TLV Advance Co., Ltd. (Osaka, Japan; CEO: Tony Levy) has released a Unimoke MK collaboration between Urban Drivestyle, the e-bike brand born in Berlin, Germany, and Timberland.

It features five-level pedal assist and a chromoly steel frame.

To mark Timberland's 51st anniversary, only 51 units are available worldwide. Each frame carries its own number plate engraved with a serial from TBL0001 to TBL0051.

The standout detail is the nubuck leather from Timberland's classic yellow boot, used on the full-length saddle and the handlebar grips. Its sturdy stitching sits well against the Unimoke MK's retro all-black steel frame, so both brands' character comes through.

Together, Urban Drivestyle and Timberland have reworked design classics loved across generations into a bike that feels both playful and vintage, just in time for autumn.

The limited edition is made for people who love to travel, and can be set up to suit all kinds of trips.

One bike, two travel modes

The design concept of this collaboration is a bike that can be easily customised to match the mood of the trip. Jump on and ride wherever the whim takes you, cycling through nature far from the noise of everyday life. Or swap the extension seat for the rear rack, fit the dedicated travel bag, and a carefree overnight getaway is within reach.

The collaboration also introduces two new bags, combining premium black vegetable-tanned leather with the nubuck of Timberland's classic yellow boot. The first is a leather travel bag that fixes securely to the Unimoke's rear rack: roomy, with a detachable jacquard strap, it can be carried by hand, over the shoulder, cross-body or mounted on the rack. The second is a leather square bag with a buckle that attaches to the bike frame and a detachable strap, a versatile piece that works for everyday use or as a side bag on the bike.
