Summary
Meet the Bianchi E-Omnia T-Type Step-Thru Nexus 5SP, an e-bike that’s not just a means of transport but a statement of style and engineering prowess. This bike is equipped with a Shimano Nexus Inter5 internally geared hub, giving you five speeds that can be shifted even while standing still—a feature that’s both convenient and advanced. The Gates carbon belt drive ensures a smooth, quiet ride, further enhanced by the Gates Carbon CDX, which locks in seamlessly with the drive system.
Available in three frame sizes and different styles, Bianchi calls this model a step-thru, though it might be better described as a mid-step for added frame strength. There’s also a more accessible C-type with a deeper wave frame and a high-step version, both offering varying degrees of stiffness and weight distribution. The bike itself tips the scales at 64.5 pounds.
As a Class 3 e-bike, the E-Omnia T-Type features a Bosch Performance Line Speed Motor, delivering up to 85 Nm of torque—ideal for commuters who need to navigate through traffic with authority or anyone looking for a bit of thrill. The bike’s robust nature is complemented by Marathon e-plus tires from Schwabe, reflective sidewall stripes, reinforced rims, and a RockShox Recon suspension fork with 120mm of travel, adjustable compression, and rebound settings.
Bianchi’s attention to detail is evident in the custom frame design, which includes internal wire routing and integrated lighting. The bike boasts a primary beam headlight with additional side LEDs and low-positioned rear lights to ensure visibility, even with panniers attached. The permanent rack integrated into the frame, available in gloss black or white, adds to the bike’s sleek, cohesive look, although it does add some weight and isn’t removable.
For those concerned about comfort and adjustability, the bike includes features like a sturdy adjustable angle stem, locking grips, a veloman branded suspension seat post, and wide platform pedals. The suspension seat post and front suspension fork offer a near full-suspension feel, enhancing the overall riding experience.
Priced at around $4,600, the bike’s components reflect its premium positioning. You get Shimano or Radius hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors, ensuring reliable stopping power. The integrated Abus Shield Plus 5750 Cafe lock adds a layer of security, keyed alike with the battery for convenience.
Speaking of the battery, the E-Omnia T-Type houses a Bosch PowerTube 625, providing ample power for long rides. However, its placement and removal might require a bit of finesse. Charging is facilitated by a Bosch 4A charger, faster and more efficient than many others on the market.
The bike’s digital heart is the Bosch Kiox display, offering detailed ride statistics, range estimates, and connection to the Bosch e-bike Connect app for route planning and diagnostics. While it doesn’t support the latest Bosch e-bike Flow app, it still provides robust functionality and even syncs with Bluetooth heart rate monitors.
Overall, the Bianchi E-Omnia T-Type Step-Thru Nexus 5SP is a testament to Bianchi’s century-long legacy in bike craftsmanship, merging modern e-bike technology with classic design principles. It’s a versatile, well-rounded e-bike perfect for both commuting and leisurely rides, offering a blend of performance, style, and durability.
