The Xroad comes equipped with practical and stylish accessories such as its new luggage rack and powerful lights front and rear. The new Xroad is as perfect for getting about day-to-day as it is for exploring further afield on the weekend.
FRAME DESIGN
With its triple cavity frame design Moustache haven’t needed to compromise on stiffness or weight unlike many other open frame designs flooding the bike industry. This design feat makes this bike perfect whether you’re looking to get off the beaten track, climb mountains or simply get some fresh air on the everyday commute.
Why did the team at Moustache labour over this frame design for three years? In order to have an ultra low-step frame, the top tube which provides most of the strength must be completely removed. Normally this will result in a frame with excessive flex giving wobbly handling. To add strength, budget bike manufacturers just add more metal so it weighs a ton!
The proof is in the ride. Ride the Moustache Xroad 2 Open and you will understand what makes the Moustache Xroad stand out from all other step-through eBikes, with perfect handling, superior comfort, and all this in a lightweight and smart eBike package you will love for many years.
NEW BOSCH GEN 4 SMART SYSTEM MOTOR AND BATTERY
The New Moustache Xroad 2 Open is powered by Bosch’s brand new Gen 4 Smart System Performance Line SPORT motor which assists up to 38kph, this is one of the very few eBikes available in NZ with this higher speed ‘SPORT’ variant. The 500wh PowerTube battery is seamlessly integrated into the frame while remaining easy to take on and off. The integrated charge port on the bike makes recharging a breeze.

INTEGRATED PARTS
The luggage rack with QL3 system means you can attach the Moustache by Ortlieb panniers in seconds, giving the Xroad even more versatility. Its wide platform also makes it compatible with a large range of child seats. The MIK integration allows for quick fitting of a wide range of Basil bags and accessories, with more brands coming soon. Exclusive tubular Moustache mud-guards, ultra solid and reliable, are perfectly centred over the wheel to keep you and your bike dry and clean in all conditions.
