Strava is the most widely used training and community app for cyclists worldwide. With it, you can record your rides, analyze your performance, compare yourself with others on segments, and track your progress over months and years.

The e-bike has revolutionized cycling. It gets more people on bikes, makes routes easier, and expands the radius of everyday life. But with the electric boost comes criticism: less exercise, more convenience, less training effect.

Rugged forest paths, stony trails, muddy forest roads – if you want to travel off-road, you need the right vehicle. Off-road capable e-scooters have been promising adventure without pedaling for several years. At the same time, e-MTBs have long established themselves as serious off-road machines. But what is really the better choice for true off-road riding? We honestly compare both concepts – from off-road capability to the legal situation in Germany.

E-bike batteries are the heart of every e-bike. They supply the energy that powers the motor and thus significantly determine the bike's range, performance, and lifespan. However, you often hear that constant charging damages the battery. We debunk this myth and show you how to properly care for your battery.

I am passionate about cycling. For years. In the rain, in the cold, through city traffic, over country roads. For me, the bicycle is not a second-class means of transport – it's my favorite.

Grip is far more than just a "good feeling" when cycling. It determines how safely you corner, how efficiently you accelerate – and in a critical situation, even whether you crash or maintain control. But what exactly does the grip of bicycle tires depend on? And how can it be specifically improved?

Where is the charging port located on an e-bike? Integrated into the frame or on the battery? We explain the differences and what that really means when buying one.

Shared time in the fresh air, exercise, and adventure – what could be better than going on an e-bike tour with your dog? But to ensure the ride is safe, stress-free, and healthy for both human and animal, some preparation is necessary. This article will tell you what really matters – from the right equipment to the appropriate training.

Green light. You put your foot on the pedal – and the e-bike accelerates. Powerful, quiet, effortless. This feeling is one of the main reasons why people switch from classic bicycles to a pedelec. But how fast is an e-bike really when starting? And what's behind it – motor, weight, physics?

Electronic shifting systems are no longer found exclusively in road cycling. With Bosch eShift, automated and intelligent shifting is increasingly entering the world of e-bikes. The system connects the motor, shifting, and sensors, ensuring that gear changes are more precise, comfortable, and efficient.

E-bikes with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h – often also referred to as pedelecs – are by far the most popular type of e-bike in Germany and Europe. They combine comfort, everyday usability, and fitness in a way that hardly any other means of transport offers. But what exactly is behind the 25 km/h limit? And for whom is such an e-bike particularly worthwhile?

Buying a bicycle online also means taking on a certain amount of responsibility for its maintenance and care. This isn't a disadvantage – quite the opposite: Doing basic maintenance yourself not only saves money, but also helps you understand your bike better and recognize wear and tear early on. A well-equipped home workshop makes all the difference between a bike that lasts forever and one that needs to go to the shop sooner than necessary.
