Urbanista Electric Bicycle

Opus now offers a well designed, efficient solution for cyclists who want the option of an electric bike. First, we selected Canadian-made BionX for our electric technology becauase we believe they offer the best available electric motors for bicycles.

We integrated the battery into the design of our Urbanista bikes by dressing it with a handsome synthetic leather cover featuring a handy, expandable pocket. The electric version is available with our Zermatt, Cervin and Classico (men's and women's) models.
