Vektron P9

The Accelerator

The Vektron is a best-in-class electric bike that folds in 10 seconds to go on trains, in cars, and under desks. With an electric drivetrain, 20” wheel bikes are just as fast as 700c. That means riders can enjoy all the benefits of small wheels—compact size, low center of gravity, quick acceleration, maneuverable handling, and plenty of cargo space—with big wheel speed.

The Vektron P9 comes equipped with a nine-speed Sora drivetrain, for all the gearing you need in the city. With the Tern Cargo Rack, Valo Direct light, and full front and rear fenders, it’s purpose-built for all-season commuting.

Nous voilà séduits par les performances du moteur central Bafang Max Drive. Sur le plan du pilotage le Vektron p9 procure beaucoup de Plaisir. Son coté compact lui permet de se faufiler aisément dans le flot de la circulation tout en restant bien stable grace à un centre de gravité bas. Quant à la position de pilotage, elle est confortable et ne procure pas la moindre tension musculaire. [We are seduced by the performance of the mid-motor Bafang Max Drive.
