LAUNCHING THE NEW VERSION OF THE DOUBLE SUSPENSION ELECTRIC TANDEM
We present the first double battery GURUGÚ 🏔️⚡⚡
22/09/2023
Last 2021 we debuted as one of the first, if not the first brand in the world, to build and market a double suspension electric tandem. Seeing the great success it had, thanks to taking the mountain tandem experience to another level, it was clear to us that we have an extraordinary bicycle in our hands.
That is why we have dedicated the last two years to improving every aspect of this product, to offer a new version, renewed and optimized down to the last detail. In fact, last September we presented the innovative frame and primary drive system at Sea Otter Europe 2023 and it was a huge success!
Take a look at this report that MTBPRO magazine did for us, where we show and compare our old and new version of the double suspension electric tandem:
What improvements have we made compared to our previous versions?
Improvement in finishes: Thinking both about optimizing the manufacturing process and improving the aesthetics and operation of the tandem. We have improved and simplified the machining, reduced the number of welds in the battery boxes and simplified the suspension system. Furthermore, we have already painted the new Campmajó lettering and we love how it looks!
Better suspension system: We have redesigned the entire suspension system. Now the connecting rods are larger, which makes the entire system more robust. In addition, we have integrated a new system in which the bearings are integrated into the rotation axis. This system improves their aesthetics and makes them require much less maintenance.
New battery boxes: With the main goal of being able to mount removable batteries, we have made much simpler and lighter battery boxes adapted to mount 630Wh OLI batteries. Now you can remove the battery with a single “click” and charge it wherever you want!
Latest generation drive unit: Our new model already has the new OLI Edge-SH motor integrated. A motor with 250W of power with 90 Nm of torque. One of the best options on the market to attend your outings without worries.
For normal tandem use, a single 630wh battery is more than enough. Still, for the most adventurous riders, we wanted to offer a tandem that was capable of long-distance trips (more than 120km) and that is why we offer the option of mounting a frame with two batteries, the GURUGU X2. As you can see in the example in the photographs, the two batteries are removable and interchangeable, the one closest to the engine is the one that is operational, once finished, it can be exchanged with the spare one that goes to the front diagonal tube.
Advantages of the frame with double battery
- More autonomy. It allows you to make outings twice as long compared to a normal electric tandem.
- More piece of mind. Having so much autonomy, it allows you to go out more calmly, without worrying about time or distance.
- Easy to carry. Having the spare battery integrated into the frame makes transporting it very comfortable and does not cause any inconvenience. However, there are those who prefer to carry the second battery in their backpack or pack carrier and keep the frame with a single battery.
- Easy and quick switch. As they are removable and interchangeable batteries, replacing one with another is very simple.
Disadvantages of the double battery frame:
- Higher weight. By carrying a second battery, the weight of the tandem increases by just over 3kg taking into account the battery as the second battery box integrated into the frame.
- Higher price. A box with two batteries is more expensive in itself. In addition, the price of the second battery is added.
