Does the Urtopia e-bike have gears?

The Urtopia e-bike has no gears and the manufacturer justifies this as follows:

Leaving out a manual transmission simplifies the maintenance of the e-bike, since a gear system is the most complicated part of the bike and is the fastest to cause defects. It is also the most difficult spot to clean.

The e-bike weighs significantly less without a manual transmission and is therefore weight-optimized.

Without changing gears, you can fully concentrate on the journey and the road traffic and do not have to worry about being in the right gear. This prevents accidents.

The toothed belt contributes to the simple and minimalist design.

The lack of shifting means there are no more abrupt load changes, which contributes to a smooth driving experience. The pace adaptation is carried out via the belt and the driving modes of the motor without any delays.
