HUSK-E adaptive bike

  • The HUSK-E adaptive bike combines flexibility, performance and comfort in a compact design. It is equipped with a 20'' wheel and can be operated on public roads in Germany without insurance or registration under the pedelec regulations. When cranking, the drive system provides support at the set assistance level up to 25 km/h. This means that even longer distances can be covered more easily and quickly.

    The HUSK-E revolutionizes the transport of handbikes: With the foldable bottom bracket support, the adaptive bike can be quickly and easily reduced in size, making it ideal for transport. 

    The HUSK-E adaptive bike is available in three model variants:

    HUSK-E Shimano: This powerful variant, with 85 Nm of torque, impresses with its versatile gear-changing and control options. In addition to mechanical and electronic gear systems, a convenient automatic gear system is also available – for a smart, perfectly tuned riding experience and exceptionally easy operation.

    HUSK-E Bafang: The high-performance version, with 110 or 130 Nm of torque, offers maximum assistance and extremely direct responsiveness. The start-up assistance via the throttle allows for effortless setting off without pedalling up to 6 km/h. Ideal for all users who appreciate noticeable relief right from the start and effortless handling. [Available to order from late 2026 | Order form to follow]

    HUSK-E mechanical: The manual version offers a sporty, active riding experience entirely without a motor. Ideal for anyone who wants to cycle actively, build up their endurance and get around under their own steam.

HUSK-E Shimano version

  • for versatile tours, challenging routes and varied terrain
  • powerful and dynamic assistance with 85 Nm of torque
  • choice of mechanical and electronic derailleurs and hub gears
  • convenient automatic gear-shifting (Di2) available
  • Customisable control options: operation via handlebar grip, button or chin control
  • Braking options: disc brake with brake lever or coaster disc brake

With 85 Nm of torque, the Shimano drive system offers dynamic and powerful assistance for versatile tours and challenging routes.

The HUSK-E Shimano is particularly suited to riders who, in addition to strong power, value maximum gear integration and customisable control options. A particular highlight is the optional automatic gear-shifting system: it handles gear changes completely automatically, ensuring a smooth, effortless riding experience.

Whether derailleur or hub gears, button or chin-operated controls – the HUSK-E Shimano can be adapted extremely flexibly to suit personal requirements. An integrated start-off assist also helps you get going without pedalling up to 4 km/h.

HUSK-E Bafang version

  • superb performance for challenging terrain, steep climbs and long rides
  • direct, responsive performance from the very first turn of the cranks
  • convenient start-up assistance via the throttle up to 6 km/h (starting off without pedalling)
  • can be combined with electronic derailleurs or hub gears
  • enhanced ease of use – ideal for Tetra options and reduced hand operation

With an impressive 110 or 130 Nm of torque, the Bafang drive system is the most powerful option for the HUSK-E. The immediate responsiveness and enormous thrust make this system the ideal choice for all riders who value maximum effort savings when setting off and throughout the entire ride.

A real highlight in terms of comfort is the start-up assistance via the throttle: it enables effortless setting off and precise manoeuvring without pedalling up to 6 km/h.

Fitted with electronic derailleur or hub gears, the HUSK-E Bafang is particularly smooth to control. The smooth-action buttons and specialised control options are ideal for those with reduced hand and finger function. The 696 Wh battery provides long-lasting power, enabling a reliable range of approximately 60 to 100 km.

HUSK-E mechanical version

  • for active biking on any terrain
  • for riders who do not require electric assistance and are physically fit enough
  • derailleur gears possible
  • disc brake with brake lever or coaster brake possible

The mechanical HUSK-E version is an impressive manual bike with an ergonomic design that provides optimum support for long rides. Ideal for anyone who wants to ride actively and improve their endurance.

Electronic derailleur gears with button or chin control operation or mechanical derailleur gears with Rapid Fire operation are available.

Braking can take place via a hydraulic disc brake system or a mechanical coaster brake with crank-free function.

Mechanical coaster brake

The HUSK-E adaptive bike is optionally available with a mechanical coaster brake, which is easy to operate. This option also gives the rider the option of freewheeling to the rear. The cranks can be decoupled and the bike can be easily reversed using the handrims - ideal for maneuvering in tight spaces.

Easy handling when coupling and uncoupling thanks to the parking stand

The parking stand makes coupling and uncoupling easier, as the bike is parked at the required adaptation height. The parking stand also allows the bike to be parked safely when uncoupled. The parking stand can be folded onto the product in one easy step while riding to save space.

Stable adaptation

Adaptation takes place via a central adapter or front adapter, which can be connected and disconnected in a few simple steps. When uncoupled, hardly any additional weight remains on the wheelchair and the wheelchair does not experience any functional restrictions (e.g. folding mechanism). The adapter can be used for all PRO ACTIV adaptive bikes, traction and attachment devices with the same wheel size: ONE adapter for MANY combinations.

Ideal for transport

The bottom bracket support can be folded down without tools using quick-release levers and locking bolts, resulting in a small pack size for transport.

The chain is guided in the bottom bracket support. This keeps the chain ‘tidy’ and prevents it from being damaged or soiling the car or other objects.

An optional pannier holder system is available for the HUSK-E adaptive bike. The panniers can be attached and removed in seconds without tools, making them particularly flexible to use.

Optimum adaptation to the rider's requirements

Different grip widths and crank lengths allow the HUSK-E adaptive bike to be perfectly customised to the user for a comfortable ride and optimum control. The angle of the bottom bracket support can be changed without tools using the quick-release lever (in two locking positions). The length of the bottom bracket support can be subsequently adjusted to adapt to changes in the rider's requirements. The adapter can also be adjusted in angle, height and length.

Long range thanks to large battery capacity & double battery holder

With ranges of up to 85 km and the option of a double battery holder to double the range, even long tours are no problem. With the changeover device, it is easy to switch between the two batteries using magnetic plugs. This is also possible without the full finger function.
