We love the Advanced RECO Urban, so it came as little surprise that it blew the judges away at this year’s Eurobike event.
Eurobike is a major event on the e-bike calendar; it is the central platform for the bike and Ecomobility world.
As described on the website: ‘It plays a leading role in transforming the energy and transport sector, driving social change and setting new standards in the areas Sport, Leisure, Health and Mobility.’
Each year, a prestigious team of expert independent judges highlight the most exciting products that go above and beyond in their field.
In 2024, RECO Urban was recognised not only for its many sustainable properties, but also for its elegant design and comfortable ride.
Check out this summary from the judges:
‘The RECO Urban impresses with its innovative and sustainable frame manufacturing using injection moulding process. Made from 100% recyclable material, it combines 40% carbon fibre from the automotive industry with 60% of a high-quality plastic matrix. The sustainable concept is complemented by an appealing design featuring distinctive lines and seamless transitions.
‘The Bosch Performance SX motor ensures lightweight and comfortable riding, while the belt drive enables low-maintenance mobility. The RECO Urban is an elegantly designed bike that convinces with stability and stylish restraint, shaping the future of urban mobility sustainably.’
Here at Ribble Valley e-Bikes, we have three different versions of this versatile ebike:
-
The Urban compact LF (Lights and fenders)
-
The Urban compact LFC (Lights, fenders and rear rack)
This bike comes with a 400Wh integrated battery as standard, with the option to add an additional external 250Wh – complete with bag.
Quality is guaranteed
Advanced bikes, like the RECO Urban, are backed up by a 30-year frame warranty.
The brand also doubles the standard 2-year Bosch warranty on the drive system, taking it up to 4 years.
Super sustainability
The environmentally friendly RECO Urban is made from injection-moulded carbon composite material, and saves 68% CO2 emissions compared to a conventional aluminium frame.
And if that’s not enough?
The frame is also 100% recyclable at end of life.
You don’t need to take our word for it –
Read this review from expert Dan Trent:
‘At first glance the Advanced RECO Urban uses a relatively conventional ‘diamond’ shaped frame, albeit with chunky, squared off tubing into which a Bosch motor and battery have been neatly integrated. Look closer and you’ll realise it isn’t actually tubing at all, but a moulded one-piece composite structure with some neat design features like a flat crossbar with sculpted underside that then separates around the seat tube and around the rear wheel. It’s all very neat, the frame-mounted motor driving a hub gearing system via a maintenance free belt. So, no chain to maintain or leave oily stains on your clothes. Wiring, cables and hoses for the electric drive, gears and brakes are all tucked into the frame for a very clean look as well, the bike available in a stripped-back version for the real minimalists or, as tested here, with a full set of mudguards and a neat rear rack.’
