles (100kms) on a single charge via the 250w silent-running rear hub-mounted motor with riders utilising the clever software and thumb operated ‘Boost control’ when needed. A full charge takes between 2.5 and 3 hours using the 3A MiRiDER charger that is supplied as standard. The battery also has charge status lights that are integrated into the lockable and removable unit for convenience.
