On September 12, 2023, we received an unexpected visit from the Inspectorate for the Environment and Transport (ILT). Fully as expected, the KOBRA Fatbike passed the test with flying colors, once again demonstrating its full compliance with Dutch laws and regulations for electric bikes. This makes the KOBRA V1.2 not only a great Fatbike with a sublime riding experience, but also a trusted choice for Dutch cyclists who value safety and compliance.
ILT-Tested and Conforming
The unexpected test by the ILT shows once again that the KOBRA V1.2 meets the requirements set for electric bicycles according to Dutch legislation. Indeed, the KOBRA is equipped with a 250w motor i.c.m. a maximum speed of 25km/h with pedal assistance and walk assist up to 6km/h. This means cyclists can enjoy the performance and comfort of the KOBRA V1.2, with the peace of mind that they are riding within legal limits.
Facelift and Technological Improvements
The KOBRA V1.2 has not only been ILT tested for its compliance, but also excels in design and technology. With a thorough facelift from its predecessor, the V1 Fatbike, the V1.2 offers an enhanced driving experience and comfort thanks to innovative technologies. Manual shifting is a thing of the past thanks to the new torque drive mechanism, which ensures effortless acceleration and a sublime driving feel. While the updated design, including improved taillight and waterproof saddle, adds aesthetic sophistication to the whole.
Safety and Conformity Combined
In addition to its smooth performance thanks to 5 different riding modes, the KOBRA V1.2 also focuses on safety. With hydraulic disc brakes, CST street-ready tires and advanced lighting systems, the Fatbike offers a smooth ride as well as optimal safety features to not only meet the requirements of Dutch legislation but also get you to your destination in a safe and responsible manner.
Powerful Drive and Long Range
The KOBRA V1.2 is powered by a powerful 250w electric motor, which provides a unique and smooth riding experience. This motor complies with EU and Dutch regulations, which the ILT test also confirmed. Thanks to the impressive Li-ion battery with a capacity of 768Wh, the Fatbike offers a range of up to 140km in ECO mode, allowing long rides without worry.
Optimal Driving Comfort and Functionality
In addition to its technical specifications and regulatory compliance, the KOBRA V1.2 also offers optimal ride comfort and functionality. With adjustable suspension, a spacious saddle with the iconic HoneyComb pattern and fold-out footrests, the Fatbike is suitable not only for individual use, but also for comfortable transportation of two people.
Choose For Conformance and Performance with KOBRA V1.2
In short, the KOBRA V1.2 is not only a top quality Fatbike but also a safe and legally compliant choice for Dutch cyclists, which the ILT test once again proved. With its advanced technologies and impressive performance, the KOBRA V1.2 is not only approved for the bike trails but also the ideal companion for adventurous rides within the Dutch borders.
