Electric City Bikes and Trekking

Electric city and trekking bikes e-bike

If you need to move comfortably around the city, city e-bikes and electric trekking bikes are the best solution for your needs. Equipped with a front or central motor and a rechargeable battery, city e-bikes can reach 25km/h and thanks to pedal assistance, tackling traffic lights, hills or heavy traffic becomes simple and fast. If you want a trip out of town and pedal in nature, trekking e-bikes are perfect for longer journeys offering the convenience of a touring bike.

Why choose city e-bikes and trekking e-bikes?

Choosing a city e-bike to pedal in the city is a practical, comfortable and sustainable solution for daily travel. The engine is usually located on the bottom bracket, with the latter considered the best choice to ensure a smoother and more balanced pedaling. Thanks to the assisted pedaling, tackling climbs, frequent restarts and long journeys becomes extremely simple, allowing you to minimize physical effort and arrive at your destination more rested.

Compared to other electric bikes like the gravel e-bike, designed for mixed and long routes, city e-bikes offer a more comfortable and upright riding position, ideal for better visibility in traffic, and wider tires for greater stability on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones or rough roads. They also include essential accessories for the city, such as roof racks and baskets, mudguards and integrated lights, making them perfect for those who move between home, work and errands.

Trekking e-bikes combine the convenience of city bikes with the durability of E-MTB: they are in fact structured to tackle climbs, paths and longer routes than touring bikes, ideal for trips out of town.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

The battery life of a city e-bike or trekking e-bike depends on several factors, including battery capacity, the assistance level selected and the conditions of the route. On average, a city e-bike can guarantee a range of between 50 and 100 km on a single charge, ideal for covering daily trips in the city without worries. However, routes with many hills, high speeds or intensive use of assistance can reduce the range.

To recharge the battery, models can have two options:

Built-in battery: You need to connect the bike directly to a power outlet via a dedicated charging port.
Removable battery: you can remove the battery from the frame or rack and recharge it conveniently at home or in the office, using a dedicated charger.

A full charge generally takes between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the power of the charger and the capacity of the battery.

How to lock your city e-bike safely?

To protect your city e-bike from theft, it is advisable to follow some precautions to ensure that your bike always remains safe:

– Use padlocks quality: Choose a sturdy lock, preferably a U-lock or a hardened chain lock, resistant to break-in attempts. Avoid cheap locks, which can be easily cut.

– Secure your bike to a fixed point: Make sure you secure the frame and, if possible, one of the wheels to a solid structure such as a rack, a pole, or an anchor bar designed for bikes. Avoid surfaces that can be easily removed or broken, such as weak fences or thin posts.

– Add a second lock: For extra security, use a second lock to lock the front or rear wheel, and try to always pass the lock through the frame triangle for optimal protection.

– Remove accessories: If your e-bike has a removable battery, lights, or other easily removable accessories, take them with you when you leave your bike unattended.
