Strong EVO 5F Lite: Strong e-bike comes with hub gears and Bosch motor

Pegasus has another e-bike in its range. The Strong EVO 5F Lite is a little more robust, with maximum permissible total weight of 180 kilograms. The weight of the bike itself is stated as just under 30 kilograms, resulting in a payload of 150 kilograms for the rider, luggage and other accessories. The built-in luggage rack is compatible with the MonkeyLoad system and can also securely accommodate panniers. As is typical for a trekking e-bike, the equipment includes mudguards, a bike stand and lights on both the front and rear. 

The Strong EVO 5F Lite is equipped with a third-generation Performance Line CX motor, which, thanks to an update, can reach a torque of up to 100 Nm and a peak power of 750 watts. The e-bike is listed with both a 600 Wh and an 800 Wh battery capacity, both of which are integrated into the frame but are removable. The installed Bosch Intuvia 100 display is not particularly large and does not support color, but is still said to be able to display all the necessary information. The suspension fork is from SR Suntour and provides 100 millimeters of travel. 

Schwalbe Energizer Plus Performance tires are fitted and hydraulic Tektro HD-T390 disc brakes are used, which operate on 180 millimeter rotors at the front and rear. A hub gear system with five gears is on board; a coaster brake is not integrated. Power is transmitted via a chain rather than a belt drive, and a chain guard is included to prevent dirt build-up. 

The Strong EVO 5F Lite is available directly €4,299, but only in certain European countries. Customers can purchase the e-bike with an 800 Wh battery for this price. The 600 Wh battery is available for €300 less.
