The terms e-bike and electric bicycle are used synonymously and refer to the same thing: a bicycle with an electric assist motor. Technically, it is called a pedelec if the motor only assists while pedaling and cuts out at 25 km/h.

In everyday language, "e-bike" has become the generic term. At the MYVELO e-bike shop, you'll find a carefully selected collection of high-quality electric bicycles – from folding bikes for the city to high-performance everyday bikes.

A good e-bike costs between €800 and €4,000, depending on the features. Practical entry-level e-bikes start at around €900–€1,500, while high-end models with larger batteries and better components range from €2,000 to €4,000. At the MYVELO shop, we offer a curated selection at fair prices – with free shipping within Germany.

When buying an e-bike, range, battery capacity (in Wh), motor position, and intended use are crucial factors. For city commuters, a lightweight folding e-bike with a range of at least 60 km is recommended. For longer tours, the battery should have a capacity of at least 400 Wh. Also, pay attention to the frame size, weight, and brake quality. All e-bikes at MYVELO are carefully manufactured and meet the EU standard for pedelecs (250 W, 25 km/h).

An e-bike folding bike is an electric bicycle with a foldable frame that can be folded down to just a few centimeters. It is ideal for commuters who need to take the bike on the subway, train, or bus, for city dwellers with limited storage space, and as a compact travel companion. The electric folding bike combines the flexibility of a folding bike with the riding comfort of electric assistance – perfect for the last mile and urban mobility.

The range of an e-bike varies between 50 and 150 km per charge, depending on the battery, motor assistance level, and terrain. A 400 Wh battery is sufficient for most everyday rides (approx. 60–80 km). Inclines, high rider weight, and maximum assistance levels reduce the range, while moderate assistance on flat terrain significantly extends battery life. In the MYVELO shop, you'll find e-bikes with different battery capacities for every purpose.

For a standard pedelec – that is, an e-bike with a maximum motor output of 250 W and assistance up to 25 km/h – you don't need a driver's license, vehicle insurance, or registration in Germany. You are allowed to ride it on bike paths, and helmets are not mandatory (but recommended). All regular e-bikes in the MYVELO shop comply with the pedelec standard and can be used without a driver's license.

For an e-bike, we recommend: a high-quality lock (especially important due to the higher purchase price), a bicycle helmet, a pannier or rack, and a second charging cable for when you're out and about. Useful accessories make your e-bike suitable for everyday use and protect your investment. In the MYVELO shop, you'll find not only e-bikes but also suitable bicycle accessories – all conveniently available to buy online with free shipping.
