Moustache Bikes has unveiled the Dimanche 28 Urban, a sleek and sporty electric bike tailored for urban commuting. This French brand seamlessly blends minimalist aesthetics with modern features and a performance-oriented electric drive, offering a compelling mix of daily usability and riding enjoyment.
Design
The Dimanche 28 Urban exudes a sporty vibe with its clean frame lines, reminiscent of the Moustache Dimanche Gravel model. The mid-mounted Bosch Performance Line SX motor is subtly integrated into the bottom bracket area, allowing for a straight line continuation of the top tube. The meticulously welded aluminum frame, finished in a matte black “Stealth” look, gives the impression of a monolithic design. This uniform color scheme, complemented by integrated components like mudguards, a rear rack, and a suspension fork, maintains a tidy and cohesive appearance.
