E-bike retailer Pure Electric has launched its first e-bike; a lightweight, affordable hybrid/city bike called the Pure Flux One. Priced at £999, the Pure Flux One is pitched as being a low maintenance, everyday bike and it seems to boast some pretty tidy features for the price.

There’s a Gates Carbon Drive, for one thing – a toothed belt that runs between wide sprockets in place of the usual chainring and rear sprocket. The Gates drive is a rust-free drive system and doesn’t need oiling. [2]

Figure 1 shows Pure Flux One will reset your expectations, recapturing the simple joy and fun of cycling without the fuss or price tag associated with over-complicated urban e-bike designs.

Designed around a low-wear, low-maintenance, oil- and rust-free Gates Carbon Drive, a powerful rear hub motor and a fast-charging bottle-style battery system, Flux One provides the easiest and most intuitive e-bike riding experience around. It weighs just 17.5kg, making it the lightest e-bike in its class and everyday riding more fun and easier than ever!

The powerful rear hub motor enables you to accelerate quickly and confidently off the line in a start-stop city environment and makes hills easy to pedal up. It features three easy-to-understand settings that deliver full power assistance up to 15, 20 or 25km/h, while the low-friction design means you can pedal completely naturally and easily even beyond the maximum assisted speed of 25km/h.

E-bikes are normally much heavier than non-electric bikes, but we’ve specially selected a bottle-style battery to minimise the trade-off between electric power and weight. It tips the scales at just 1.35kg, making it easy to carry away in a backpack to a convenient charge point, yet it features a large 252Wh capacity which, in normal, everyday conditions can deliver up to 40km of assisted range.
