At Bewatt we not only manufacture high-end electric bicycles in Spain with carbon fiber frames, we also pay special attention to the components that define the riding experience.
One of them, often overlooked, is the type of wheel. Today we want to talk to you about a key difference: wheels with visible spokes versus lenticular wheels (or with completely covered spokes).
Technology at the service of performance
Lenticular wheels, also known as disc wheels, stand out for their futuristic aesthetic and aerodynamic design. By eliminating the space between spokes, the air flows with less resistance, which reduces friction and allows for higher speeds on flat sections. For this reason, they are favorites in disciplines such as triathlon, time trials, or track cycling.
At Bewatt, when we talk about customization, we also talk about adapting to performance. A lenticular wheel is a statement of intent: precision, speed, and maximum efficiency.
And what about conventional wheels with visible spokes?
Just because they are more common doesn't mean they are less technical. Conventional spoke wheels offer versatility, lightness, and ease of maintenance. They're ideal for mountain bikes, hilly trails, or urban environments where agility and material durability take priority over extreme aerodynamics.
On our mountain and trail e-bikes, visible spokes allow for greater impact absorption, improved braking system cooling, and reduced sensitivity to crosswinds. They are the natural choice for those looking for exploration and reliability on all types of terrain.
Which is the best option for you?
It all depends on your riding style and the use you intend to give your bike:
If you prioritize speed on asphalt, minimalist design and maximum aerodynamic efficiency, lenticular wheels can be your perfect ally.
If you are into adventure, off-road or mixed routes, wheels with visible spokes offer a perfect balance between performance and adaptability.
Design, innovation and national manufacturing
At Bewatt, we manufacture our electric bicycles in Spain, combining cutting-edge technology, carbon fiber and local craftsmanship. Whatever your choice of wheels, our e-bikes are designed to offer you exceptional performance, with aesthetic and functional customization options that make all the difference.
Do you dare to take the plunge and build a unique, custom-made bike?
