Description
The Muli without a motor
The Muskel is the original Muli: the same compact frame and folding front basket as the Muli Motor, with no motor and no battery. At 27 kg it is light enough to carry up a short flight of steps, it fits in a normal bike space and on the train, and there is nothing to charge.
Like every Muli it is built entirely in Germany, frame included, from chromoly steel. The frame is dip coated inside against rust and powder coated on top, and the cables run inside it.
The folding basket
One pull on the blue handle and the basket opens out. Fold it back and it is 276 mm wide, so the bike goes through doorways and into bike hangars like a normal bike. Open, the basket is 610 mm long at the top and 647 mm deep, which takes the shopping, a child or a dog.
Muskel or Motor?
Same frame, same basket, same accessories. The Muskel is £2,695. The Muli Motor ST, with Shimano motor assistance, starts at £4,650. Muli pitch the Muskel at everyday riding around the neighbourhood rather than long distances. If you want the motor, see the Muli Motor.
