Moustache Lundi 27.3 Midnight Blue 625WH 2026Moustache Lundi 27: A Fresh Start with the Bike That Started It All
In 2011, Moustache, a French e-bike manufacturer, introduced the Lundi 27, a model that quickly became synonymous with urban cycling. Its distinctive frame, low step-through design, and high-rise handlebars set it apart in the e-bike market. Fast forward fourteen years, and the Lundi 27 remains a cornerstone of Moustache’s lineup.
A Thorough Redesign for 2027
For the 2027 model year, Moustache has undertaken a comprehensive overhaul of the Lundi 27. While the iconic frame shape remains, the technical specifications have been significantly updated. The mid-drive motor has been replaced with a rear hub motor, the battery has been downsized and lightened, and the overall weight of the bike has been reduced by approximately 3.5 kilograms. Additionally, the entry-level price has been set at €2,399.
Embracing the Bosch Hub Line
A notable change in the 2027 Lundi 27 is the integration of the Bosch Hub Line, a compact rear hub motor delivering 45 Nm of torque and up to 400 watts of power. This shift from the previous Bosch mid-drive motors, which offered up to 75 Nm, marks a strategic move by Moustache. The rear hub motor provides a different weight distribution, contributing to a lighter and more agile riding experience. With a total weight of approximately 24 kilograms, the Lundi 27 remains a robust urban e-bike, yet the 3.5-kilogram weight reduction is noticeable during handling and maneuvering. The low step-through design continues to offer easy mounting and dismounting, accommodating riders ranging from 1.55 to 1.90 meters in height.
A Thoughtful Battery Choice
In a market where 500, 625, and 800 Wh batteries are becoming standard, Moustache has intentionally chosen a 360 Wh Bosch PowerTube for the Lundi 27. This decision aligns with the bike’s intended use for daily urban commuting. The 360 Wh battery weighs approximately 2.1 kilograms, making it easy to remove and charge separately. Moustache estimates a range of about 70 kilometers per charge, depending on factors such as rider weight, terrain, and weather conditions. Charging is efficient, with a full charge taking approximately two hours using the 4A charger, and a 50% charge achievable in under an hour. For those requiring extended range, the Bosch system can be supplemented with the PowerMore 250 range extender, increasing the total available energy to 610 Wh. This modular approach allows riders to carry only the necessary battery weight for daily use and add capacity when needed.
Simplified Riding Experience
Moustache offers the Lundi 27 in two distinct configurations, both priced at €2,399. The Chain version features a Shimano 9-speed derailleur, catering to riders who frequently encounter inclines or prefer manual gear selection. The Belt version, however, embraces the philosophy of straightforward daily commuting. It combines the Bosch rear hub motor with a belt drive and a single gear, eliminating the need for manual shifting. This setup is ideal for those new to e-bikes, as it minimizes maintenance and the need for technical knowledge. The belt drive requires less upkeep and eliminates the need for lubricating a traditional chain.
Additional Features and Accessories
The Lundi 27 can be further customized with various accessories, including a front carrier, child seat, additional battery, and a range of protective and safety features. A limited Launch Edition, limited to 270 numbered units, is also available. Priced at €2,899, this edition includes an expanded package featuring the SmartphoneGrip and ConnectModule.
A Return to Its Roots
With the 2027 Lundi 27, Moustache returns to its original vision: a recognizable urban e-bike that is accessible, comfortable, and easy to use. The updated model offers reduced weight, a more compact drive system, and a battery better suited for daily use. In a market where e-bikes are becoming increasingly powerful, heavier, and more technical, Moustache poses a simple question: how much bike do you really need to enjoy your daily ride?
The Lundi 27’s blend of classic design and modern updates makes it a compelling choice for urban commuters seeking reliability and ease of use.
