FRONT / 01
Hidden in plain sight.
A NAICISPORTS-developed front suspension system is integrated into the carbon-fiber fork profile, bringing suspension to the front wheel without a conventional exposed fork silhouette.

Carbon Folding
E-Bike
NAICISPORTS Pilot X9 is a step-through carbon folding electric bike designed around everyday access: a low 40 cm step-over, a compact fold and front and rear suspension for a more comfortable ride.

A lower entry point
01 / Step-through design
A 40 cm low step for easier everyday riding.
The sculpted carbon frame drops the step-over to 40 cm. Getting on and off feels more approachable, while the 20-inch format keeps the bike ready for city streets and mixed daily journeys.

02 / Compact by design
A compact fold for everyday storage.
The main-frame fold brings Pilot X9 to 85 × 69 × 48 cm. Store it between rides or move it through a changing daily routine with less space to plan around.

03 / Front + rear suspension
Hidden carbon front suspension. Rear air shock.
Pilot X9 pairs NAICISPORTS' self-developed hidden carbon-fiber front suspension with a DNM rear air shock. The design keeps the front end visually clean while giving both wheels suspension support.
REAR / 02
Support behind the saddle.
The DNM rear air shock works with the rear suspension layout to help smooth uneven surfaces. Its compact placement sits within the folding frame architecture.
Suspension specifications and setup can be discussed for the intended market configuration. Photography shows the chain version.
04 / Choose the drivetrain
Two ways to travel light.
Choose a seven-speed chain setup or a single-speed belt option. Both quoted weights include battery and kickstand.
Standard chain version
Seven speeds to choose from.
Shimano seven-speed drivetrain for riders who want a familiar range of gears.

Optional belt version
Simple, single-speed riding.
A single-speed belt-drive specification is available for projects that prioritize a clean, low-maintenance drivetrain.

Photos on this page show a chain-version sample. Belt version is presented by specification; appearance may vary by final configuration.
05 / Assist that responds
Torque-sensor assist that responds to you.
A torque sensor responds to pedaling input. The European reference specification pairs it with a 250 W rear-hub motor, a 25 km/h assist cutoff and no throttle.

A 350 W motor and throttle are options for markets outside Europe, subject to the intended market's requirements. Confirm final configuration during quotation.
06 / Standard power
A practical range, clearly specified.
The standard 36 V 10 Ah (360 Wh) battery is removable and lockable in the seatpost. The stated maximum range is up to 80 km on this standard battery. An optional bottle battery mounts to the frame bottle cage and is used separately from the standard battery.
