The Italian brand Malaguti showcases its 2023 catalog, which includes three new urban electric bicycles or VTC: Pescarola and Carezza.
Part of the Austrian group KSR, which also owns Lambretta and distributes Niu, Malaguti is based in Bologna and specializes in two-wheelers. In addition to its scooters and motorcycles, the Italian company offers a wide range of electric bikes and presents its new 2023 catalog.
High-quality Malaguti Bikes
Among the many new features, we note the introduction of urban models Pescarola WV 5.2 EN and Carezza TR/TRT 5.2. The Malaguti Pescarola WV 5.2 EN is the most city-oriented, featuring an upright position and a unique open frame (available in three sizes). Equipped with front suspension, it has a removable 625 Wh battery integrated into the frame and a Bosch Performance Line motor. For 2023, this city e-bike gets a continuous Enviolo transmission — similar to the Specialized Turbo Como, its competitor — via chain with a twist grip. It’s more practical than the traditional derailleur of the RT model with a Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub, which is not available in France. This model is priced at €3,999.
The Malaguti Carezza models are electric VTCs. The most versatile is the TR 5.2, with a closed frame, 75 mm travel suspension fork, Bosch Performance Line CX motor with 85 Nm torque, and Enviolo Trekking belt transmission and Clarks M4 brakes of 180 mm. The battery, also within the frame, has the same capacity of 625 Wh. The TRT 5.2 model is more geared towards mountain e-biking (VTTAE), still semi-rigid, with a semi-open frame and an active riding position, as well as a 100 mm travel fork. Both bikes are priced at €4,499.
Also daily-use trekking bikes
Beyond the Touring range mentioned above, Malaguti has a category called Trekking, more suited for leisure and urban riding. The Cortina WV 6.0 EN arrives in 2023 with its open frame and semi-active position. Equipped with a Bosch Performance Line CX 85 Nm motor and a 750 Wh battery, it is higher-end than the Pescarola. The price is therefore higher: €4,399 in “RD” with Shimano Deore 11-speed transmission or €4,699 in “EN” with belt drive and continuous speed.
