To reveal the pedal assisted electric bike available to the Carabinieri is theItalian company FIVE (Fabbrica Italiana Veicoli Elettrici) which took care of its realization. The basis is that of the Train Ultra, top of the range model of the Italwin’s trekking series. It features an aluminum frame, a 75mm suspension front fork, wide tread tires, hydraulic disc brakes, a 10-speed gearbox and a second generation FIVE F90 mid-engine (250W and 90Nm).
The battery has a capacity of 630 Wh. A backlit multifunction LCD display is installed on the handlebar. The eBike is designed to be able to move on all types of terrain and has 5 levels of assistance. Given the intended use, the livery will be customized with the colors of the Carabinieri. It will be produced in the Bologna plant of the FIVE Group (of which Italwin has been a part since 2016), a completely autonomous complex from an energy point of view thanks to the use of a double photovoltaic system. Fabio Giatti, Chief Executive Officer of the FIVE Group, commented:
It is a source of great pride for us to have created this product in collaboration with the Arma dei Carabinieri, which chooses to focus on electric mobility through the provision of an ebike entirely produced in Italy. After a long and consolidated experience in the sector, this approach to doing business allows us today to enhance the connection with the precious presence of the Carabinieri in the territory: we are in fact certain that their capillarity and the particular application in forest protection activities of these green vehicles they can also contribute to spreading the culture of cycling and sustainability.
