Moustache has introduced an updated Lundi 27 built around Bosch’s first hub-drive e-bike motor. The redesign marks a notable shift for both companies: Bosch is best known for mid-drive systems, while Moustache has used those units extensively across its range.
The new Bosch Hub Line weighs 2.3 kg and delivers up to 45 Nm of torque and 400 W of peak power. Moustache pairs it with a removable 360 Wh PowerTube battery weighing 2.1 kg. The brand estimates typical range at up to 70 km and says a full charge takes just under two hours. A 250 Wh PowerMore range extender is also compatible.
Using the more compact drive system has allowed Moustache to make the step-through Lundi 27 slimmer and 3.5 kg lighter than its predecessor. Claimed complete weights are 23.8 kg for the single-speed Gates belt version and 24.1 kg for the model equipped with a nine-speed Shimano Cues drivetrain. Both retain the practical equipment expected of an urban utility bike, including hydraulic disc brakes, mudguards, lights, a rear rack, an Abus frame lock and a suspension seatpost.
UK pricing is set at £2,299 for either standard drivetrain. A £2,699 Launch Edition adds a ten-speed Cues transmission, Bosch connectivity hardware, a smartphone mount and upgraded front lighting. The launch gives Bosch’s new hub platform an early production showcase in a well-established European commuter model.
