    LEVA EU member Santos has introduced a new version of its LowStep model, a custom-built comfortable e-bike that’s equipped with a powerful Bosch motor and a durable Rohloff gear hub.

    Designed as an intuitive and stable ride that can transport luggage, this LowStep e-bike is equipped to deliver outstanding riding experiences in the city and through nature. Like Santos’ first LowStep model, its step-through frame enables easy mounting and dismounting.

    LowStep highlights

    Santos offers Bosch-powered e-bikes across a wide range of frame variants, giving riders the option to test and choose between low, mixed, or high entry frames. This new version of LowStep includes a large internal 750 Wh Bosch battery that’s integrated into the frame, and is removed from the side of the tube, allowing for water bottles and other accessories to be attached on top of the tube.

    Its powerful Bosch mid-motor brings smooth pedalling and excellent traction, especially when the rider pedals at low speeds uphill. The LowStep’s Rohloff hub is integrated into the rear wheel and can be combined with either a Santos carbon belt drive for low maintenance durability, or with the Bosch mid-motor for smoother electric shifting.

    Riders of this model can also benefit from using Bosch’s extensive service network as well as the advanced Bosch app.

    More information about Santos’ latest LowStep e-bike can be accessed on its website.

    Comments Off on Santos rider Dirk Huyghe completes The Sun Trip 11.400km solar rally

    Santos Rider Dirk Huyghe and his Travelmaster 3+ did it again! They successfully completed this year’s edition of The Sun Trip, an international rally for solar bikes. An impressive 11.400 km, through more than 20 countries, with an average speed of almost 160 km a day.

    The organizers crowned Dirk the undisputed king as he is the only one who not only competed but also completed all four editions. In 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2021. This time he came in 6th, in 72 days and 1 hour.
    There were 37 participants at the start in Brussels. However, only 10 made it to the finish. The others succumbed to physical and technical problems. Dirk called in at all 5 checkpoints: Riga in Latvia, Constanta in Romania, the Stelvio Pass (2757 m.) in Italy, the Pico Veleta (3398 m) in Spain and Porto in Portugal before arriving at the finish in Lyon.

    Dirk didn’t just put himself to the test but also his Santos. Many thanks for doing it so successfully, Dirk. Let’s go for the 5th edition?
