What is an e-trekking bike and what is the difference to a city e-bike?
An e-trekking bike, also known as a trekking e-bike, is an e-bike that is specially designed for longer distances and varied terrain. It combines the robust characteristics of a mountain bike with the comfortable features of a city bike.
In a nutshell: Key differences between city and trekking e-bikes:
City e-bikes:
- Area of use: Specialised for urban environments.
- Design: Compact and lightweight for manoeuvrability.
- Equipment: Optimised for short distances and daily use.
Trekking e-bikes:
- Area of use: Designed for longer distances and a variety of routes.
- Construction: More robust and designed for longer comfort and distances.
- Equipment: Adapted for versatility and performance over different terrains.
Who is a trekking e-bike right for?
The idea behind trekking bikes was to create a bike that works well in the city, on long paths and even on unpaved trails... A real all-rounder! Trekking e-bikes extend this idea. They are perfect for everyday commuters and adventurers who are looking for an environmentally friendly and comfortable alternative, whether it's for long tours, multi-day trips or the daily commute to work.
Here's what you should look out for before buying an e-trekking bike:
Frame shape:
The frame shape is crucial for riding comfort. E-trekking bikes are available in various frame shapes, including special designs for men and women. Look for a frame shape that suits your height and riding position. The most common frame shapes are:
Diamond frame
- Classic frame shape with triangle between saddle, handlebars and bottom bracket
- High rigidity, ideal for dynamic riding and long distances
- Popular with male and sporty riders
Trapezoidal frame
- Similar to the diamond frame, but with a lowered top tube for easier access
- Good balance between stiffness and comfort
- Suitable for men and women
Step-through frame
- Particularly low top tube for easy entry
- Prioritises comfort and easy handling
- Ideal for older riders or people with limited mobility
Motor & range:
The power of the motor and the capacity of the battery determine how far and how steeply you can ride. For long tours, we recommend a powerful motor with a long range so that you can tackle hilly routes with ease. In our range, you will most often find e-trekking bikes with high-quality motors and batteries from Shimano, Bosch and Panasonic.
Gears & brakes:
Reliable gears and efficient brakes are essential for safety and riding comfort. Modern e-trekking bikes are often equipped with high-quality shifting components and disc brakes that offer good braking performance even in wet conditions. However, if you have special requirements, such as a built-in ABS system, we recommend that you find out about different brake and shifting models before you buy
