The Culture Mixte – Street Style Meets Minimalism

The Culture Mixte blends modern aesthetics with quiet electric power for a natural, stylish ride through the city. Its minimalist pastel frame, curved step-through top tube, and low-profile features make it an instant head-turner—on the street and parked at home.

At the heart of this urban electric bike is Bosch’s new lightweight Performance Line Sprint motor, providing smooth, intuitive pedal assistance up to 45 km/h. Paired with a compact 400 Wh battery, the Culture Mixte offers efficient performance with a focus on sustainability and low maintenance—perfect for everyday commuting, cruising, and casual riding.

✅ What we love about it

It lives up to the name - Silent. No clicking gears, no chain slap. It might be electric, but the motor and assist quickly fade into the background - what's left is just the smooth, quiet joy of simply riding a bike.

Design-wise, it’s clean and understated. Where other e-bikes can look cluttered with cables and bulky components, the Culture keeps things simple and sleek. If you’ve got an eye for aesthetics, it’s an easy one to fall for.

From a practical point of view, anyone who’s owned a chain-driven e-bike knows the maintenance costs can add up. The belt drive on the Culture Silent is rated for 10,000 km - and in our experience, that holds up. Hate lubing your chain, or sometimes forget like the rest of us? No need with a belt - phew!

We appreciate the careful selection of components - not just for performance, but for durability. It’s an investment upfront, sure, but one that’ll pay off with years of low-maintenance riding.

Perfect for city riders chasing a refined, low-fuss commuter with style, comfort, and quiet efficiency.

Our job most importantly is to encourage as many people as we can to get out and ride for transport and enjoyment. We'd love to make riding a bike as commonplace as your morning cup of coffee, which by the way is our other obsession.
