The Ekano 2 AL is a comprehensive evolution of the first Propain E-Bike. Here are the key innovations at a glance:
- PRO10 System: Fully transferred to an E-Bike for the first time – significantly lower center of gravity, improved kinematics
- 25% more battery capacity: Increased from 500 Wh to 626 Wh – with a lighter and more compact 21700 cell battery
- 20% more peak motor power: Shimano EP801 with 600 W instead of 520 W (EP8)
- New frame design: Completely redesigned with optimized weight distribution
- More suspension travel: 170 mm at the rear (instead of 160 mm), 180–190 mm at the front
- Brake Integration: Brake mount integrated into the rear triangle
- New cable routing: Redesigned cable routing directly over the main pivot points of the rear triangle
- New frame protection: TPR chainstay and seatstay protectors as seen on the Tyee 6
- Double-sealed frame bearings (Propain Dirt Shields) + stainless steel bearings
