Video & Pictures of the Energie Cycles 2.6td

The 2.6td is ready to roll!

The 2.6td has a unique looking angular 6061 aluminum box frame.  It is an interesting frame design that simply connects the front wheel area to the rear wheel while tying in the cranks and seat.

There is some internal cable routing to keep the look of the bike clean.

The rear part of the rectangular box frame splits to accommodate the rear wheel.

A Bafang (8FUN) mid drive motor system provides 500 watts of power through the 7 speed Shimano drivetrain for cruising up to 20 mph and climbing steep hills.

Here is another side view of the Bafang mid drive motor that is relatively small and is located just in front of the cranks.  The motor is fairly quiet.

A large 36V 16ah lithium (LiCoMn) battery is located just behind the seat tube area of the frame.

The charging port is on the left side along with a USB charging port (for charging smartphones, etc.) that is on the top of the battery.  The battery can be removed with the handle that folds up.

There is a red tail light that turns on when the bike is on.

This is the “ignition” key to turn the bike on/off and to lock the battery in the bike.

This is my iPhone charging cable attached to the USB port on the battery.

The 2.6td also comes with an alarm system that can be turned on/off with this wireless FOB key.  And the alarm is very loud!

This is the charger that can charge the battery on or off the bike.  It plugs into any normal wall outlet.   The charger has a fast charging mode that can charge the battery in 2.5 hours.

The large Bafang display is located in the center of the handlebars and provides a lot of information like: battery level, assist level (1-3), speed, trip distance, total distance, time, etc.  The Bafang has a few customization options like more pedal assist levels, max speed, etc.

On the left side of the handlebars is the front Tektro Dorado hydraulic disc brake lever and the Bafang control pad with on/off button and pedal assist adjustment.

Here is the front side left handlebar area.

On the ride side of the handlebar is the Shimano 7 speed shifter, the rear Tektro Dorado hydraulic disc brake lever and the thumb throttle.

The front of the ride handlebar area.

The 7 speed Shimano rear derailleur.

The Tektro Dorado hydraulic disc brakes provide substantial stopping power and they have a solid feel.

Here’s a closer look at the Continental E Contact tires.

The SR Suntour suspension fork takes the edge off of rough roads.

Speaking of rough roads, the suspension seatpost and wide seat make for a comfortable ride.
