Is the Paratu CP the same frame as the Iuhu CP?

They share the same CP kinematic platform (identical suspension curves) but are different frames. The Paratu CP includes motor mount provisions, battery housing, and extra 10mm travel. The Iuhu CP is lighter and optimised for pedal-only use.

Can I convert an Iuhu CP to an eMTB?

No. The frames are not interchangeable. The Paratu CP has specific structural reinforcements, motor mount interfaces, and internal battery routing that the Iuhu CP lacks.

Which has better suspension?

Both have identical kinematic performance: 49.1% anti-rise at sag, 97.3% anti-squat, 3.0-3.5 degree pedal kickback (kinematic simulation). The suspension design is shared across the CP platform.

Paratu CP vs Iuhu CP — eMTB vs Pedal Comparison

E-BIKE PEDAL CARBON

Paratu CP vs Iuhu CP: eMTB vs Pedal on the Same Platform

Same CP kinematic platform. Same suspension philosophy. One has a motor. Here is exactly what changes and what stays the same.

The CP Platform: Shared DNA

Both bikes share the CP (Counter Phase) suspension platform. This means identical kinematic properties at the fundamental level: the same anti-rise curve, the same anti-squat profile, the same pedal kickback characteristics. The suspension does not know or care whether a motor is helping.

The difference is integration: the Paratu CP frame includes motor mounting provisions, battery housing, and cable routing for the Maxon BIKEDRIVE AIR S system. The Iuhu CP is the pure pedal expression of the same concept.
