【Electric Assist Bicycle】Small but powerful! A 16-inch folding type that can be taken on trains
The electric assist bicycle brand “PELTECH” plans to release a new electric assist bicycle “X MINI” in December 2025. Despite its small body, it offers surprisingly powerful performance. Its compact design allows for smooth transport on trains.
The electric assist bicycle "PELTECH X MINI," developed over a period of 5 years, features a newly developed high-power central motor
. It's a "city-focused" high-power e-Bike. By equipping it with a newly developed high-power central motor, it achieves a powerful ride while remaining compact. The combination of 16-inch small wheels and a lightweight aluminum frame, along with a quiet belt drive and a wide 3-speed transmission with a gear ratio of 2.1 to 3.9, allows for comfortable riding in a variety of scenarios, including starting on hills and traveling long distances.
The newly developed high-power central motor utilizes a quiet and clean belt drive system. There are no oily stains like those from a chain, and maintenance is hassle-free.
The control switch is equipped with a USB charging port. Not only can the level of assistance be adjusted freely, but it also allows for charging smartphones and electronic devices, making it convenient when using navigation apps.
When using an electric assist bicycle for commuting or daily travel, one concern might be whether it fits in an elevator. The "XRC-163L" has a mini size with a total length of 136 cm. When folded, it becomes compact at 750×400×740 mm, making it easy to carry not only in elevators but also on trains.
Dedicated transport bags and options like front baskets will also be released simultaneously. You can customize according to your lifestyle and purpose.
