Booda Bike Pulse – Rohloff E-14 Early Bird trekkingcykel med remdrift - S
The Booda Bike Pulse Early Bird is a low-maintenance, belt-driven trekking bike with a 14-speed Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 A12 hub and E-14 electronic shifting, powered by a USB-C power bank that rides in a bolt-on top tube bag. The power bank is not included: you bring your own, and we help you choose one before you order.

About the photos: they show the Pulse – Rohloff, which has a grip shifter and, in these pictures, the optional mudguard set. The Early Bird is shifted with the E-14 Trigger and comes without mudguards; you can add them as an extra.
Why the Pulse Early Bird?
Shift at the push of a button. The Rohloff E-14 electronic shifting changes gear from a trigger on the handlebar instead of a grip shifter.
Power you can take out. The shifting runs from an external USB-C PD power bank in the top tube bag. Take it out to charge it, and pick the size that suits your rides.
No derailleur. The 14 gears sit sealed inside the Rohloff hub, which is the A12 version for a 12 mm thru axle.
Gates CDX carbon belt. Clean and quiet, it needs no lubrication and does not rust.
Steel frame and carbon fork. The steel frame absorbs vibrations and is stiff enough to make cornering a real experience.
Hydraulic disc brakes. Tektro R290 brakes with 160 mm rotors give strong, easy-to-maintain braking.
A top tube bag for your power bank
The Apidura Racing Bolt-On Top Tube Pack is a 1 L bag with seam-welded, waterproof construction. Two tool-free bolts fix it to the bosses on the top tube, and a strap secures it to the steerer. A protected cable port lets a charging cable leave the bag, and a removable padded base protects the electronics inside.
Which power bank?
Choose a power bank with a USB-C PD output of at least 30 W that fits the bag. It is 23.5 cm long, 10 cm high and 4.5 cm wide, so a flat power bank works best. The power bank and the USB-C cable are not part of the bike or its price. Not sure what to buy? Write to info@boodabike.com and we will help you choose.
Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 A12 with E-14 shifting
The hub has 14 evenly spaced gears in a sealed, weatherproof housing. The E-14 shifting unit is operated with the E-14 Trigger on the handlebar. The Early Bird is not the Rohloff E-14 Solo system and has no Solo battery.
Gates CDX carbon belt drive
The belt (115T) runs from a 55T front sprocket to a 19T rear sprocket. It is a durable system with high reliability and low maintenance.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Tektro R290 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors stop the bike reliably in emergency braking and on descents. Shimano brakes are available as an optional upgrade.
Who is the Pulse Early Bird for?
- Riders who want electronic shifting with a removable power source. You choose the power bank and take it out when you need to charge it.
- Daily commuters. A sealed hub gear and a belt drive that needs no lubrication keep maintenance low in all weather.
- Touring and trekking riders. A wide gear range, a comfortable riding position and a top tube bag within reach.

Frequently asked questions
Is the power bank included?
No. The Pulse Early Bird comes without a power bank and without a USB-C cable, so you bring them. The power bank needs a USB-C PD output of at least 30 W and has to fit the 1 L top tube bag, which is 23.5 cm long, 10 cm high and 4.5 cm wide. We help you choose: write to info@boodabike.com.
Is this the Rohloff E-14 Solo system?
No. The Early Bird is a Booda Bike early-bird setup: a Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 A12 with the Rohloff E-14 shifting unit and trigger, powered by an external USB-C power bank. It has no Rohloff Solo battery, so it does not depend on the Solo system and is not a pre-order.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery takes up to 5 weeks.
Which handlebar does it have?
The standard handlebar is the Possible Noirette aluminium handlebar: it is flat and comes with Ergo grips.
