Eurobike 2016: Moustache E-Tandem

September 18, 2016

We’ve a tandem show and tell thread on the forum right now, so this comes at just the right time. Behold the Moustache Samedi 27×2! We spotted it in passing at Eurobike, and were too curious to keep walking. Moustache are a relatively new French company that only makes e-bikes. The Samedi 27 X2 is a plus-tyred, well specced mountain tandem.

As well as 2.8 tyres and some very up to date kit, it also uses Bosch’s new dual battery system.

Note how the chains are all on the same side of the bike – probably because Bosch doesn’t make a tandem specific motor.

A bike powered by two riders is probably just going to have a battery that lasts quite a while in most places. In others, where they don’t have to be regulated, it’s a fearsome prospect.

It took us a shamefully large number of seconds to work out that this is in fact the bracket for a computer, and not just a weird looking computer.

The Samedi 27 X2 isn’t on the Moustache website yet, but they have a full range of e-mountain bikes if you’re curious. They were also on trend for Eurobike this year with their own kids bikes, be sure to check out the Mecredi 12 balance bike, which doesn’t have a Lefty, it has a Righty!

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
