Your Ride, Your Way

Carpe has a suite of accessories and options to adapt it perfectly to whatever your ride demands.

Agility, On and Off the Bike

Carpe delivers quick-start handling ready for the rhythms of daily life, on the street and off the bike. With a lightweight frame and Urban Active Geometry, it’s agile to ride and easy to move.

Designed To Handle

Carpe’s frame is built to feel at home in the city. Light and responsive, it combines balanced geometry with controlled flex to deliver confident, comfortable handling.

Twin Glide Flex Tech: Smooth Ride

Our patented Twin Glide solution soaks up bad vibrations for enhanced comfort. The lowered frame–seat tube junction shapes Carpe’s sporty silhouette while reducing standover height for easy mounting and dismounting. A longer exposed seat tube, reinforced by a double-tube structure, provides natural, controlled flex without compromising stability.

Frame Construction

The triple-butted alloy frame is shaped with precision and finished with smoothed welds. Each tube is optimized in thickness to save weight where possible while reinforcing strength where it matters most. The closed downtube system secures the battery and drops weight by eliminating unnecessary hardware. All of this contributes to the structural integrity of the Twin Glide system, ensuring it performs exactly as engineered.

Urban Active Geometry

Carpe is ready for anything with its urban active geometry. Natural, upright positioning provides comfort and full visibility of your surroundings.

Carbon Fork

Effortless Beyond the Ride

More than just light on the road, Carpe is easy to live with every day. Off the bike, it gives you the freedom to move through your day without effort or interruption.

Built for Tight Spots

Carpe goes with you anywhere, and sometimes that means squeezing into tight spaces. It incorporates discreet but impactful solutions.

Space-Saving Stem

Carpe features a proprietary cockpit with a revolutionary design. Unlock it, rotate the handlebar 90º, and instantly reduce overall width without compromising strength. Perfect for narrow parking, public transport, and urban spaces. This system is standard on Carpe 10 and optional on Carpe 20 and 25.

Foldable Pedals

Foldable pedals are out of the way in a flash, handy for crowded parking spots or tight corners. Foldable but by no means flimsy, you can trust in the strength and grip of these robust pedals. Available across the range, these pedals are standard on Carpe 10 and can be added to Carpe 20 and 25.

Efficient Power Output

By balancing the power output, we save energy where it is not needed- at higher cadences, constant speeds and while cruising. This lets us use a smaller battery and save weight.

Compact Batteries. Impressive Capacity.

Thanks to our background making quality ebikes, our batteries offer one of the highest energy densities of the market. That means less weight, less volume and more range.

Serious Range

The 420 Wh gives more than enough range for long rides through the city. Combined with Carpe's low weight, the battery takes you even further than other bikes in its class.

City-Ready Mudguards

Mudguards are a must-have to ensure protection from unavoidable puddle splashes and grit and grime. Carpe's are firm and durable enough to withstand city life. They are just the right length: short enough in the rear so they don't touch the floor when lifting or storing vertically, long enough in front to protect you from splatter.

Sturdy, Adjustable Kickstand

Built to stand up to anything, the kickstand adjusts at the push of a button: extend it for heavy loads or shorten it when you’re carrying less. On the move, improved springs prevent rattling for a quiet ride.
