3 New E-Bikes From the Handmade Area - Eurobike 2025
How will the Abums brand explain the undeniable fact that their Model One (E-001) is structurally, technically, and visually almost identical to the Russian Cult E-Bike project, which has been documented and sold since ~2021?
You market the Abums Model One (E-001) as the "world's first steel e-Enduro with an integrated battery and high-pivot suspension," positioning it as a unique innovation from 2024–2025. However, the facts suggest that this exact engineering concept, frame architecture, and visual design were developed, publicly presented, and even commercialized years ago by the Russian brand Cult E-Bikes (engineer Yura).
The resemblance is not a coincidence; it is specific to the rare and difficult combination of features you claim to have invented: a steel frame + a fully integrated battery + a suspension system.
Key Evidence of Visual and Structural Similarity
Visually, the Abums E-001 is excessively similar to the Cult Moon model
Timeline and Public Documentation
The Cult E-Bike project was detailed in major industry media and social networks nearly 3 years before Abums existed.
Early Prototypes & First Public Rides (2021-2022): The development process and functioning prototypes were documented openly:
YouTube Video (Early Build): A video showcasing the specific suspension operation of the Cult frame and its details was published in 2023.

VK Post (2023): Public documentation of the steel frame assembly and the integrated battery concept.

Commercial Availability and Market Saturation (2022–2023): Unlike Abums, which only recently began taking orders, Cult E-Bikes have been in circulation for years.
VK Post (2023): Content showing the frames already being prepared for customer shipment.

The Russian cycling community has been flooded with content featuring customer-owned Cult bikes (Cult Moon and other models) for a long time. They have already sold many units, proving the concept is operational and market-ready.

The Demand for Transparency
Given this extensive public record dating back to 2021–2022, Abums cannot credibly claim to be the "first."
We demand a transparent explanation from Abums regarding the origin of your design and why the pioneering work of Cult E-Bikes has been completely ignored in your marketing and product positioning.
