Italian A’ Design Award 2019 nominated e-road bike

The Maserati Trofeo e-race bike is the result of a combined design project between Bafang, Diavelo and Maserati. This ultra-light alloy electric road bike is creating a new category of e-bikes combining traditional road bike performance with an electric drivetrain system.

One of the key advantages of the new drive unit is its low weight, at less than 4,4 kg, but with a 200 W rated output power and a max torque of 55 Nm, including a 200 Wh inTube battery, display and remote shifters.

The pedaling assist level can be set in five steps controlled by one or two satellite shifter pods, which can be individually placed on the drop handlebar. The 2.2 inch TFT color display offers up to ten settings. Since an e-road bike will very quickly exceed the 25 km/h (EU) legal motor assist speed threshold, the drive unit has been tuned to perform optimally when starting off and accelerating, as well as on short sprints and steep climbs. For the US and other regions, the speed limit can be set at 32 km/h or 45 km/h instead.
