For the household that wants to replace a second car with an e-bike that can do it all: weekday commuting, bulky shopping, Sunday rides to the sea. It will suit anyone who'd rather have one versatile bike than two specialist ones.
CUES Linkglide and 600 Wh, the long-distance duo. The Inbound+ 2 R10 is the top of the family. Its PowerTube battery goes up to 600 Wh and its Shimano CUES drivetrain lines up ten gears using Linkglide technology: thicker teeth, a reinforced LG500 chain and smooth shifting even under load. The straight Alpha Smooth aluminium frame is the same as on the other versions.
| Shimano CUES, 10-speed (R10) | Shimano ESSA, 8-speed (R8) | Gates belt, 1-speed (B) | |
| How it works | Linkglide, 10 gears | Derailleur, 8 gears | Belt, single ratio |
| Maintenance | Parts built to last | Standard chain maintenance | Almost nothing to do |
| Straight-frame version | 22.60 kg (L), 600 Wh | 21.50 kg (L), 360 Wh | 20.70 kg (L), 360 Wh |
| What it means | Range and gears for touring | Versatile, lighter battery | Urban simplicity |
In short: 240 Wh and two more gears than the Inbound+ 2 R8, for an extra 1.10 kg (22.60 kg in L). It's the Inbound+ to choose if your journeys are long or hilly, or if you want to charge less often.
Ten gears guarantee you always have the right ratio: a low one for setting off loaded at the foot of a hill, a high one for cruising at 25 km/h on the flat, the assistance limit. Shimano's Linkglide technology makes gear changes smooth and precise, even when you're pushing on the pedals.
The cockpit adapts: the Bontrager stem changes angle and accepts Blendr mounts for a light, a computer or a phone holder. The 690 mm lowriser bar with 11 degrees of backsweep encourages an upright posture, ideal for short journeys and rides of several hours alike.
| Model | Motor / battery | Drivetrain | Frame | Weight (size) |
| Inbound+ 2 R8 | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 360 Wh | Shimano ESSA 8-speed | Straight | 21.50 kg (L) |
| Inbound+ 2 R10 | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 600 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed | Straight | 22.60 kg (L) |
| Inbound+ 2 B 540 | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 540 Wh | Gates belt, 1-speed | Straight | 21.60 kg (L) |
| Inbound+ 2 R10 LS | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 600 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed | Lowstep | 22.40 kg (M) |
Our take: with 600 Wh and ten gears for 22.60 kg in L, the R10 is the most versatile Inbound+. The R8, 1.10 kg lighter, is enough if your journeys stay short; the Lowstep R10 LS offers the same base with a low frame.

LVR sizing advice The straight frame covers 155 to 203 cm in three sizes. For long rides, the L and XL, with their 110 mm stem, distribute weight better between saddle and bar; the M remains the most nimble in town with its 70 mm stem.
