New trekking e-bike with an unusual mid-drive motor, 70 Nm, and hub gearing

Raymon has listed a new e-bike, the Numa Pure Wave. The bike is offered in several colors and sizes and is listed at 2,229 euros in Germany. Raymon also appears to be expanding its presence in other European markets. The Numa Pure Wave is a fairly conventional trekking e-bike with a low-step frame, making it easy to mount and dismount. The manufacturer states a weight of 25.5 kilograms (56.2 lbs) and a maximum permissible total weight of 140 kilograms (308.6 lbs), which should still leave enough capacity for luggage even for heavier riders. The MIK HD-compatible rear rack can reportedly carry up to 27 kilograms (59.5 lbs).

An adjustable kickstand is included, along with front and rear fenders and integrated lighting. That should make the bike suitable for everyday use in poor weather and after dark. Raymon opts for a mid-drive motor, but not one from the usual names such as Bosch, Bafang, or DJI. Instead, the Numa Pure Wave uses the Oli Pico motor, rated at up to 70 Nm of torque and a peak output of 650 watts. Its continuous rated output is limited to 250 watts, which keeps it within the legal framework for this type of e-bike, for example, in Germany. The battery is inserted into the frame from above and has a capacity of 504 Wh.

Power is transmitted via a conventional chain, but Raymon does without a derailleur. Instead, the bike uses a five-speed Shimano internal gear hub. This design is generally better protected against dirt and moisture, although the limited number of gears also restricts flexibility. The bike is fitted with an SR Suntour NEX-E25 suspension fork with 75 millimeters of travel, which is fairly typical for trekking e-bikes. Braking is handled by Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, specifically the HD-M3120 setup with two pistons per caliper, a 180-millimeter front rotor, and a 160-millimeter rear rotor.
