Smafo introduces third e-bike

The start-up offers the Smafo 3 for sale as well as on a subscription basis. The e-bike is available from 1,899 euros.

The Paderborn-based start-up Smafo presents its third e-bike. The price for the Smafo 3 is at least 1,899 euros. The bike can still be individually configured. With the battery, it is possible to ride about 150 kilometers battery-powered. In addition to the purchase, interested parties can rent the e-bike from 69 euros per month in a subscription. This includes the "all-round carefree package" including the new Smafo Connect app. The functions can be tested free of charge for a quarter of a year. Via the app, bike owners can, among other things, determine the location of the bike via GPS, manage a digital lock and view various statistics. In addition, the bike is fully secured. You can test ride the Smafo 3 in Paderborn. The start-up states the delivery time for the e-bike on its website as nine to ten weeks.

"Still this summer, we want to launch a rescue assistant," announced CEO Sven Schneider just the other day in the Startbase interview. "If a sensor in the module of the e-bike registers an accident, the app will send three push messages to the rider via our app. If he leaves all three unanswered, we'll send out an ambulance." Schneider and André Thiele founded Smafo in 2018, and together they want to offer a "people's e-bike" with their start-up.
