The EV5 spec sheet reflects every component being the most appropriate for each job, without compromise.
Every component below was chosen because it's the best available option for its job, not because it was cheapest to source or easiest to spec. The Michelin belt doesn't need oil. The Ananda gearbox doesn't need adjusting. The Samsung cells don't run on a generic BMS. The EV5 is designed to need almost nothing from you, and to last.
Pick a part to see what it is and why it's on the bike.
Light, durable, and repairable. Hydroforming allows complex tube shapes without added weight, which is why this material is correct for daily urban use. The 700×45C clearance handles everything from smooth tarmac to light gravel without a tyre swap.
An integrated unit where the motor and gearbox are a single sealed assembly. This is why the EV5 has no gear cables, no derailleur, and no compatibility problems: the gearbox and motor interact directly. The system reads your speed and gradient and shifts without any input from you. You pedal. It handles the rest.
Samsung premium cells, the same cells you'd choose knowing you needed reliability. The Battery Management System (BMS) prevents the charging and temperature conditions that cause cheap-battery fires. This is not a compromise component. The battery integrates cleanly into the frame and is removable for charging indoors.
Rated past 30,000km. Runs completely dry: no grease, no oil, no chain lube. Quieter than a chain, and resistant to the stretch and wear that makes chains a recurring maintenance item. The belt is the reason there's no grease on your trousers and no degreaser under your sink.
Powerful, quiet, and progressive. Hydraulic disc brakes self-adjust as the pads wear: no cable tension to fiddle with, no gradual loss of feel. Modulates cleanly in wet conditions. The MT200 is a Shimano-engineered component; it's not the flashiest brakeset available, but it's chosen because it works correctly every time.
Approximately 2 hours for a full charge. Built-in overcharge protection: the charger cuts off automatically at capacity. One cable, standard Australian plug. No app, no pairing.
Run off the main battery. Always there when you need them. Nothing to clip on, nothing to recharge separately, nothing to forget before a night ride. Integrated into the frame, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Alloy rather than plastic: strong enough to handle the knocks of urban riding, durable in all conditions. Integrated, not clamped on. Dry legs. Dry back. No sacrificed bag.
Direct chainstay mount for stability and ease of use. The EV5 is a commuter bike: you park it repeatedly, in everyday clothing. The kickstand is stable enough to hold 20kg of bike confidently.
Low standover frame (sizes XS/S and M) in Sand.
Low standover, particularly in smaller sizes, for ease of mounting and dismounting in everyday clothing.
Slightly upright riding position. Designed for navigating traffic and seeing junctions, not for an aerodynamic tuck. Comfortable to share between riders of different body types without technical adjustment.
700×45C. Handles tarmac, bike paths, and light gravel. No tyre swap needed for mixed-surface commuting.
From and for Australia. Blends American cycling culture (light, sleek, sporty) with Dutch and German biking culture (durable, fully-equipped, low-maintenance). Designed from the ground up: every part is intentional.
Four height ranges. Low standover design for accessibility across a wide range of bodies and riding clothing.
Fits riders 163–183cm.
A few peripheral parts need to be fitted when it arrives:
The spec sheet tells you what it's built from. A test ride tells you what it actually feels like. Delivered to your door: two weeks, no fees if you send it back.
