Frame
The structural parts of the Genava model, main frame, rear frame and front fork are made of carbon fiber, which offers a very good mechanic resistance and much higher lightness than aluminium bike structures.
The rear fork is joined to the main frame by means of an innovative system patented by the brand. A double suspension mechanism formed by an articulated arm and a highly effective hydraulic suspension to absorb the irregularities of the road.
Folding system
The Genava model's folding system is intuitive, easy and fast.
The folding points, where the fasten mechanisms and structure discontinuities are, are built with aluminum elements to guarantee the necessary solidity.
The folding system involves two steps. The first step involves rotating the front part of the frame 180° to position the front wheel parallel to the rear wheel. The second step involves folding the handlebar post and handlebars to sit alongside the wheels. To stabilise the bike when it's folded, it is necessary to lower the seat post until it touches the ground and becomes the third point of support.
A two-piece magnets device located on the axles of the front and rear wheels fix the folded position of the bike. It prevents the parts from moving while being manipulated or rolling on the pavements.
Battery
The Genava model is equipped with a 36V LG lithium battery with a 10,4Ah, optionally 14Ah, charge capacity, giving it a riding range of up to 100 km (according to the manufacturer). The battery fits neatly into the seat post, where the charging port and main power switch are also located. It can be easily removed, transported and charged anywhere without needing bike to be nearby.
The charging system features an innovative BMS, which prevents the battery from overcharging and overheating and regulates the release of energy for greater efficiency and longer use.
36V and 250W motor
The Q.ik Genava is a mid-drive model, mounted on the bottom bracket axle. This motor position is the most efficient and provides the best load distribution across the bicycle, offering greater stability and riding comfort. It has a power output of 36V and 250W, which is factory-limited to prevent the bicycle from exceeding 25 km/h. By regulation, when the bicycle reaches this speed, the motor must stop assisting pedaling. The motor’s power is more than enough to handle any demand, including climbing steep inclines.
A torque-type pedal pressure sensor manages motor assistance according to the selected level among five available settings.
It also features a clutch system that allows the bicycle to roll freely without resistance when riding without motor assistance.
Shimano160 mm hydraulic disc brakes
The Genava is equipped with 160 mm hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. They offer great braking power and guarantee to stop the bike within a few metres in case of emergency in all riding conditions. In addition, squeezing the brakes automatically disables the motor, facilitating a more immediate brake response..
Rear fork suspension
The connection between the rear frame and the main frame consists of a double lower and upper articulated fastening, and a air adjustable shock absorber. It is a highly effective mechanism that helps to absorb the movements and vibrations that the irregularities of the ground cause on the rear wheel, and that allows comfortly riding offroad.
Carbon belt drive
The Q.ik Genava features a carbon belt drive system and a single gear. This makes it an even lighter electric bike and eliminates maintenance tasks. It also prevents the mess of oils and lubricants that are necessary by traditional metal chain drive systems.
3 speed Shimano Nexus internal hub gear
The Q.ik Genava comes standard with the Shimano Nexus 3 internal hub gear. It is a highly reliable and precise gear system, very comfortable to use with the grip shifter and also well suited for urban bicycles. Its enclosed design minimizes maintenance and makes it more durable.
Color LCD multifunction display
The Genava is equipped with a backlit display that features clear, easy-to-read graphics. It displays the data needed to monitor all riding parameters. It indicates real-time speed, lap time, distance travelled, remaining battery, motor assistance level and provides access to other functions such as the headlights and settings menu. The display is also equipped with a USB port to charge other devices such as mobile phones, smart watches and tablets. For a safe management and not having to release the handlebar while handling the device, the display buttons are set close to the left grip.
