The Simply.Lift EP6 combines proven brand-name components into a reliable setup for everyday use: a powerful Shimano EP6 mid-drive motor with 85 Nm of torque, a 418 Wh battery, Nexus 5 internal gear hub, hydraulic 4-piston brakes (MT420, 180 mm), a Suntour suspension fork (80 mm), an Optibelt carbon belt drive, Busch & Müller lighting, and an adjustable Ergotec cockpit. The result: natural assistance, quiet operation, low maintenance, and long-lasting enjoyment in everyday family life. Range: up to 120 km, maximum load: 150 kg, weight: approx. 28 kg.
The drive: naturally powerful
The Shimano EP6 delivers 85 Nm of torque. You can feel this when starting on inclines or with two passengers. The motor provides finely tuned assistance, making the bike predictable even when loaded. A range of up to 120 km depends on the route, mode, and load. Good news: The 418 Wh battery is removable for charging.
Shifting, braking, rolling – designed for durability

The Shimano Nexus 5-speed internal gear hub keeps the drivetrain enclosed and protected from dirt. This is complemented by the MT420 4-piston disc brakes with 180 mm rotors front and rear: plenty of stopping power, even when fully loaded. The Suntour SBF82R4-MOBIE34-Boost fork with 80 mm of travel ensures comfort on cobblestones, reducing vibrations for both rider and passengers.
Clean and quiet: belt instead of chain

The Optibelt carbon/PU belt runs quietly and requires no lubrication. No oil, no rust – and noticeably less maintenance. For families, this means fewer trips to the mechanic, more driving.
Visibility and safety

The Busch & Müller LUMOTEC Briq-S (60 Lux) is used at the front, and the B&M Dart E at the rear. Together with the MT420 brakes, this creates a setup that remains visible in twilight and rain and provides reliable braking.
Cockpit and ergonomics

The Shimano SCV-E5000 display clearly shows the most important riding data. The Ergotec handlebars and stem are adjustable, allowing for a more upright riding position for riders up to 170 cm tall and a sportier position for those taller than 170 cm. This makes the EP6 feel like a familiar city bike in everyday use – only with an electric boost.
