2012 Viking Evolution 2 7sp Electric Assist Bike 26" Wheel

First established in Wolverhampton in 1908 the Viking brand has a history, rich in the tradition of top quality road bikes and throughout the century. Quality, style and durability have always been the hallmarks of Viking cycles.

Today’s Vikings embody those core qualities and look to widen the range to suit the ever increasing demands of changing lifestyles. For 2012 the range includes: Road, Trekking, Comfort, Tandems, Urban Sport and City Folders. No longer produced in Wolverhampton, each model now utilizes the technical developments of today’s manufacturing processes and lightweight tubing.

Building on the success of the original Evolution the Evolution 2 is now a unisex version and an excellent choice for those looking to commute with more ease as well as looking after the environment. At its heart is a 250 Watt motor and 5 mode controller giving the Evolution 2 an assisted range of 40 / 45km. Other features include a Dutch style lock, powerful "v" type brakes, 7 speed Shimano drive train, power only button (up to 6km / hr), mudguards and light set. The new handlebar control module is now back lit and displays information such as mode assist, current speed and mileage.
