Discover the Future of Urban Mobility: The Vello Sub
Introducing the Vello Sub, an innovative, foldable e-bike designed to revolutionise your daily commute and errands. Vello, the pioneering bike manufacturer from Vienna, Austria, has once again pushed the boundaries with this lightweight, utility-focused electric cargo bike. Founded by industrial designer Valentin Vodev in 2013, Vello continues to blend functionality with style, and the Sub is a testament to their commitment.
Key Features and Specifications
The Vello Sub is available in two robust frame materials: a featherweight titanium version and a slightly heftier chromoly steel version. Despite their differences in weight, both models offer a remarkable maximum payload of 210 kg and ample cargo space, making the Sub an excellent car replacement for city living. The bike’s dual seating and front-and-rear cargo racks enhance its utility, allowing you to transport groceries, kids, pets, or tools with ease.
Smart Design and Connectivity
A standout feature of the Sub is its tool-free design, enabling users to swap cargo racks, seats, and add-ons effortlessly. This flexibility is complemented by a small, connected display that syncs with a mobile device, offering smart features like battery and mileage monitoring. The dedicated app further enriches the user experience with functionalities such as an e-bike alarm, digital key lock, and personalised navigation and route planning. The Sub is also equipped with the Bosch Smart system, which can enable a GPS tracker to deter theft.
Performance and Range
Powering the Sub is an 85 Nm Bosch Performance Line CX motor paired with a 545Wh battery. For those seeking extended range, a dual battery pack option can deliver up to 250 km (155 miles) per charge.
Quality Components
Vello has equipped the Sub with premium components to ensure a smooth and safe ride. These include Magura four-piston disc brakes, wide 20” puncture protection Schwalbe tyres, and a low-maintenance Gates CDX belt. Safety is further enhanced with Supernova rear lights featuring a brake light function. Finally, the Sub boasts an Enviolo gear hub - no load is too heavy for the Enviolo Heavy Duty gear hub! You can effortlessly transport up to 250 kg with the heavy duty hub. This makes the hub gear perfect for use on cargo e-bikes. Despite the enormous load capacity, you don't have to make any compromises in terms of ease of use and function. Switch continuously between the different gear ratios and always find the right pedal.
Compact and Portable
True to its name, the Sub is designed for portability. It features a folding design with a collapsible handlebar and folding pedals, reducing its size to just 29 cm in width and 85 cm in height when folded. This makes it easy to store in small apartments or transport in the trunk of a car. Weighing in at 24 kg without accessories, the Sub is both manageable and practical.
Conclusion
The Vello Sub is more than just an e-bike; it's a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution for modern urban transportation. Whether you need a reliable vehicle for daily commutes, running errands, or transporting cargo, the Vello Sub stands out as a versatile and smart choice. As usual, you can come in and try the Vello at Rothar!
