Antonia – The Avant-Gardist

• Simply integrate a battery, build the wheel around the rear engine - and the Schindelhauer e-bike is done.
  It was not that easy, we have developed a completely new frame for our Arthur.
  Not only is the battery integrated into the down tube, all cables disappear within the frame. This is how we managed to maintain the typical look of a classic Schindelhauer bike. Arthur has, like our classics, an aero-shaped seat tube with integrated saddle clamping.
  As usual, we also use high-quality 6061 aluminium as frame material and smooth the weld seams in the so-called "flat-welding" process. The forged dropouts contain our patented Schindelhauer - Belt Port. The frame is stable, sturdy and yet lightweight - perfect for a city bike, which is also an incognito e-bike.

• A reliable, lightweight rear-engine with sophisticated controls, combined with a sleek battery - MAHLE ebikemotion has managed to unite these requirements in one system. So we chose this system for our model Arthur as an e-bike for city cyclists. A noticeable boost upon the first pedal stroke puts the bike in pole position as soon as the traffic light turns green. In the MAHLE ebikemotion app, the boost can be adjusted individually per support level. The rear engine is reliable, silent and perfectly matched to the battery. Arthur is the first MAHLE ebikemotion model with a silver-matte motor housing, to harmonize with the overall look of the bike. The battery can be removed in case of service by a specialist dealer.

• A flat lens, which is StVZO compliant (road-legal in Germany) and provides enough light output, neither gets hot nor blinds oncoming traffic and fits inside a handlebar - this feat was achieved by the LightSKIN developers. Exactly the right solution for a sleek e-bike like Arthur, which comes without visible battery and cables along the frame. Together with LightSKIN we redesigned both their LED seatpost and the LED handlebar for the German market - and so Arthur is the first e-bike worldwide with a complete, StVZO-compliant LightSKIN lighting system. The power is supplied by the battery.

• The perfect symbiosis between a one-of-a-kind riding and shifting experience now comes in a new, compact design. Pinion C-Line drives are the smallest and yet most powerful central gearboxes on the market. This model comes in 6, 9 or 12 gears and covers a ratio of up to 295% (6-gear) or 600% (12-gear) and therefore is perfectly tuned for city riding. The compact gearbox fits neatly into the frame design and comes with a resilient powder coating.

• LightSKIN is a seat post and tail light in one - and the new model is road legal in Germany according to StVZO laws.
  The power is directly sourced from the integrated battery from Mahle.
  The LightSKIN seat post has five bright, glare-free LED lights, which makes you visible from all sides. The three bottommost LEDs can be turned off and lowered into the seat tube, depending on your height and frame size

• The Gates Carbon Drive belt is revolutionary in terms of bike power transmission. Requiring zero maintenance, the belt also lasts approximately 3-4 times longer than a chain. What’s more, the belt is super strong and efficient because of the embedded carbon fibres as well as being extremely quiet and incredibly lightweight. Life is also a lot easier when your trousers are still clean after travelling by bike thanks to the absence of oil and grease.

• The range depends on several factors. Decisive are the terrain, overall weight (bike and rider) and the starting frequency, e.g. at multiple traffic lights. Leisurely cyclists light on baggage and with few stops can travel a range of 80 km per battery charge in the first support mode (green LED) mode. If you prefer to travel faster or have more baggage with you, it will still travel around 50 km before the extra boost of the motor is absent. But even then the onward journey is no problem, because even without e-motor, Arthur still maintains a natural riding experience.

• We like the idea of a belt drive that blends in with the rear triangle - with our patented Schindelhauer Belt Port (SBP) system, the opening is practically invisible. Changing your drive belt is easy. Wave-like in form, the interlocking connector forms a firm connection between the seatstay and chainstay. Plus, just like a jigsaw piece, it can easily be removed and reinstalled. Normally couplings or bolt connections would be visible around the seatstay area, but with Schindelhauer bikes a bolt connects the SBP to the stiff structure once again as if an opening never existed. We are very proud of the clean, minimalist design of our bikes.

• A reduced design e-bike needs a shapely control element. MAHLE ebikemotion motors are controlled by the iWoc One Button, which makes an intuitive operation possible, without bothersome elements.
  With a long press on the button, the engine is switched on and off, the colours green, orange and red indicate the assistance level, which is immediately noticeable.
  The button works in conjunction with the MAHLE Ebikemotion app. Features such as speedometer, weather data and GPS navigation are displayed here. The bike is also ready for use without the app.

• Mudguards are a must for this bike and the understated CLite guards by Curana are the best match on the market. Due to the innovative aluminium sandwich design, these mudguards are both slim and stiff at the same time.

• Our hydroforming fork, especially designed for our e-bikes, sets a new standard for what is possible with the raw material aluminium. Due to its one-piece-hydroforming-method, a completely hollow fork is created, which is both rigid and lightweight and leaves enough space for internal cable routing. The forged drops, an elegant postmount-brake calliper and Thru-axle system complete this multi featured fork. With its big tyre clearance our hydroforming fork is made for every adventure.

• Shimano hydraulic disc brakes work with mineral oil, require very little maintenance and are characterised by excellent braking performance. The classic design fits perfectly with our bikes.

• Loved by bike enthusiasts from all over the world for decades, you won’t find a classier saddle range than that made by the British company Brooks. The saddle needs a little time to break in but will last you a lifetime; even if you take it to the ends of the earth and back. The Brooks B17 is the company’s exclusive sports saddle. Thanks to the clamp installed beneath the seat, this sleek saddle will keep its shape well into the future.

• Pedal around in style – we sent ourselves on a mission to find the perfect pedal and ended up developing our own: the Urban Pedal. The flat pedal is slip proof to ensure ideal power transmission at all times. Built to be a top-notch performer, the light, CNC-machined pedal is equipped with a CrMo Axle, sealed bearings and IGUS plain bearings. You can opt to fit it with our pedal clips or pedal straps.

• Our ergonomic handlebar grips give you direct feedback from your bike, relieve tension and make every single ride a pure delight. The large contact area means pressure is evenly distributed for comfortable hands, wrists and forearms. Clamping rings at bar ends secure grips to the handlebars and prevent twisting. Form meets function with a leather exterior that matches the colour of the saddle and offers the utmost comfort.

• Based on the casing of the Continental Grand Prix, we have designed perhaps the most sportive urban tyre ever made. We achieved a more comfortable ride by extending the volume to a wider 35-622 dimension. BlackChili high-end rubber compound has been used to provide the right grip in both wet and dry conditions. With PolyX Breaker and an additional rubber layer, this folding tyre possesses all-round puncture protection and the black reflective tape ensures extra safety at night. All this at a weight of only 390 g. The tyre is available in all black as well as with brown side walls.
