What is an E-Trekking bike | Trekking Pedelec?
The world of e-bikes is as diverse as a well-sorted toolbox, and in the special segment of e-trekking bikes, each model shines with individual finesse.
Let's start with the basic structure - an e-trekking bike is an everyday all-rounder designed for both city and longer tours in the countryside. With the built-in electric motor and a frame sturdy enough for the extra miles, you can experience cobblestone city explorations and extensive weekend trips equally.
If you plan regular trips to hilly green areas, a powerful motor and a substantial battery capacity are your best friends. If your focus is primarily on the city, a more agile model with a not-so-bulky motor can make parking hopping easier for you.
What distinctive features do e-trekking bikes have?
The frame geometry of an e-trekking bike is usually a combination of comfort and efficiency. No more hunched back or raised knees - here you sit upright and keep an overview.
Differences can also be seen in the bike's motor. Typically, mid-drive motors from Bosch or Shimano are used, providing harmonious support. But the devil is in the details: from torque to the number of supported gears, you have to take a closer look.
A gear system is not just a nice-to-have feature for e-trekking bikes, but essential to save your own muscles with the motor's assistance and optimize the range. Whether you choose a simpler 9-speed setup or a more extensive 12-speed variant should be decided based on your intended use.
The brakes on a motorized trekking bike should not be undersized. Here's the rule: the higher the speed and the heavier the bike, the more reliable the brakes need to be able to grip. Disc brakes are standard, but the quality of conventional brands varies between "Wow, that was effective!" and "Well, we'll stop... eventually."
Tires are a tricky thing - wide and grippy for comfort on bumpy roads, narrow and smooth to make you zip around like a city Gazelle.
E-trekking bikes from our high-end brands Cube, Orbea, Bianchi & Diamant
Now let's talk about the brands: Cube, Diamant, Bianchi, and Orbea. Cube stands out for its good price-performance ratio and models like the Kathmandu with its tour-ready package. Diamant focuses on tradition and value, while Bianchi brings the Italian flair - passion meets design. Orbea, on the other hand, scores with individuality and Spanish temperament.
The Cube Kathmandu is a true multitool on two wheels - robust and fully equipped for the next expedition, including a luggage rack and lighting system. The Touring lives up to its name: it is optimized for long distances on flat terrain, but not quite as ready for the wilderness as the Kathmandu. Orbea's Kemen mixes sporty genes with touring capabilities but is slightly more minimalist.
In short, e-trekking bikes are all about the balance of robustness, comfort, and range, combined with the appropriate motorized heartbeat for your individual riding style - whether it's Cube for the full program, Diamant for smooth gliding, Bianchi for stylish strolling, or Orbea for sporty exploration. Choose a bike like a reliable co-mechanic: it should support you, not hold you back.
