Desiknio has introduced the Endorphin, a sleek and inconspicuous electric bike available in two model variants, catering to diverse riding preferences. Customers can opt for either a flat handlebar for a classic look or a drop handlebar reminiscent of racing cycles, allowing for enhanced aerodynamics and increased riding comfort, particularly on longer journeys.
Weighing in at just 26 pounds (12 kilograms), the Endorphin achieves this impressive lightness through its carbon frame, which also extends to the fork.
The bike is powered by a Mahle X20 hub motor, offering a torque of up to 55 Nm, making it an efficient choice for various terrains. Integrated into the design is an iX250 battery with a capacity of 250 Wh, providing a range of up to 62 miles (100 kilometers) without an additional range extender, which can be installed for further distance.
The Endorphin features a Shimano XT 12F derailleur system with 12 gears, ensuring optimal performance even when riding without electrical assistance. Safety and control are enhanced with 160 millimeter hydraulic disc brakes, while integrated lighting offers visibility during low-light conditions. However, the bike does not include mudguards, a kickstand, or a pannier rack, which may be considerations for potential buyers.
Desiknio has priced the Endorphin starting at €5,895, with the drop handlebar model available for an additional €100. Pre-orders are now open, allowing enthusiasts to secure their order for this innovative electric bike.
