A Cytronex electric bike looks and handles like the same bicycle without power assistance. The battery looks exactly like a water bottle, the hub motor is about the same size as a bicycle dynamo and there is no mess of cables and switches. Yet press the Boost button at the bottom of a hill and other cyclists will disappear into the background. Weighing as little as 12.9Kg for the Cytronex Powered Cannondale Super Six bike and having a hub motor with the power of an additional rider, Cytronex silently flattens hills and cruises through headwinds. A Cytronex electric bike is the ultimate commuter bicycle - the fastest electric bike on the road and also the lightest full size ebike. What's more Cytronex is a British design and is assembled in Winchester, UK. A Cytronex retro fit electric bike kit will be available later in 2010.

Get there safely

The lightest touch on the rear brake will stop Cytronex Power Assistance instantly. And because Cytronex electric bicycles are designed for personal transport day or night, every Cytronex water bottle battery has a high efficiency switching regulator which maintains optimum stable power to the ultra bright Busch & Muller LED bicycle lights. The handlebar light switch also powers the Cytronex computer lamp which illuminates your trip computer so you are never in the dark about your speed, distance, temperature or the time. No other electric bicycle offers these features.

The World’s lightest electric bike!

At an incredible 13.6Kg including the bottle battery, the Cytronex Powered Cannondale Capo is the world's lightest electric bicycle, after only the Cytronex Powered Cannondale Super Six. The light weight allows an excellent power to weight ratio and makes it the ideal fast commuter bicycle for use in towns and cities. There is only one button to think about and no gears so you can concentrate on the road whilst Cytronex senses your speed and provides power to match for fast acceleration and excellent range.
