PEUGEOT CYCLES LAUNCHES ITS LEGEND e-BIKE eLC01 WITH 26 INCHES WHEELS

The PEUGEOT eLC01, now equipped with 26 inch wheels (frame size: M and S) in addition to the 24 inch version (frame size: XS) improves its versatility. The 26 inch model improves the comfort for the taller riders. Its larger tyres are adapted to the majority of roads and paths. Modern and hi-tech, the PEUGEOT eLC01 is easy to ride. Efficient with an eight-speed transmission and a 400 kW motor, it has a range of up to 43 miles and its brake discs keep it safe and secure. Compact, easy to handle and agile around the city, it is comfortable with its cushioned saddle and practical, with its “Racktime” luggage rack for fast bag attachment.

Its timeless and distinctive design is signed by PEUGEOT Design Lab. It draws on more than 130 years of PEUGEOT Cycles history. The architecture of its ‘single-stay’ frame, which incorporates the rear chain & seat stays into a luggage rack, is directly inspired by the legendary PEUGEOT’s from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Its signature “triple lion” chainset replicates one of the PEUGEOT’s most iconic components. It is available in White, Blue, Orange, Green and Aubergine. Its chequer pattern symbolises the epic history of PEUGEOT Cycles.

The PEUGEOT eLC01, launched in October 2018, enhances the PEUGEOT e-Bikes offering and completes the range of PEUGEOT LEGEND bikes, featured with a ‘neo-retro’ design and dedicated to city users (Mixt or Fixie versions), road users, or juniors.

Through the PEUGEOT Cycles website, future buyers can check the availability of models of the entire range from the comfort of their home. All they have to do is choose the size of the frame (S, M, L or XL), the colour of the bike and size of the battery (depending on the model).
