Hydraulic brakes, adjustable front suspension and an exclusive motor with an amazing torque for an enjoyable ride thanks to the 500W electric motor with 100Nm of torque. “Fluid is a step ahead of competition. “
“We designed the Fluid e-bike with you in mind – you, city lovers and outdoor adventurers. You who want something attractive, who value design and quality, who always look for something better, and want to ride the best-in-class e-bike The Fluid will easily tackle your longest commute, in speed and comfort.
