The Quella ELECTRIC Varsity range maintains a vintage retro design with a revolutionary electric motor. The motor and battery fit neatly inside the rear hub in a handsome, stainless steel plated body that enables partial re-charging whilst you ride – say goodbye to sweaty rides (if you want to!). You can arrive at work fresh as a daisy or regulate the power to have a great workout.
Our 'Courier' range utilises bull horn style bars which suit a more sports/aggressive riding style. If you prefer are more upright/easy riding style then check-out our 'Classic' model with riser style handlebars.
Our electric hub has 4 power levels –
-
No assist (manual riding)
-
Eco mode – Pedal assist with maximum distance (50/60km) from one charge.
-
Turbo – Maximum pedal assistance up to 25km/h with a maximum power of 250W.
-
Turbo Custom – Create your own Pedelec power mode! You can change 2 parameters: the amount of BOOST the motor gives you at low speed and the overall amount of ASSISTANCE factor of the motor.
There is no need for tax, insurance or a licence as this innovative motor is compliant with EAPC law.
Bluetooth technology links the hub to your phone so you manage your hub settings through an app. The hub incorporates a regenerative KERS (Kinetic Energy Recuperation System) braking system, similar technology as used in Formula One engines, energy is converted to recharge and power the battery whilst back-pedalling and simultaneously slowing the bicycle down.
