HEPHA Urban 7 Concept

At first glance, it looks like a sleek, stylish city e-bike - on closer inspection, the HEPHA Urban 7 turns out to be a radical cross-over concept with smart features for the city. Urban, trekking and cargo bike - the HEPHA Urban 7 combines these three categories in one: light and slim like an urban bike, powerful and versatile like a touring bike and practical like a cargo bike. The optional front box acts as a kind of luggage compartment in which everyday items can be safely stowed on daily rides. Lockable and protected from the wind and weather, the laptop and shopping arrive at their destination dry. But that's not all, because the HEPHA Urban 7 is equipped with a burglar-proof lock in the front hub. The lock developed by 2Lock can be combined with an alarm system. If someone tampers with the e-bike, a human-like voice warns and calls for help. The HEPHA Urban 7 will be sold with optional 3-year comprehensive insurance from 2025. This is the first time that a bicycle manufacturer has offered all-round protection similar to that of a car.

Together with Limotec, a "dropper stem" was developed, which for the first time allows the rider to continuously adjust the handlebar position at the touch of a button while riding. Upright, for a better overview in traffic, or sportier - depending on the riding situation, the seating position can be adjusted continuously and flexibly. With 21.9 kg, 5-speed gears and a powerful 80 Nm mid-engine, the Hepha Urban 7 combines the three most important categories into a new concept. The perfect fusion for urban people who don't want to choose.

The near-series concept will be available as a production bike at the beginning / middle of 2025.

HEPHA City 7

For the first time, HEPHA is also presenting a city bike line in model year 2025! The developers took their cue from the successful sister model, the HEPHA Trekking 7. The low step-through ensures safety in urban traffic, as does the roadworthy equipment with lights, pannier rack and kickstand. There will be two versions of the HEPHA City 7. The entry-level Long Range model uses the new S80 mid-motor. With a maximum torque of 80 Nm, 750 W peak power and a 708 Wh battery, it provides sufficient support even on longer tours. The low-maintenance Nexus 5-speed gear hub guarantees smooth gear changes even under load. The Enviolo HD Automatiq automatic gear system has been installed in the top-of-the-range Ultra model. The stepless automatic technology offers a completely new riding experience. The cyclist only needs to set the desired cadence and the stepless automatic technology adjusts the enviolo system so that they can always pedal at the same speed - even uphill or downhill. The HEPHA City 7 uses the tried-and-tested P101 with a maximum torque of 100 Nm. The city models will be available in a step-through and a high-step version. Prices start at 3,499 euros.

HEPHA S80 Drive Unit

The HEPHA motor range is growing. With the new S80 motor, the Maisach-based manufacturer is expanding its portfolio for lightweight e-bikes and combining the best of both worlds: This is because the compact mid-motor does not follow the usual market credo of "weight reduction through power reduction". Weighing just 2.2 kg, it delivers a maximum torque of 80 Nm and 750 W peak power. For the first time, it combines the weight of a light-assist motor with the full performance of a normal full-assist motor. Despite its performance, it is extremely economical with a maximum efficiency of up to 87%. This makes it the perfect choice for light, slim e-bikes without having to accept any loss of riding pleasure or range of use. The new S80 will be used in the coming season on all new City 7 Long Range models as well as the Urban 7 Long Range and Ultra.

HEPHA Mountain 7 SUV Upgrade Kit

The HEPHA Mountain 7 is the perfect all-rounder, because the hardtail shows its advantages on sporty tours as well as on daily rides. Despite its sporty geometry, the robust frame offers a comfortable riding position. In terms of workmanship, HEPHA has set the standard high with the Mountain 7: the aluminum frame looks as if it is made from a single piece, with all shape transitions integrally welded to a high standard. The Mountain 7 is available in three different versions: Performance (80 Nm torque), Long Range (90 Nm) or Ultra (100 Nm). The overall package is rounded off with 10 or 11-speed gears, hydraulic disc brakes and a 708 or 804 Wh battery. Its selected equipment details make it the ideal choice for anyone looking for the perfect balance between price and performance. And to get even more out of the model, HEPHA offers an attractive upgrade kit with which the E-MTBs can be upgraded to an SUV. The kit includes mudguards, a kickstand and a luggage rack, as well as an optional lighting package. The upgrade kit will be available from fall 2024 and will start at an RRP of 149 euros.
