ABOUT THE ZEPPO
The Orb Zeppo is the only bike most people will ever need – it’s at home cruising through the mean streets, skipping past on country roads, nipping down your favourite towpath, or even darting along a gravel track.
The 6061 alloy frame provides a high-quality lightweight chassis, paired with disc brakes and 32mm tyres as standard. Shimano Nexus 8 hub gears and a Gates CDX Carbon belt drive keep maintenance to an absolute minimum.
BELT DRIVE
The Gates Carbon Belt Drivetrain means less time spent on maintenance and more time enjoying your new ride. You won’t have to worry about getting your work trousers greasy, or marking your pegs with the ubiquitous oily chainring – all you need to keep the belt drive running smooth as Tom Jones is a squirt of water every once in a while.
With most bike spares so hard to come by at the moment, the Gates belt drive will be your best friend. Average lifespans are around 30,000km, so you won’t have to worry about changing it for many years (if ever!).
GEARS AND BRAKES
This is really the business end of a bike, and you can be sure we’ve invested in quality.
Shifting is provided by a Shimano Nexus 8 hub, reliable, robust, and low maintenance.
Meanwhile, front and rear Tektro 275 hydraulic disc brakes will have you stopping on a sixpence in all weathers.
LIGHTS AND MUDGUARDS
Dark outside and tipping it down? No problem. The Zeppo v.8 has you covered.
Alloy mudguards keep you safe from road spray, with the colour-matched paint maintaining the bike’s aesthetics. And our Droid anti-theft lights mean you’re always ready to tackle the darkness. These be-seen lights are designed to be left on the bike and, with up to 40 hours of battery life, they’ll keep you visible ride after ride.
