Malaguti develops the electric bike market
Until now, the Italian brand Malaguti, mainly focused on its line of motorcycles, is entering the active segment of electric bicycles. On the menu for 2021: 8 models equipped with systems from the German supplier Bosch.
The electric bike success story seems to inspire many players in the two-wheeled vehicle world. After Ducati, Harley-Davidson or, more recently, Spanish GasGas, it was Italian brand Malaguti's turn to go on an adventure. The manufacturer, owned by the Austrian KSR group, enters the market with a line of 8 models, divided into several large families.
Full range of urban and trekking models
For city dwellers, Malaguti's electric offer consists of two models: Bolognina WV3.0 and Pescarola WV5.0. Both feature a low pitch aluminum frame and are distinguished by their electrical configuration. While the Bolognina WV3.0 combines a 40Nm Bosch Active Line motor with a 400Wh battery, the Pescarola reaches 50Nm thanks to the Active Line Plus motor and gets a 500Wh battery. The entry-level Bolognina starts at 2299 euros and the Pescarola goes up to 2699 euros.
In terms of trekking, Malaguti's offer again includes two models, but with more powerful engines. Equipped with the same Bosch Performance Line CX engine with 85 Nm of torque and available in two frame types, the two models differ in particular in their battery capacity. Mounted on 28-inch wheels, the Carezza is content with a 500 Wh package, while the 29-inch Cortina reaches 625 Wh. As for the price, consider 2799 and 3199 euros, respectively.
