Schwalbe elektrifiziert von Second Ride

Description

Europe's fastest e-moped

60 KM/H

A genuine GDR classic, now electric. Thanks to its original road approval you may ride it at 60 km/h on a car licence. Every other e-moped and e-scooter is capped at 45 km/h.

Not an off-the-shelf moped, but a true classic. An original from GDR times, restored by hand and converted to electric. You ride a piece of history — quiet and petrol-free. Now with the new MID50 conversion generation.

1-year warranty on the vehicle and the electric drivetrain

What sets it apart from new light mopeds

60 km/h instead of 45 km/h

Thanks to a GDR special ruling

A genuine classic, not a faux-vintage look.

Metal, not plastic.

Holds its value

A restored classic doesn't lose value as fast as a new vehicle — at best it even gains.

App included, with remaining range and more functions.

Drivetrain and battery

5.5 hp (4 kW), around 50% more than the original combustion engine.

Recuperation: braking recharges the battery via the motor. That brings range back and spares the brakes.

Around 80 kg — light enough for many bike racks on a car or camper.

2 kWh per battery, around 55 km. With two batteries up to 110 km.

If a cell fails, we replace exactly that cell, not the whole battery.

Restored by hand

New: tank, centre cover, rims and wear parts.

Chassis, brakes and all functional systems are carefully overhauled and adjusted.

Many remaining parts are still GDR-original and may show patina. That's part of the character.

Delivery and warranty

The TÜV modification inspection is included. You only update the papers at your registration office.

Delivery time: around 2 months.

Shipping by forwarder to your door, or pick-up in Berlin.

1-year warranty on the vehicle and the electric drivetrain.

Charging

With the small charger your battery is full in around 6 hours, with the fast charger in around 2 hours.
