Electric bikes are sweeping the outdoor industry by storm, providing riders with increased range, more power, and the ability to conquer trails with ease. Up until now, their unwieldy size made them less than ideal for RVs, but Montague Bikes is changing that with the all new M-E1. A performance trekking e-bike that folds in seconds with a single quick release. The patent-pending design allows the full-size mid-drive e-bike to stow in an RV’s cargo area, offering recreation and transportation for the campsite. Finally, an electric bike exists for the RV owner.
Montague’s patent-pending frame design makes folding and transporting the bike quick and effortless. The weight of the bike is supported by the double-leg kickstand during folding, so riders don’t need to lift or support the bike in any way. Once folded, the bike can be rolled for transport by holding the handlebar and simply tilting the bike onto the wheels. The fold-and-roll design makes the M-E1 the most portable e-bike on the market, and for even more compact storage, the handlebars fold with an additional quick release, creating a 38″ x 38″ x 13″ package.
The Montague M-E1 comes equipped with a Shimano STEPS E6100 mid-drive motor. The compact, lightweight, and powerful 250W motor ensures riders can tackle trails and hills with ease and arrive at their destination feeling fresh and invigorated. A 36V / 418Wh lithium battery pack provides up to 80 kilometers of pedal assist on a single charge. The system is paired with a Shimano Deore drivetrain for reliable shifting, and an SR Suntour NEX suspension fork for a smooth ride over the rugged paths and trails around camp sites. Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes offer superb stopping power in all conditions.
The custom drawn aluminum frame features an integrated rear rack to provide secure cargo capacity with a sleek and seamless design. E-bike specific Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires provide maximum durability, low rolling resistance, and superior grip. Mud guards and built-in Herrmans LED front and rear lights ensure riders will be visible in all weather.
The Montague M-E1 is introduced as part of the company’s complete line of high-performance folding bikes which includes 700c road/urban models and 26″/27.5″ wheel mountain models.
