Velo de Ville AES All Round Series In-Depth Video Review and Ride Test:

VELO DE VILLE all-rounders are convincing in everyday life, on the long tour on vacation or on your evening bike ride after work. Optimally prepared for touring on wide tyres. The AES 900 comes with the powerful EP8 drivetrain from Shimano and an optional high capacity 630 Wh battery.

The AES 900 offers more power thanks to the EP8 motor from Shimano. With its wide tyres and moderate trekking seat position, it conveys pure riding pleasure. It includes the Enviolo TR - a stepless system that takes cycling to a new level. With the twist grip, the cadence can be continuously adjusted, both while you are stopped, and while pedalling to help you find the perfect "gear".  

No matter what you want to explore, our Allround series e-bikes are perfectly equipped for it. The high-quality AES 900 masters reliably tours in the city as well as excursions on dirt or gravel roads.

The moderate seating position is achieved by an angle-adjustable stem in combination with ergonomic trekking handlebars. Long distances can be covered comfortably, even with a lot of luggage, thanks to the rack with Racktime rail.

Enviolo CVT Gearing:

The Enviolo CVT gear hub require much lower maintenance and allow you to shift while stopped.  Unlike a conventional drive train, if you don't have the opportunity to downshift before you stop, you can still shift down to an easier gear to make starting easier.  You don't have to worry about your chain falling off, or your shifting going out of adjustment.

With a gear hub the chain can be completely enclosed by a chain glider so you don't have to worry about cleaning or oiling your chain.  The chain will last much longer, so there is a much lower cost of ownership, as the gear hubs generally don't need to be replaced like a conventional gearing system.

Detailed specifications of each component:

Motor, Battery & Display

Shimano EP8: with 85Nm of torque, Shimano's latest motor offers plenty of power for off-road use and steep climbs.  The drive unit is compact, very light and quiet.

The Sigma EOX View 1300 is a feature rich, removeable display that connects to your bike wirelessly.  In addition to the standard information such as trip distance, range, and battery life it adds additional information not normally found with the Shimano STEPS system such as the ambient temperature and can even show directions. 

Easily connect your phone via the EOX App and you can even display turn by turn directions on your bike display!  The EOX® app offers analysis options as well as the possibility for customization. The app can be used to specify which riding data is displayed on the EOX® VIEW products. To share trips anytime, anywhere, numerous interfaces to social media channels are available.

SCHWALBE SUPER MOTO 62-584

SHIMANO DISC BRAKES MT200

This disc brake impresses with solid workmanship and high-quality materials. It benefits from the technical expertise of Shimano. The One-Way-Bleeding bleeding system allows easy maintenance, the grip width of 75 mm is also suitable for smaller hands. Its versatile design suits the numerous bike types and is always a good and inexpensive alternative.

B&M LUMOTEC MYC 50 LUX

In its compact format, the MYC headlight provides good illumination of the road; with a luminosity of 50 lux, it illuminates the near field area in front of the bike evenly and brightly. An additional plus point: the light strips on the side make you and your bike clearly visible in traffic.

BUSCH & MÜLLER TOPLIGHT LINE BRAKE PLUS

More safety and better visibility in road traffic: The Busch & Müller Toplight Line Brex uses a gyroscope sensor to determine the braking process and displays this brightly to the rear.

ERGOTEC SP-10.0

The spring of the SP-10.0 seat post can be exchanged to adjust the riding comfort. It offers enough travel to compensate for unevenness.

BY.SCHULZ G.2 ST PARALLEL SPRING-LOADED

The by.schulz suspension G.2 ST  scores points in riding comfort thanks to the the proven parallelogram spring mechanism - and that with only 100 mm setup height and 30 mm spring travel. It is equipped with a replaceable spring. Different spring stiffnesses levels allow the G.2 ST to support body weight from 45 to 150 kg.  

SELLE ROYAL LOIRE CITY GEL

A softly padded city saddle with an ergonomic shape. It is perfect for comfortable, upright riding positions.

SELLE ROYAL VIAGGIO XXL

The Viaggio XXL is perfect for our Happy Size 160 package. It is particularly suitable for tall, heavy riders and offers a wide, comfortable seat.

ERGOTEC OCTOPUS 50 AHEAD

The Octopus is generally more upright due to the increase in height. The angle adjustment makes it very variable and ensures a moderate to upright sitting position. 

 

Trekking Town

The Trekking Town handlebar offers very good all-round properties, and its ergonomic bend and slight rise make it an ideal fit for trekking and touring bikes that can also be used for everyday use.

 

VDV TOUR PRO, RACKTIME READY

The further development of the Tour luggage rack comes with a special attachment below the wheel guard to achieve an even more elegant design. The side rails and the Racktime-ready system are of course still on board.
