O2feel &

SHIMANO

Shimano has developed progressive electric assistance that allows for a natural pedalling feeling while staying faithful to classic bike riding.

A driving partner

in our success

As a long-standing partner of the Shimano brand and its central motorisation range, O2feel has committed long-term to the world leader in bike equipment, confident in its more than 100 years of expertise and its innovative capacity.

O2feel was able to incorporate this high tech motorisation into the design and quality philosophy we share with Shimano. Living better also means making the most of each moment and making your everyday life a series of simple pleasures, just like a ride on an O2feel.

We wanted a global partner, a bike equipment expert as we look to equip our bikes with the best innovation and technology on the market. Shimano shares our beliefs and our values: to develop family and tourist activities, encourage cycling, ride in comfort.

The beginning of

a long and fruitful

collaboration

Moteur Shimano sur un Vern bronze

A partnership that began in 2012 with our first top end model, the SWAN equipped with the Shimano STEPS E6000 first generation central motor. Innovative technology characterised by a lightweight, powerful motor integrated in the chainset.

We also equipped the Swan model with a long life battery, an automatic gear changing system (Di2) and a removable LCD screen. A real revolution at that time!

In 2017, O2feel developed its first range of electric mountain bikes under the brand KARMA bikes. An electric mountain bike equipped with the best technology on the market, a Shimano Steps E8000 motor for high performance, torque adapted to extreme riding and robustness to take on any challenge!

With the growing success of our models, the quality of the Shimano equipment proves itself every day. This is why, in 2019, an even more important partnership was entered into with the world leader in the sector.

The plan for this long-standing collaboration is to offer a new range equipped with a Shimano chainset motor, combined with batteries entirely created, developed, tested and designed by the O2feel e-bikes “LAB” in France.

The specific feature of these batteries?

They comply with the strict requirements specification enforced by the outfitter Shimano to achieve perfect communication between the battery and the motor. Our batteries are made from 21700 cells; cells originating from the automotive world offering ever larger capacity thanks to unique cell characteristics. Thus we develop remarkably long life batteries, capable of withstanding a higher number of recharges than standard batteries on the market.

European technology leader and with Shimano innovations on our bikes, we have been able to integrate this high tech motorisation in our bikes with a distinct design to achieve a sleek final product.

What is

motor

torque?

Torque power is measured in Newton-metres (Nm).

It’s the force of the motor.

The higher the motor torque, the easier your electric bike will climb hills.

The greater the elevation of your surroundings, the more force your motor should have. Conversely, if your elevation is similar to the flat country of northern France, a motor with less torque will be effective enough and use less of your battery.

The Q FACTOR

by Shimano

To keep it simple, it’s the distance between the cranks measured in parallel to the bottom bracket. On the central motor of electric bikes and electric mountain bikes, the Q Factor was previously bigger to house the motors. Systems such as SHIMANO STEPS now offer the same Q Factor as muscular mountain bikes. It stays true to the philosophy of natural pedalling.
