E-SUV S8 Centro

  GET AHEAD WITH PREMIUM: THE E-SUV EXPERIENCE 

Sports Utility Vehicles – or SUVs for short – are finally available for all cycling enthusiasts and e-bike fans! But instead of going around looking for a parking space in a gas-guzzler, the SachsenRAD S8 Centro offers you affordable and green mobility. The e-bike not only looks good in the city center, but also on the way there on any field or forest path. Our SUV expertly bridges the gap between off-road and on-road and could become your perfect new company e-bike.

Everything for the forest, park and field
Thanks to the hydraulic disc brake from the high-end manufacturer Magura, wide all-terrain tires from KENDA and, above all, the specially developed, powerful mid-drive motor, the S8 plays at the very top. The strength of the e-bike lies in tackling difficult paths. Mud, puddles, gravel, roots or sand are no longer a problem. The frame is more robust than on standard city bikes and therefore helps you to control the bike when riding over rocks and roots. The same applies to the mid-drive motor: The motor position gives you a more familiar riding experience because the drive power is generated exactly where you are used to it by pedaling. You can adjust the stiffness of the stable and off-road-capable suspension fork to your preference.

Everything for the city
Back in civilization, the S8 SUV e-bike shows itself as a city bike with style. A sturdy luggage rack for heavy saddlebags, LED front and rear lights, as well as mudguards make you fit for the asphalt. And on neglected bike lanes, cobblestones and tram tracks in the street, you will appreciate the off-road capability of your SachsenRAD SUV even more.

Lots of power in the XCruise V8 mid-drive motor
The S8 is powered by our new XCruise V8 mid-drive motor. It delivers a massive 85NM of torque and thanks to its specially developed torque sensor, it precisely registers the force with which you pedal – and adjusts the assistance. For example, if you are riding up a hill and applying more muscle power, the motor will release more assistance for you. Thus, riding on steep terrain is easier and you won't break a sweat as quickly. In addition, this technology saves up to 30% battery capacity and the pedaling assistance runs much more harmoniously and pleasantly.

Top brakes from Magura
The Magura MT A2 hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear bring the S8 to a safe stop with the perfect pressure of the Carbotecture brake levers, even when fully loaded and at high weight. The brakes were developed with absolute ease of maintenance in mind. Particularly fast pad changes and low wear guarantee you peace of mind during all future check-ups and repairs. Even better: You never have to change the Royal Blood mineral oil that comes pre-filled from the factory. And should something ever happen to the brakes, over 4000 Magura authorized workshops are available to you nationwide.

High battery capacity and side mounting
You have never come this far before - at least not with an e-bike: The generous 720 Wh/20Ah battery takes you on a journey of 60 to 180 kilometers, depending on how hard you push it (depending on riding style, weight and terrain). Particularly practical is the side mounting of the lockable battery in the down tube: This prevents the battery from getting caught in the frame. Inserting and removing it is therefore particularly quick.

Smooth shifting with Shimano Deore
The 10-speed chain drive from Shimano ensures smooth gear changes. With only one chainring at the front and ten sprockets at the rear, the gear steps of this drive are more even. It makes it easier to select the optimal gear for different situations and enables precise shifting.

All information in color and at a glance
So that you are always informed about all aspects of your current ride, the S8 is equipped with a robust HD control display. The full-color screen consists of tempered glass with beveled edges and has independent control buttons in an ergonomic design. The display shines with its high brightness and wide viewing angle (IPS-LCD). A special screen adjustment technology ensures excellent readability even in sunlight and outdoors. 

One for everything
Instead of having to make room in the garage or storage room for a mountain bike, a city bike and a training bike, the S8 SUV e-bike combines all their advantages in one well-thought-out bicycle. With its range, you can commute to work without breaking a sweat even on longer and more difficult routes. And on the weekend, the SachsenRAD invites you to an extended bike tour and a wild ride through nature. The stem can be adjusted in no time, so that you can set the angle for the handlebars perfectly to your riding style.

The S8 is a real all-rounder and your new, dynamically designed city off-roader for sustainable mobility and limitless adventures.
