What makes QiO unique?

1. Compact yet comfortable

With its 20" wheels, a QiO is smaller than a standard city bike, but its low frame and adjustable seatpost make it comfortable for riders between 1.55 m and 1.95 m tall. Your partner can use it without any adjustment.

2. Premium components

No compromises here. QiO uses :

• Bosch Performance Line (65 Nm torque)

• Gates belt (no chain to grease)

• Enviolo continuously variable transmission or Shimano Nexus

• Hydraulic disc brakes TRP C1.8

These are the same components found on bikes costing over €3,000.

3. German design and quality

Designed in Germany with a focus on durability and reliability. The aluminum frames are light but strong, and all parts are easy to replace during maintenance.

4. Maximum versatility

City? Yes. Work? Yes. Motorhome? Yes! Its compact size makes the QiO ideal for many uses without compromise.

FAQ

Are 20" wheels stable?
Yes - thanks to the wide tires (62 mm), stability is excellent, even on cobblestones.

How much does annual maintenance cost?
Around €50-75, compared with €100-150 for a chain-driven bike.

Can I take it on the train?
Yes, it's compact enough. Non-folding, but accepted as a classic bike (free of charge outside rush hours in the Netherlands, depending on the train in Belgium).

What to do if the belt breaks?
A Gates belt lasts over 30,000 km (5-10 years). Replacement: approx. 120 €, carried out by a specialist.

Is it suitable for long distances?
Yes, up to 70 km per trip. Beyond that, the compact geometry becomes less comfortable.

Cost of recharging?
Approx. €0.16 per full charge (545 Wh, at €0.30/kWh): i.e. ± €5 per month.

Difference between EINS P-E and P-5?
P-E: smooth Enviolo transmission, but a little heavier.
P-5: Shimano Nexus, lighter with defined gears. Both are ideal for city riding.

Can a child seat be installed?
Yes, the carrier can carry up to 25 kg. You just need to take into account the total weight for maneuverability.
