The battery is one of the most important components on an electric bike. KOGA e-bikes are fitted with Li-ion battery packs with a capacity of between 350 and 500 watt-hours. As a rule of thumb, the greater the capacity in watt-hours, the greater is the range.

Koga offers various types of battery pack. You might opt for a removable battery pack which is built into the carrier rack, or a battery (either removable or fixed) built into the frame. This is a matter of taste, and might be influenced by factors including availability of charging facilities, range required, bike weight distribution considerations, and personal preference.

Koga uses brushless high torque motors. These silent motors provide powerful and smooth assistance under all conditions. Koga’s e-bikes are fitted with either front or rear wheel motors with torque ratings from 28 Nm to 40 Nm. With a KOGA e-bike you always have a tailwind!

The design of the bikes follows a unified vision: the designer sees each bike as a single unit, within which all of the various elements must be matched to each other, to result in an exclusive and stylish end product, perfect down to the finest detail. The worth of this approach has been validated by the numerous design awards won by Koga. Recent honours include the Eurobike Gold Award 2011, Bike of the Year 2012 vote-winner, the iF Product Design Gold Award 2012 and the Red Dot Design Award 2012.

Surprisingly simple: the pedal assistance starts working just as soon as you start to pedal. The motor is built into the wheel, and it operates smoothly and silently up to the maximum legally permitted speed of 25 km/h. Higher speeds are possible, for example on downhills or with a tailwind, but not assisted via the drive system.

You can set the desired assistance level very easily using the controls alongside the hand-grips – your hands stay safely on the bars. ION models offer the following settings: Eco, Cruise, Tour, Sport and Power.

All KOGA E-bikes are fitted with a high resolution display with bright blue backlighting, on which all key information can be read clearly and precisely: speed, distance and battery charge. The removable display also functions as an immobiliser, making it an excellent theft prevention feature.

A safe ride

Alongside the Standard ride mode, which provides assistance up to a speed of 25 km/h, there is also the Comfort Cruise Control ride mode. This mode provides assistance up to a maximum of 20 km/h, for an even safer ride feel in heavy traffic.

Perfect grip

KOGA E-bikes are supplied with smart software for Intelligent Traction Control (ITC) to achieve perfect ‘grip’. This means you always have the bike under control. In addition, for models with V-brakes Koga employs Brake Power Control, which helps prevent the front wheel locking up under harsh braking.

Powerfull LED-lighting

The lighting system is also powered from the battery pack, and if required, it switches on automatically when it gets dark, and also, for example, when you ride through a tunnel. Many KOGA e-bikes are also fitted with a daytime running light function for excellent all-day visibility in traffic. Then at dusk, the brightness of the daytime running lights diminishes and a high power LED headlight takes over, providing a superb view of the road ahead. If the battery is empty, the motor works as a dynamo so that you will never be without lights as you ride.

The battery pack too has a two year warranty as standard, irrespective of the number of charge cycles. Koga advises that whenever possible, the bike be connected to the charger: the system is protected against overcharging.
