2026 UTO Afternoon PRO20 Electric Folding Bike With Belt Drive & Automatic Gears In Taupe, Green, Blue, Or Grey

The arrival of UTO's premium PRO range of bikes marks 2026 as a significant year. The Afternoon PRO20 features rapid folding capabilities and incorporates a belt drive system with Bafang automatic gears.

Compact and adaptable, the Afternoon PRO20 integrates all of the brand's most recent innovations for optimal performance as both a commuter and leisure bicycle – achieving the ideal equilibrium between aesthetics, capability and flexibility.

Crafted for visual appeal, the Afternoon PRO20's pleasing design has been refined to the finest detail. Welding seams have been removed and cables are now hidden within the frame for a cleaner appearance (available in 4 fresh colours).

Streamlined folding: simply pull the two tabs, and you're done. Using the "Loop" system, you can collapse your Afternoon PRO20 in an instant, without needing to bend down or lift the bicycle. The self-securing hinges created for the Afternoon PRO20 make expansion even faster and simpler, providing additional confidence.

The 360Wh battery featuring LG Cells (as used by Tesla), provides a range of up to 70km (depending on conditions), is completely integrated within the seat post and can be removed. Its design has been enhanced with the introduction of a magnetic port that integrates smoothly into the frame for convenient access from above. With the Abus anti-theft system built into the frame, your seat post remains constantly protected against theft whilst still allowing height adjustment to meet your requirements.

The Bafang 45Nm rear wheel motor comes equipped with an automatic gearbox that chooses the correct gear precisely when you require it, without requiring you to consider shifting. This automatic gear-changing system operates mechanically and functions completely independently of your battery. Even when your battery is depleted, the gears will continue to shift automatically. Combined with a torque sensor, it will allow you to ascend effortlessly and respond rapidly in any situation. Select from 5 assistance levels, change modes using the user-friendly display (even when wearing gloves during winter the display has been specifically designed to function in this scenario).

To streamline your daily usage, the Afternoon PRO20's drivetrain incorporates a Gates CDN belt – bid farewell to rust, grease marks and derailed chains. Additionally, this belt offers greater durability than a chain.

The Shimano hydraulic braking system ensures strong, progressive and dependable braking across all weather conditions. Schwalbe wide tyres provide stability, comfort and security. Their 6-layer construction shields you from punctures, preventing any unexpected disruptions.

The Afternoon PRO20 features a specially created space for discretely inserting an AirTag. Hidden within your bike, an Apple tag will allow you to locate your bicycle at any time.

Its adjustment capabilities are optimised through 3 different cockpit heights. Its large 20-inch wheels maintain stability and can now accommodate cyclists up to 1.95 metres in height.

Frame & Fork

Completely new proprietary design featuring auto-locking hinges that enable you to unfold the bike in less than 5 seconds. The frame also incorporates a patented integrated battery anti-theft lock developed with the cycle lock specialists Abus. The design also ensures no part of the frame contacts any other components of the bike which prevents marking and scratching. The fork now incorporates thru-axle dropouts for ease of wheel removal and a cleaner premium appearance.

Automatic Gearbox

The Bafang rear hub motor incorporates an automatic gearbox providing you the correct gear precisely when you require it without the rider needing to consider it for a moment. Simply unfold your bike, turn the pedals and allow the bike to change your gear automatically. The drive is delivered via a Gates belt drive so no oily chain or complex maintenance.

New Seat Post Battery

UTO has always favoured housing the battery within the seat post. The PRO range utilises a new patented design with the connector now positioned at the top of the frame and the magnetic connector is fast and simple to connect. The new battery now incorporates the rear light within the seat post and receives power from the battery.

GPS Tagging

The new PRO frame is designed with a location to secretly conceal an Apple or Android air tag so you will be able to track and locate your bicycle.

Asymmetric Centre Kickstand

The new intelligently designed centre kick stand offers a number of advantages. Firstly it's concealed beneath the bike which maintains the premium appearance of the bike and secondly which is the most significant, the battery is no longer required for the bike to stand in its folded position. This results in the bike being considerably lighter when lifting the folded bike without the battery into your car or motorhome.

Lights

Both Litemove lights are now powered from the battery and include automatic dusk activation. When light levels drop or you enter a tunnel the lights now activate automatically.

Integrated Phone Mount

The newly designed pro cockpit features an integrated SP Connect mount. Simply purchase the SP Connect phone case for your phone to easily and securely attach your phone to your handlebars. Particularly beneficial for navigating your journey using the phone mapping system of your choice.

Wheels

All wheels are now manufactured in UTO's own factory using extruded rims produced in France. This process has made the wheels considerably lighter with a saving of 200gms per wheel.
