Paratu CP 600 Wh — Pre-Order
Pre-Order — Q4 2026 Launch
Paratu CP 600 Wh
The Maxon-powered enduro platform — now with 600 Wh integrated battery. Secure your build with a 50% deposit. Production begins when payment clears.
600 Wh — How It Works
The Paratu CP's 600 Wh system combines the 400 Wh in-tube main battery with the 250 Wh Range Extender. Both are fully integrated into the frame — no external packs, no compromised geometry. The result is the same ride feel as the 400 Wh version, with substantially more range for long alpine stages and multi-day riding.
| Battery Config | Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (in-tube only) | 400 Wh | Trail & enduro days, technical terrain |
| 600 Wh (main + extender) | 600 Wh | Long alpine climbs, bike-packing, back-country loops |
Motor — Maxon BikeDrive Air S
- Torque: 88 Nm
- Peak power: 650 W
- Weight: 2 kg
- Integration: Fully internal, no protrusion below BB
The Maxon BikeDrive Air S is a precision Swiss motor designed for demanding terrain. Its compact form factor allows the Paratu CP's BB to sit at full enduro height without the motor hanging below the chainstay — a key advantage over motor systems that compromise geometry for packaging.

How to Pre-Order
Pre-orders are handled directly — email us with your preferred size, colour, and suspension choice. We'll confirm lead time and send a proforma invoice within 24 hours.

Common Questions
Can I convert an existing Paratu CP 400 Wh to 600 Wh later?
Yes. The Range Extender (250 Wh) can be added to any Paratu CP that was built to accept it. Contact us to confirm your frame revision is compatible before ordering.
What's the difference between the 400 Wh and 600 Wh configurations?
The main battery (400 Wh in-tube) is identical. The 600 Wh configuration adds the 250 Wh Range Extender battery — also fully integrated into the frame. No external bag or cage required.
Which shipping incoterms apply?
All Bikelab shipments are EXW Taiwan. Import duties, customs clearance, and local delivery to your address are your responsibility. We provide full export documentation including the commercial invoice and packing list.
I'm in the EU — do I pay VAT?
We are a Taiwan-based company. We do not charge EU VAT. You are responsible for declaring import duties and VAT at your local customs office on arrival. We will correctly declare the frame value on the commercial invoice.
What currency can I pay in?
We invoice in USD by default. EUR invoicing is available on request. Bank wire is strongly preferred — PayPal is accepted but carries a ~3.5% fee which is passed on to the buyer.
