E-bikes 2024: 7 new models with the FIT e-bike system
The year 2023 is just coming to an end, with the start of the 2024 season already approaching. The bicycle manufacturers are also working hard these days to launch the latest model generation in time for the new cycling year. To boost the anticipation of the next season even more, we look at the new e-bike models in the second part of our preview for 2024 (Part 1 was about FIT’s plans). Below we present seven new e-bikes that will soon cause a sensation – of course equipped with components from FIT.
1. FLYER Goroc TR:X
An innovative adventurer – under this motto FLYER presents the new Goroc TR:X. With its 60-millimeter-wide Schwalbe tires and its mountain bike-like geometry, the e-bike from the Swiss manufacturer feels extremely comfortable in terrain. At the same time, thanks to innovative lighting and rack solutions, it also makes a safe impression in the city. It is also equipped with the new Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU). This combines a wear-free motor and a 12-speed gearbox in a compact package, making the classic derailleur gears a thing of the past. In addition, the Goroc TR:X relies on a quiet, low-maintenance belt drive, which should further enhance the riding experience, as well as a 700-watt-hour battery. The colors are an eye-catcher: both the Curcuma Gloss and the Gentian Blue Gloss attract envious glances when stopping at the ice cream parlor.

2. OPIUM L-SERIES
The most reliable e-bike for commuting and long tours - this is what Opium aspires to with its S-Series. This is an extremely stylish all-round e-bike, which with its fully integrated design is bound to be an eye-catcher on every tour. The Model L is now the more affordable successor with a low entry. The S-Pedelec from Switzerland is equipped with a 1400 watt-hour battery. According to Opium's range calculation, the e-bike can achieve an estimated 200 kilometers. The concept also includes modern Supernova M99 Mini Pro lighting and an optional GPS tracker.

3. Kettler Pinniato FS Speed
Maximum speed, maximum battery capacity and maximum comfort – the new Pinniato FS Speed from Kettler can do it all.

In addition, there is a FIT UltraCore battery with 960 watt-hours and a Mobie35 suspension fork from the damping specialist SR Suntour. The latter has an impressive 120 millimeters of travel, which means that the bike should handle well even on bumpy routes.
