Ellio Max 45 2024

March 6, 2024.

On June 21, 2023, at the Eurobike in Frankfurt, Ellio unexpectedly presented the "big brother" of the Ellio Elite: the Ellio Max. We discuss the 2024 version here. Max's frame feature is its large, 27.5 Inch, wheel size, which is the standard for speed pedelecs. Previous Ellio models have 20-inch wheels. A lot has evolved in the Max model. For example, more power goes to the rear wheel (better acceleration and uphill). Improved belt tensioner. Semi-mid-drive motor is better protected against water and debris allowing longer service intervals. Improved road contact due to 10 mm wider rims and 3 mm wider tires. Bottle cage screw set on the middle tube. Raised, symmetrical swingarms for better belt alignment. Steering angle limiter in the, Ellio made, headset prevents cable breakage and is prepared for internal cablerouting. Like the Elite (which has been renamed "Original" from June 21, 2023), Max has the DNA of Ellio, with many unique, revolutionary parts. An all-wheel drive by a semi-mid-wheel and a front-wheel motor. Ellio's own automatic, infinitely adjustable gear hub (the Ellio CVT) in the rear wheel, continuous gear changes without human intervention. With double belt drive. The first belt, a Gates Carbon Drive, on the right side for the human power, which runs from the bottom bracket to the rear wheel, from 50 teeth to 19. A second belt, Gates Powergrip GT3, runs to the left of the high-revving, semi-mid-drive motor mounted above the bottom bracket to the rear wheel: from 18 teeth to 77. The latter place is unique to Ellio, normally in a mid-drive motor the bottom bracket is the input shaft. Thanks to the belts and the gear hub, the bike is low-maintenance. You can easily set your desired cadence by pressing a button on the handlebar on the right, even during the ride. On the steeringbar is also located the adjustable cruise control or speed limiter where you decide how hard you pedal. If you pedal backwards, the bike will slow down due to energy regeneration: your battery then charges up a bit and you save brake pads. The comfort of this bike comes from its fat tires and the standard Kinekt stem suspension, there is no front or rear wheel suspension, but optionally a seatpost suspension is available. The large, light gray buttons on the left handlebar are also ergonomically placed, which is handy when wearing gloves. The centrally placed, non-removable, large, color display is easy to read. With a large, flat, side-detachable, ontube battery of 1,150 Wh, you also have plenty of range. You can choose between a sporty or comfortable sitting position when ordering Your bike. The bike can easily hold 45 Km/Hour. In addition, Ellio is known for its unprecedented home service. Options: seat post suspension Cirrus Kinekt € 300.00, handlebar riser € 95, bicycle bell € 22, mud flap on front fender € 9, Bordo lock € 159.
