E-bikes at STATERA - your ultimate guide to the perfect electric ride
Why an e-bike?
E-bikes - also known as electric bikes - are becoming increasingly popular because they offer a modern, environmentally friendly and comfortable way of getting around. They make it possible to cover longer distances effortlessly and adapt flexibly to individual lifestyles. With innovative technologies and a dynamic riding experience, e-bikes are the ideal solution for urban commuting as well as leisure and adventure rides.

Which e-bike is right for you?
Choosing the right e-bike depends entirely on your usage pattern and personal preferences. Think about whether you are more of a city traveller, want to go on long tours or ride off-road. Your financial budget and desired riding style (sporty or comfortable) also play a key role.
Our bike buying advisor is always on hand to help you with this decision.
| Criterion | Question | Example answer |
| Intended use | City traffic or leisure? | City e-bikes are suitable for daily commuting in the city, while trekking models are ideal for longer tours. |
| Budget | How much do you want to invest? | Choose a model in your price range from e-bikes under €2000 to premium models from €4000. |
| Riding style | Sporty or comfortable? | Sporty riders often prefer an aggressive dynamic riding position, while comfort solutions offer an upright riding position. |
| Range | How far do you want to ride? | Pay attention to the battery capacity: models with 600-750 Wh often enable ranges of up to 150 km. |
E-bikes for the city
City e-bikes are characterised by their manoeuvrability, low weight and suitability for everyday use. With a city e-bike, you can master urban traffic with ease - whether you're commuting to work or running errands in the city. The compact design and integrated functions such as lights and pannier rack make them the ideal companion for everyday life.
E-bikes for long tours
Trekking e-bikes are perfect for long distances and more demanding journeys. They impress with a high level of comfort, a robust design and, above all, a high battery capacity that enables long ranges. With a trekking e-bike, you can also go on longer tours without any worries - whether on the road, gravel paths or light off-road terrain.
E-bikes for off-road adventures
E-mountainbikes (E-MTBs) are ideal for off-road adventurers. These bikes, available as hardtail models for easier trails or fully models with rear suspension for challenging terrain, allow you to tackle steep climbs and technical trails with ease.
The most important components of an e-bike
An e-bike combines classic bike design with modern technology. The motor, battery and frame dynamics are particularly important. These elements determine the performance, range and riding experience.
The motor
A distinction is made between front, rear and mid-mounted motors. Mid-mounted motors are particularly popular as they offer optimum weight distribution and a very natural riding experience. Manufacturers such as Bosch and Shimano have set standards here with models such as the Performance Line or the EP8.
The battery
The battery is the centrepiece of every e-bike. The capacity, measured in watt hours (Wh), directly determines the range. While smaller batteries start at around 400 Wh, models with 600 Wh to 800 Wh are not uncommon. In optimum conditions, a range of up to 150 kilometres can be achieved. You can find more details on battery technologies and tips in our e-bike battery guide.
Finding the right frame shape
The frame design has a major influence on the comfort and usability of your e-bike. Different frame shapes offer different advantages:
- Diamond frame: Very stable, but your leg has to swing over a high top tube when getting on the bike.
- Trapezoidal frame: With a lowered top tube, they offer better climbing and descending comfort.
- Wave frame (step-through): Without a classic top tube, they offer maximum ease of entry - ideal for back-friendly riding.
- Folding bike: The special frame design allows easy folding, ideal for commuters who use buses and trains.
- Mountain bike frame: A distinction is often made between full and hardtail versions of e-mountainbikes, with full models offering additional suspension.
You can find an overview of the six different frame shapes here:

Tips for the correct use of an e-bike
Riding an e-bike is different from riding a conventional bike. To increase the service life of your new e-bike, you should follow these tips:
- Charge the battery gently: Avoid deep discharging and store the battery at moderate temperatures. In winter, you should avoid storing the battery in cold rooms such as the garden shed or an insufficiently heated garage.
- Regular care: Clean and inspect the drive components and brakes regularly. This not only extends the service life, but also ensures optimum performance.
- Observe maintenance intervals: Find out about the recommended service intervals and have your e-bike serviced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency.

FAQs
What is the difference between an e-bike and a pedelec?
On a pedelec, the motor only provides assistance while pedalling. Meanwhile, even with a fully electric e-bike, you still have to pedal. There are therefore no longer any significant differences.
How far can I get with an e-bike?
The range of an e-bike varies greatly and is usually between 50 and 150 kilometres, depending on the battery, riding conditions and support levels.
Which e-bike motor is the best?
Many manufacturers offer excellent e-bike motors, e.g. BAFANG, Bosch, Fazua, Mahle, Shimano, TQ. The choice depends on personal preferences such as noise level and support levels.
How do I charge my e-bike battery correctly?
Take care not to fully discharge the battery and store it at moderate temperatures. Regular charging without too frequent full charging extends the service life.
What should I look out for when buying an e-bike?
In addition to the budget, you should also consider the intended use, riding style and range. Our buying guide will help you find the model that perfectly suits your needs.
