For model year 2027, i:SY is phasing out its original ‘1.0’ platform in favour of a more angular 2.0 platform. The concept stays the same: compact, non-folding bikes that always roll on 20-inch wheels. The new frame integrates the seatpost clamp, which is theft-protected and allows quick saddle height changes.
The brand is also marking its twentieth anniversary with a blue-and-orange E5 20 Jahre Edition: Bosch CX motor, Purion 200 display, 540 Wh battery and suspension seatpost, at 24 kg and €4,999. The very first i:SY, two decades ago, had no motor and a steel frame.
Another newcomer, the N3.8 ZR Touring, pairs a Bosch Performance Line CX with an 800 Wh battery, a suspension fork and an Enviolo hub, for 26.8 kg. The models were shown at the ZEG Bike Show in Cologne.
