Eurobike 2023: Metz introduces cargo bike and pedelec charging station
The Fürth-based pedelec manufacturer Metz mobility has announced an extension of its portfolio at Eurobike in Frankfurt (June 21-25) to include a long-tail e-cargo bike and a pedelec parking and charging station. The so-called "Cycle Point" is an automated charging and parking facility for e-bikes, which is useful in areas such as sharing or corporate bike fleets. It allows businesses, municipalities, neighborhood developers, courier services, as well as rental and sharing providers to maintain a fleet of always ready and fully charged Metz e-bikes without manual effort and at low installation and operating costs, promotes the manufacturer.
On the bicycle side, in addition to the price/performance test winner at Bike-Bild, the compact universal pedelec E-PACKR, the company is showcasing the new flagship of the pedelec series, the Longtail E-PACKR XL, as well as the E-PACKR XL CP. This is seen as a sustainable transport solution for families and businesses. The very lightweight bike, at 35 kilos, is designed to stand out with its compact dimensions and high variability, and also with a price starting at 4,999 euros, which is considered fair given the offerings. With the help of the self-developed carrier system "MTS", carrying long and bulky items should be no problem. Following the example of the pioneer tern, the PACKR XL can also be parked upright.
Accessories include bicycle bags, luggage boxes, or a load surface for custom attachments. All accessory parts are available from Metz, but standard accessories should also fit the compact cargo bike. Additionally, the manufacturer advertises a robust and tensile CroMoLy steel frame, a strong and quiet in-house developed Metz mid-motor with 85 Nm, a battery with a capacity of 500 Wh, as well as the proven and comfortable stepless Enviolo transmission. For braking the small 20-inch wheels, hydraulic disc brakes from Magura ensure deceleration, the double kickstand ensures a stable stand, the LED lights provide safety, and a TFT display offers ride information. The bike comes with a permissible total weight of up to 200 kg depending on the rider's weight, with an actual payload capacity of almost 100 kilos, and it is truly "Made in Germany".
