Low Frame City Bike - Elops 540, Blue

Make your urban rides fun and comfortable with this city bike. You'll love its practical side and how well-equipped it is.

This city bike comes with quality components: a low frame, pannier rack, internal 7-speed hub, double-walled rims, and automatic lights powered by its dynamo hub.

Shimano Nexus gear changes

This type of gear system is designed to let you change gears when stationary, without pedalling. It makes it easier to get your bike going again, particularly when you're carrying a lot of stuff. The system is also shock-resistant because it's completely integrated into the rear wheel's hub and therefore needs very little maintenance. There's a grip shifter to control it. WARNING: the system needs you to stop pedalling for 1 second to change gears.

Frame

Double-butted steel frame—lighter and more comfortable. Also available in a step-through frame model, making it easier to get on the bike (for both male and female riders). * Double-butted tube: tube with varying thickness to save weight; thicker at the extremities to make it more solid, and thinner in the middle for a more comfortable ride and to better absorb vibrations.

Fork

Slightly curved steel fork to absorb the small bumps in the road and keep you more comfortable as you ride.

Braking

Aluminium V-brake calliper brakes (with pads) and levers.

Handlebar / stem / steering

Aluminium Dutch-style handlebar and damper stem (22.2 diameter) set to a very comfortable upright position. Ergonomic grips to be more comfortable when regularly using the bike, along with inserts for attaching a VIOO clip to make you more visible from the side.A self-centring spring was added between the fork and the frame to help stabilize your bike with a loaded rack, while riding or parked.

SADDLE/SEAT POST

Height-adjustable seat post (28.6 mm diameter), made of steel to more effectively absorb vibrations and provide a more comfortable ride. Wide saddle whose foam padding varies in hardness based on the pressure points between your bum and the saddle. Saddle is set at a 12° angle for greater comfort; welded in place for added safety. Lockable seat clamp (diameter: 31.8 mm) so opportunist thieves can't steal your saddle / seatpost.

Visibility

Back light built into the rear mudguard and front light built into the frame to prevent theft. Rear reflector built into the pannier rack.Reflective strips on the front and rear tyres to keep you more visible in the city when riding in any condition.
