Montague: M-E1

Introducing the Montague M-E1: The Pinnacle of Foldable E-Bike Engineering

Crafted for the discerning urban commuter and adventure enthusiast alike, the Montague M-E1 stands out as the world's first full-size performance foldable e-bike. Combining the robust functionality of a high-performance bicycle with the practicality of a foldable frame, the M-E1 is the quintessential solution for anyone seeking efficiency and high quality in one compact package. Designed meticulously by Montague, this bike offers the same riding quality as traditional non-folding bikes, but with a transformative ability to fold quickly for convenient transport and storage.

Power and Performance

Motor and Drive System: At the heart of the M-E1 lies the Shimano STEPS E6100 mid-drive motor, renowned for its reliability and efficiency. This 250W motor delivers a powerful 60 Nm of torque, allowing for rapid acceleration and capable performance on varying terrains—from bustling city streets to challenging country trails. The mid-drive configuration ensures a balanced weight distribution and natural riding feel, enhancing bike stability and handling.

Battery and Range: Equipped with a robust 418Wh lithium-ion battery, the M-E1 promises an impressive range of up to 45 miles on a single charge. This makes it ideal for both daily commutes and longer recreational rides. The integration of the battery into the frame not only optimizes the center of gravity for better bike control but also preserves the sleek aesthetics of the e-bike.

Unmatched Folding Mechanism

Quick and Easy Folding: Revolutionizing the foldable bike market, the M-E1 features a sophisticated quick-release mechanism that enables the bike to be folded in seconds. This feature is pivotal for urban riders who need to transition between cycling and public transport or for those with limited storage space. Once folded, the bike’s compact form can be easily rolled on its wheels, ensuring that you never have to carry the weight.

Superior Riding Experience

Wheels and Tires: The bike rolls on full-size 700c wheels, which provide a smoother ride over bumps and offer greater momentum compared to smaller wheels. These are wrapped in Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires, known for their durability and excellent grip, adding a layer of safety and comfort to your rides.

Suspension and Comfort: Enhancing the comfort further, the Montague M-E1 incorporates a front suspension fork by SR Suntour NEX, offering 30mm of travel to cushion the ride over potholes and rough terrain. This feature is crucial for maintaining control and comfort during longer journeys or when navigating through rough surfaces.

Safety and Security Features

Integrated Lighting and Robust Braking: Safety is paramount with the M-E1. It comes equipped with Herrmans LED front and rear lights that ensure visibility in low-light conditions. For stopping power, the bike boasts Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes, offering reliable and immediate braking response, essential for the stop-and-go nature of urban environments.

Advanced Security: The bike's design considers urban security challenges. It includes an integrated frame lock, complemented by the compact folding ability that allows riders to keep the bike indoors or in secure locations, mitigating the risk of theft.
