Kalkhoff Image 1 Advance
The Kalkhoff Image 1 Advance is a comfortable city e-bike designed for relaxed everyday mobility. Whether for the daily commute, shopping in the city or spontaneous leisure rides, its upright riding position, low-maintenance belt drive and comprehensive everyday equipment make the Image 1 Advance an uncomplicated companion. The comfortable wave frame also makes getting on and off the bike particularly easy and ensures effortless handling.
Bosch Hub Line – compact and perfect for the city
Electric assistance is provided by the Bosch Hub Line Smart System drive with 45 Nm of torque. The compact rear hub motor delivers smooth assistance and is ideally suited to urban riding. Energy is supplied by the fully integrated Bosch PowerTube 540 Wh battery – a well-balanced combination for daily commuting, shopping and relaxed rides. The compact Bosch Purion 200 colour display provides a clear overview of the most important riding and drive data. Positioned directly on the handlebar, it allows intuitive control of the Bosch Smart System.
Low-maintenance belt drive with 2-speed hub gears
One of the special features of the Image 1 Advance is the Gates belt drive. Compared with a conventional bicycle chain, the belt runs particularly quietly and cleanly while requiring minimal maintenance – ideal for an e-bike designed to perform reliably every day. The belt drive is combined with a UT Gear H2 2-speed hub gear system. Its deliberately uncomplicated shifting concept perfectly suits the bike’s urban character and provides simple operation in everyday city traffic.
Plenty of comfort for everyday riding
The SR Suntour Mobie A32 suspension fork with 75 mm of travel provides additional riding comfort. Uneven roads, cobblestones and smaller bumps are effectively absorbed. The suspension seatpost further contributes to the pleasantly comfortable riding experience. The Comfort Riser handlebar, ergonomic grips and adjustable stem support an upright and relaxed riding position. Hydraulic Tektro disc brakes provide controlled and reliable stopping performance for everyday urban riding.
Fully equipped for the city and everyday life
The Image 1 Advance comes with everything a modern city e-bike needs for everyday use. The MIK HD system carrier has a load capacity of up to 27 kg and provides plenty of space for panniers, shopping or additional luggage. Mudguards, an adjustable rear kickstand and LED lighting with a Herrmans MR5 front light and H-Trace rear light complete the equipment.
With a maximum permissible system weight of 150 kg, the Kalkhoff Image 1 Advance also provides generous capacity for rider and luggage. It combines high levels of comfort, simple operation and low-maintenance technology in a well-designed city e-bike for everyday use.
