Nakamura E-Summit Lite bike details

The Nakamura E-Summit Lite is an electric mountain bike from the Summit line of Nakamura, a subsidiary of Intersport specializing in electric bicycles. It is now available for less than 1,100 euros, a significant drop from its previous price of 1,399.99 euros.

Key features of the E-Summit Lite

The E-Summit Lite includes a semi-rigid frame with a front suspension, a motor producing 42 Nm of torque, and a range of 60 km. It is designed for off-road or forest trails and has a closed aluminum frame that provides good stability.

Weight and suspension configuration

The E-Summit Lite is one of the lighter models in its category, weighing only 20.7 kg. It has a semi-rigid configuration with suspension only on the front, making it lighter but less comfortable on very rough terrain compared to fully suspended models.

Suspension and tire details

The bike has a front fork with a generous travel of 130 mm, which helps absorb shocks and provide a smoother ride, even on descents. It rolls on 27.5-inch wheels with 2.1-inch wide tires, suitable for varied terrain.

Performance and components

The motor, called Naka Hub One, produces 42 Nm of torque, allowing the bike to easily reach speeds up to 25 km/h. It includes four assistance modes and an 8-speed Shimano transmission with a rear derailleur and a front shifter.

Braking and battery

The bike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for effective stopping power. It has a 345 Wh battery, which provides a theoretical range of 60 km, though this can vary based on road conditions, weather, and the rider's weight.
