About Fujita Urban 전기 자전거

후지타 어반(Fujita Urban)은 도심에서의 일상적인 주행을 위해 디자인된 전기 자전거이다. 프레임은 알루미늄 6061로 제작되어 자전거를 가볍게 유지하며 교통 상황에서도 다루기 쉽다. 리튬 배터리는 중앙 튜브 내부에 완전히 통합되어 있어 자전거가 전통적인 모델처럼 보이며 배터리는 도난으로부터 더욱 안전하게 보호된다. 페달 어시스트가 라이더를 보조하고, 일반적인 체인 대신 벨트 드라이브를 적용해 유지 관리 부담과 소음을 줄였다. 큰 휠과 직선적인 프레임이 형태를 완성한다. 충전에는 몇 시간이 소요된다.
