ABOUT THE OSSBY GEO:
Shipments of the Ossby GEO will start from July 1st 2024.
Composite materials are formed from two or more different elements with different properties. This combination makes it possible to develop new elements with unique properties.
We use a composite with a matrix of vegetable oil and recycled fibres to manufacture the frame of our bicycles.
We are the first Spanish brand to use this innovative material to create a lighter, stronger and more sustainable bicycle.
Yes, the battery can be replaced. It is located inside the frame, but can be removed for replacement by opening (with suitable tools) the top panel. However, we recommend that you take your electric bicycle to one of our authorised service centres. There, a specialist will be able to replace the battery safely.
In addition, you will find all the spare parts and components in our online shop for easy purchase.
Further details will be included in the Ossby GEO User Manual.
When it comes to replacing parts, the components of our e-bikes are fairly standard and very easy to change. As a direct manufacturer, we guarantee to have spare parts and components for our distributors, users and any bicycle repair shop.

This device has solar charging and two intuitive buttons. One with the + symbol to increase the level and the other with the – symbol to reduce the pedal assistance and switch off the motor.
