Flow effortlessly, everywhere
Lightweight, comfortable and capable, the all-new RHeO 2 ebike gives you the boost to flow wherever you choose with ease.

Weighing just 15.5kg (size M) makes for near-effortless pedalling and carrying so it's easy to lift and live with, too. So whether you're commuting, riding to the coffee shop, popping to the shops, or pedalling for pleasure, RHeO 2 is ready. 

Charge time: 3.5hrs from empty
Range: 20–65km*

Features:

• Lightweight aluminum frame and fork for easy pedalling and carrying.
• Kynamic hub motor with 450W of peak power and 45Nm torque + 250Wh internal battery deliver you the power and range to ride further and faster.
• Optimised low centre of gravity – by placing the motor battery and weight as low as possible – gives you sure-footed, confident handling.
• Easy to use ebike-specific nine-speed Shimano Cues transmission gives you the gearing to ride everywhere easily.
