Comfy sport feel

Lotte strives to match the sportiness of her brother Ludwig, while at the same time focusing on relaxed everyday riding. The Shimano Alfine hub gears contribute to this, as does a more comfortable frame geometry thanks to a lowered top tube, higher head tube and lower bottom bracket. Lights and mudguards can be easily retrofitted if necessary - selected components integrate perfectly to maintain the reduced design language and typical Schindelhauer character.

A special drive

Instead of a conventional chain, the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive CDX CenterTrack belt drive ensures a light, silent and fast ride. For extended tours with climbs or fast tailwind passages, the Shimano Alfine 8-speed transmission is a perfect match.

With a spread of 307% for the 8-speed hub, it offers enough leeway for any terrain. The pawl-free freewheel is super-quiet and an ideal complement to the silent belt drive.

The hollow axle and external bearings work together to achieve the essential stiffness that the belt demands, while a fixed clamp collar gives a precise belt line to ensure a highly durable belt – at the same time, as a visual highlight, it decisively shapes the character of the bike.

Gates Carbon Drive

Since day one, Schindelhauer has been using the superior belt drive from Gates, which consists of embedded carbon fibres. All bikes are specially designed for the belt drive in order to take advantage of all the benefits.

Zero maintenance

Oiling, greasing and rusting are a thing of the past.

Highly efficient

With a higher wattage, the efficiency is higher compared to the chain.

Long life span

The Gates Carbon Drive lasts about 3-4 times longer than a chain.

Stay clean

Due to the lack of oil, it keeps your trousers away from dirt.

Super quiet

No chain - No more chain running noises.

Lightweight

The Gates Carbon Drive weighs 20% less than a classic chain.

Seamlessly integrated technologies.

Lotte is designed from the ground up for the Gates Carbon Drive to make the most of all the advantages of the drive system. Innovative technologies such as the Schindelhauer belt port and the slider-belt-tensioning-system are seamlessly integrated to consistently maintain the purist design.

Stable, robust and yet a true lightweight - the frame is made of high-quality 6061 aluminium. The smoothed weld seams using the "flat-welding" process are a visual highlight.

The patented Belt Port, an almost invisible opening at the dropout, makes it very easy to change the belt drive.

The slider dropouts make changing a tube child’s play. Two sliders attach the rear wheel and can be moved backwards and forwards to tension the belt. After changing the tube and mounting the wheel, the belt automatically returns to its original tension setting.

Sporty-classic cockpit

High-quality leather features and silver-polished components reveal the clear character traits: Lotte embodies elegant sportiness. The clean cockpit seamlessly integrates all components and offers agile handling.

The Schindelhauer Moon handlebars are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip and an upright cycling position. The stylish sweep of the bar ends, which curve slightly backwards (18°), mean you’ll enjoy casual touring all the more.

We’ve fully integrated the Tange cartridge bearing, so it accentuates the head tube. Seamless joints around the bicycle fork and stem area lend a flawless finish, creating the impression that the bike is cast from one piece of metal.
