Attention to Detail and Quality in full

Pleasant and trustworthy

The Pilen EL1 is our first electric bike and, in the usual manner we have designed an electric bike that is different from others on the market since it is both enjoyable, balanced and trustworthy to drive. The EL1 has its own very personal Swedish functional style and comfortable upright riding position. The bike has extra low instep that fits everyone without compromising stability and driving experience.

The electric bike as a means of transportation is growing in popularity when you want to commute, bike shopping and avoid going by car or bus. The life as a cyclist becomes more pleasurable with electric assistance in headwind, uphill and you managing to avoid breaking a sweat. The electric bike has also become the favorite among people whose fitness level is subpar and for exploration touring. Picking up the children at kindergarten will be a pure pleasure. And it always feels good to care for nature and not contribute to pollution and noise.

The EL1 is equipped with effective hydraulic disc brake front and has a coaster brake rear. The front hub has a 15 mm through-axle for extra safety. Good brakes are extra important for an electric bike because your average speed will be higher. Also if you drive in hilly terrain and with heavy loads, effective brakes are mandatory. The Pilen EL1 is a faithful friend that you can trust. Pilen EL1 8+ is for extra security fitted with hydraulic disc brakes both front and rear plus a rear coaster brake.

Solid construction

The Pilen EL1 is generous with driving pleasure, security and carefree ownership thanks to the thoughtful design and selection of premium components. We chose to build the frame in 6061 T6 extra strong aluminum alloy and combine it with the an exclusive electric drive solution. The battery is fitted to the frame to create a harmonious balance for the whole vehicle when ridden: the balance of the bike when you are sitting on the saddle. The center of mass is placed in the center and as low as possible.

Thus the EL1 feels both exciting, fun and safe. Compare the EL1 to an electric bicycle with the battery on the carrier and the electric motor in the hub and feel the difference. Moreover, this difference is felt even stronger when you load the bike with luggare. The balance of the bicycle is not just a matter of driving, but indeed a security issue. A balanced bicycle is easier to brake to a stop and is less complicated to handle when you turn and brake – especially when you have a heavy load.

The frame is built and TIG welded with a light and strong alloy of aluminum, magnesium and silicon called 6061 T6 (where T6 is the temper grade). After welding, the alloy has been adversely affected by the difference between the heat of welded joints and surrounding cold metal and to restore the good material properties of the T6 temper, the frame is heat treated at 500 degrees and then cooled. Then the crystals are harmonized throughout the frame and the material recovers its desired temper grade T6.

Mid-drive electric motor

The Pilen EL1 excels in delivering riding pleasure, safety, and worry-free ownership, thanks to its well-thought-out design and the most suitable and user-friendly electric motor solution: a mid-drive motor from Japan’s Shimano. The EL1 is powered by the 60 Nm Shimano E-6100 electric motor, mounted centrally in the crankset. A mid-drive motor, as opposed to a front or rear hub motor, is by far the best placement for motor assistance on an e-bike, offering several advantages:

The rider can use the bike’s gears to maintain a consistent pedaling rate, known as cadence, regardless of whether going fast downhill or slowly uphill. A mid-drive motor similarly utilizes the bike’s existing gears when transferring power to the crank arms and pedals. This allows the motor to operate more efficiently at a favorable RPM for the motor, regardless of the bike’s speed.
The mid-drive motor is mounted at the bike’s bottom bracket, placing the weight low and centrally. This results in better balance and an improved riding experience.
Since the mid-drive motor can operate more efficiently by utilizing the bike’s gears, it can extend battery life, allowing for longer rides between charges.

You can choose from three assistance modes: High, Normal, and Eco. The assistance level is adjusted using the control on your right thumb. The motor works in sync with your pedalling, smoothly transferring power. You change gears as usual to achieve the right resistance. Compared to a hub motor, a mid-drive motor like the E-6100 is much stronger at all speeds (up to 25 km/h) and is also safer because the motor instantly detects when you stop pedalling and ceases power delivery. The integrated crankset in the E-6100 is equipped with high-quality bearings, making it feel wonderfully easy to pedal – even when you turn off the motor and ride *au naturel*. The bike is equipped with the Shimano BT-6010, a robust battery that lasts between 90 and 180 km, depending on the assistance mode, rider’s weight, and any load. The battery is centrally mounted in the frame to keep the bike well-balanced. It is easy to remove, so you don’t have to leave it outside. The battery also has a lock to prevent it from being removed.

A positive trait we often hear from bike dealers and customers who test ride the EL1 is that, unlike many other electric bikes, it feels comfortable to ride even with the motor switched off. This demonstrates that Pilen builds with sound principles and quality components, and that Shimano lives up to its reputation with a crankset featuring high-quality bearings.

Gear Hub and Brake Combinations

The Pilen EL1 is available in seven different combinations of braking systems and three different rear hubs.
Hydraulic disc brakes on the front and a fork with thru-axle are standard on all EL1 models.
EL1 7 features the reliable Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub with a coaster brake.
EL1 8 comes with the Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub, available with or without a coaster brake and can be equipped with a rear disc brake.
EL1 Di2 8 features the Shimano Nexus 8 Di2 hub with electronically controlled shifting, operated by button controls on the handlebar. The Di2 shifting mechanism is powered by the e-bike’s battery. The EL1 Di2 8 can be equipped with a rear disc brake.

Colour options for Pilen bikes

Custom Colours, Your Choice – We Build!

From May to August 2024, we are simplifying and improving the process for painting the bike components. The option for single colour will be removed as more choices become available.

We have invested a lot of time and effort into programming the bicycle configurator for Pilen Lyx, Pilen GT, and Pilen EL1, where you can design your bike. The bicycle configurator has been running since 10th June, and we continue to fine-tune its functionality. In the configurator, you can make the following selections and see how the bike will look. You can choose:

All frame colours.
All colours for mudguards plus Matte Polished Stainless Steel.
All colours for chain guards plus Matte Polished Stainless Steel.
All colours for the rear carrier or no carrier (Lyx).
Various colours for faux leather saddles and various colours for leather saddles.
Black or silver-coloured rims.
Tyres in black, brown, or cream.
Handles in black or cork.
Bells from Crane Bells Japan.
Baskets and front carriers.

In addition to the choices above, the bicycle configurator includes a few nifty features. When you’re satisfied and feel that you’ve created a truly beautiful Pilen bike:

You can download an image of your design. The image is saved to your computer or mobile phone. You can download as many design images as you like.
You can copy a web link that, when opened in a browser, directs to the configurator and recreates the selections you made. You can create as many web links as you like.

For Pilen Lyx

You choose the colour of the frame and fork, the colour of the mudguards, the colour of the rear carrier, and the colour of the chain guard. If you want the same colour for all parts, previously called single colour, you can have that. If you want the frame and fork in one colour, the mudguards in a second colour, the rear carrier in a third colour, and the chain guard in a fourth colour, you can have that too. Black mudguards, a black rear carrier, and a black chain guard are still available at no extra cost. The custom choices for mudguards, rear carriers, and chain guards have an additional cost of 150 SEK per choice, totaling 450 SEK if you want to customize the appearance of all three. You choose – we build.

For Pilen GT and Pilen GTV

The colour options for the Pilen GT and GTV include painting the frame and fork plus the mudguards. The chain guard is rotating and is not painted. The wire-model rear carrier is also not painted. The mudguards on the Pilen GT are typically matte polished raw steel. Choosing mudguards in a different colour from the frame gives you the option to have two colours on your bike. Painted mudguards cost 200 SEK.

The Pilen GT comes standard with a rotating chain guard mounted on the front chainring. You can choose to have the more protective chain guard from the Pilen Lyx installed—in either a colour of your choice or in matte polished stainless steel—for an additional 300 SEK. The wire-model rear carrier is never painted. You can opt to remove the rear carrier if, for example, you plan to install a child seat or prefer a more minimalist, sporty look for the bike. You choose – we build.

Difference Between GT and GTV

Please note that the Pilen GTV does not have a bicycle configurator. This is because the Pilen GT is essentially identical to the Pilen GTV, with the difference being that the GTV has 11 gears and hydraulic disc brakes.

For Pilen EL1

The colour options for the Pilen EL1 include painting the frame and fork, mudguards, and chain guard. The rear carrier is integrated with the frame and shares the frame’s colour. The standard colour for the mudguards and chain guard on the Pilen EL1 is Black RAL 9005. Choosing mudguards and a chain guard in a different colour from the frame gives you the option to have three colours on your bike. Mudguards in a different colour from Black RAL 9005 cost 200 SEK. A chain guard in a different colour from Black RAL 9005 also costs 200 SEK.

"And you can have it your way..."

The meaning of Pilen’s slogan “You can have it your way” applies to options and paintwork. Read about the colours available for the bikes. As far as is practically, logistically, and cost-effectively possible, we want to offer the creation of unique bikes.

Pilen’s models and gents/ladies come in various Standard Colours based on our forecast of expected demand for a model with that specific colour. Painting of frames, forks, and parts is done on a rolling schedule where a standard colour is painted in one day at East Coast Industrial Coatings in Västervik.

The table further down the page shows which Standard Colours the models are available in with a normal delivery time of 1-2 weeks, i.e. bikes we can build with painted parts we have in stock. It also shows which colours are Plus Colours with longer delivery times (but no additional cost).

Exclusive Colour: profile colour or custom chosen colour can be quoted

Pilen can also paint one or more bikes in any desired colour – we call this Exclusive Colour – if we receive the name and RAL colour of the paint. This is done, for example, when Pilen produces Company Bikes where the customer wants their own profile colour. Painting in Exclusive Colours incurs an additional cost which is quoted to the customer upon request – after we have checked the availability of the colour with East Coast Industrial Coatings in Västervik, Sweden, and possibly with Axalta. The cost is always quoted and includes a fixed setup cost and a cost per bike. Note: the customer must specify the RAL colour for the Exclusive Colour. An RGB code or web colour code is not sufficient.

Customise a Pilen EL1 Electric Bike

Baskets and carriers for Pilen EL1

Pilen EL1 can be equipped with optional front baskets or carriers. The Pilen baskets “Pilen Black” and “Småland” are compatible with the EL1. The front carriers AtranVelo Hybrid and AtranVelo Cargo Lite also fit the EL1. Both are AVS-compatible, allowing all of AtranVelo’s AVS accessories to be mounted. Pilen’s selection of baskets and crates available for factory installation on the EL1 includes the Epic Smart AVS basket, Bring M AVS basket, Picnic AVS baskets (in grey and brown), and the Bakery Crate AVS. In addition, AtranVelo’s front carriers – Cargo Jumbo and Cargo Jumbo Basket – can be mounted on the EL1 (note: these are not AVS-compatible). The exclusive Brooks Hoxton basket is mounted directly on the handlebar stem and fits the EL1. The elegant Nitto M-18 front carrier is also compatible with Pilen EL1.

Saddles for Pilen bicycles

A bicycle saddle is important. Different cyclists prioritise different features differently. Many prefer a wider saddle when riding in an upright, relaxed position. For others, a narrower saddle is always preferable. The rider’s weight and the width of the sit bones also affect which saddle type feels comfortable.

Saddles from Brooks England and Selle Montegrappa Italy

Brooks England has been handcrafting saddles for over 100 years and they are the Rolls-Royce of saddles. At first, the saddle might feel a bit firm, but the leather is smooth and glossy, so there is little risk of chafing. Brooks saddles become divinely comfortable once they are broken in. They require some care, such as regular leather treatment, and are not maintenance-free. Ultimately, however, it is the beauty of Brooks saddles that truly makes the heart beat faster: the shimmering leather and the joy of timeless design.

Hur kommer cykeln att se ut?

För att underlätta för kreativa cykelälskare har vi en designmodul där du kan skräddarsy en EL1 utseende och ge din cykel en personlig prägel.

Vad kommer min cykel kosta?

Prislistor för cyklar och tillval finns här ovan på sidan. För att tilltala din kreativa och ekonomiska sida har vi byggt prismodulen Prisberäkningsverkstad där du kan se och konfigurera din egen speciella cykel och sedan skicka prisberäkningen till dig själv eller en återförsäljare av Pilen. Obs. Där visas med fina bilder de olika tillvalen men icke det slutgiltiga utseendet för hela cykelkompositionen. Utseendet kan du se i Pilens nya designmoduler.
