NEW 2027 Orbea CARPE 20 28mph Electric Hybrid Bike - Shimano CUES U4000

The 2027 Orbea Carpe 20 is a light, fast, full-power electric commuter built for everyday city miles. Built on Orbea's hydroformed aluminum Carpe frame with a full-carbon fork and powered by a Shimano EP600 motor with an integrated 420Wh battery, it pairs effortless assistance with a proven, easy-to-service drivetrain and integrated lighting.

Shimano Full-Power Assist

The Shimano EP600 drive unit delivers up to 85Nm of torque with smooth, quiet, natural-feeling assistance, flattening hills and keeping you fresh on every commute. The integrated 420Wh battery keeps the Carpe light and balanced, and as a Class 3 (28 mph) pedal-assist e-bike it keeps pace with city traffic.

Proven Shimano Gearing

The Carpe 20 runs a reliable Shimano CUES U4000 9-speed drivetrain with a wide-range cassette and a tough KMC eGlide chain - simple, durable, and easy to service, with the gear range to handle hills and headwinds.

Built for the Commute

A full-carbon fork takes the sting out of rough roads, while reflective Vittoria Randonneur tires and a fully integrated lighting system keep you seen day and night. An integrated kickstand, light-equipped seatpost and trailer compatibility round out a city bike that just works.

Available in three colorways - Nickel, Mars Red, and Diamond Black - in sizes S-XL.
