Blaupunkt pairs a long-range ride with easy storage

Blaupunkt is a famous brand here at Crutchfield, thanks to its decades as a leader in car stereos. Now it's putting a new spin on things with a lineup of sleek ebikes. The stylish Fiete offers performance and convenience in a lightweight, foldable frame that you can store nearly anywhere. It delivers up to 44 miles of range on a single charge, making it a terrific choice for office commuters, city-dwellers, and college students for whom storage space is limited.

A foldable frame makes the Blaupunkt Fiete simple to store at home, work, or school.

Built for fun, built to last

The blue and black Fiete has several features that we think Crutchfield customers will especially like. The die-cast magnesium frame uses a nifty magnetic closure system to keep it folded up in the car or in the closet. There's a transport roller (think inline skate blade) that makes moving the folded-up frame across the floor a breeze. And even the pedals themselves fold up to make storage a little easier.

20" puncture-proof tires and a six-gear Shimano derailleur help ensure a reliable ride — on-road or off.

Plenty of power for hills

The Fiete offers smooth acceleration and a top speed of 20 mph, thanks to a robust 350-watt rear-hub motor. Pedal it just like you would a conventional bicycle, or use the three-level electronic pedal assist to more quickly pick up speed on hills or straightaways.

A handlebar-mounted LCD display provides a readout of your speed, trip distance and time, battery life, and settings.
