THE MACHINE

Kalkhoff City M — Built for Comfortable Urban Miles

A 28-inch Kalkhoff with an 8-speed hub, Bosch Active Line+ motor and a 500 Wh battery pairs modest power with practical features—coaster brake and puncture-protection tires—so city streets and light terrain feel steady and reliable.

THE TERRAIN

Extra Push for Normal Terrain

Designed for town riding and ‘normales Terrain,’ the City M gives 'extra Rückenwind'—predictable, wind-assisted support suited to urban routes rather than technical off-road trails.

THE OFFER

Local Rental Flexibility

Operated by BIKE FÜSSEN - Fahrradverleih, the City M is offered for comfortable rental use with options that can extend to multiple days—making it convenient for visitors who want to explore Füssen at an unhurried pace.
