Moustache Samedi 28 ES vs Lundi 27 Belt: Two Different Urban Drive Layouts

2026-11-07

The Moustache Samedi 28 ES vs Lundi 27 Belt comparison concerns two different urban equipment layouts. The Samedi ES record describes nine-speed derailleur gearing, while Lundi's record names a Gates belt and a Bosch rear-hub motor. Start with those arrangements before comparing a single battery or weight number.

Moustache Samedi 28 ES vs Lundi 27 Belt: follow the drive entries

Lundi 27 Belt lists Bosch Hub Line BDU30, Smart System, at 45 Nm. The same motor description appears in its rear-hub field, and the manufacturer's narrative explicitly places the motor in the rear wheel.

Samedi 28 ES instead lists Active Line Plus BDU34 at 60 Nm, with a separate Shimano rear-hub entry. Record those full identities rather than describing every Bosch-equipped Moustache as the same arrangement. The numbers are manufacturer specifications, not a comparison of measured acceleration or climbing performance.

The belt and derailleur lists describe different transmissions

Lundi's transmission entries name a Gates ST 50-tooth chainring, a Gates 20-tooth rear entry and a Gates ST belt. Samedi's specification names a 40-tooth chainring, a nine-speed Sunrace 11–36T cassette and Shimano CUES shifting components.

A belt description is therefore not an optional wording change to the Samedi parts list. Keep the actual transmission with its model when deciding which layout you want to examine. These source entries do not establish a conversion from one bicycle's system to the other.

Compare the remaining package without declaring a winner

The Lundi source lists PowerTube 360 Wh, compared with 540 Wh in the Samedi ES record. That is an energy-rating difference, not proof of which bicycle will complete your own journey. Do not combine one model's battery rating with another model's distance claim.

Lundi also names Super Moto-X 27.5x2.40 tyres and an alloy fork with integrated routing and custom front-carrier attachments. Samedi ES lists Big Apple 700x50C tyres and an NVX30 fork with 80 mm travel. Those packages give a more complete comparison than battery capacity alone.

The stated weights are 23.8 kg for Lundi Belt and 26.5 kg for Samedi ES. They are catalogue figures, not fresh weighings with your bags or replacement parts. If lifting matters, assess the individual equipped bicycle.

The local Samedi 28 ES Black glossy listing anchors the Samedi side of this comparison. Use the Moustache background guide and Moustache topic to keep the weekday family names in context.

FAQ: choosing what to compare

Does Lundi's Hub Line motor sit in the rear wheel?

That is the arrangement explicitly described in the cited Lundi manufacturer narrative and rear-hub entry.

Does the larger Samedi battery guarantee a longer trip?

No. Energy ratings alone do not establish distance for your own conditions and equipment.

Do the source weights include my intended luggage?

No personal loaded-bike weighing is reported; assess the actual bicycle and the equipment you expect to carry.
