The market for e-trekking bikes has developed very dynamically in recent years. We also have popular bikes in our online shop. The advantages are obvious. Longer journeys at higher speeds convince even those who don't like cycling. 1.36 million pedelecs were sold in Germany in 2019, an increase of 39 percent. This was the first time that the million mark for e-trekking bikes was exceeded. One in three bicycles on Germany's streets is now an e-bike. Experts assume that in a few years it will even be one in two bicycles. Above all, the bicycle industry's enthusiasm for innovation and its enormous variety of models, new business models such as leasing and bike sharing and increasingly sophisticated drive and battery technology could contribute to this.

E-trekking bikes are the popular and robust all-rounders among bicycles. They were originally designed as long-distance and touring bikes. But today they are the everyday bike for many users. This is easy to explain, because an e-trekking bike combines almost all the advantages in one bike. It allows for sporty riding as well as steep mountain climbs. The 28-inch trekking pedelec is comfortable and designed with attachment options that make everyday use easy.

In order to be able to withstand these loads, a trekking bike must have a stable frame and solid technical equipment. This consists of a battery and drive. Above all, the battery power should be sufficient for long tours and integrated into the bike in a way that is as theft-proof as possible for everyday use. Because a trekking bike can weigh around 20 kilograms and can also carry a lot of luggage, powerful brakes, ideally hydraulic disc brakes, are a prerequisite for unadulterated cycling enjoyment. An e-trekking bike usually also has a derailleur gear system, which allows the right gear to be selected for every riding situation. A hub gear system should have at least eight gears in order to master even slightly steeper climbs without any problems. Hub gear systems offer a little more comfort while riding thanks to their ease of use. However, they have a decisive disadvantage for trekking bikes. If you get a flat tire on a tour, changing the tire with a hub gear system is much more complicated and time-consuming than with a derailleur system. The choice of tires is just as important for e-trekking bikes. You can find something suitable for this in our online shop. Those who mainly ride on asphalt will choose a different tire than those who want to have the necessary grip on forest and field paths. In all cases, a trekking bike should be equipped with tires that are highly puncture-proof.

While the e-trekking bike is often used in everyday life and is also suitable for this, then a city bike is designed exactly for this. Specialist retailers call these bikes in the bread-and-butter category and by this they mean a bike for daily carefree use. They are offered as women's e-bike and men's e-bikes. In contrast to the trekking e-bike, the city bike is used more for short distances. The average cyclist usually only rides a few hundred kilometers a year on his bike. Therefore, he has completely different requirements than a touring cyclist, who can easily manage several thousand kilometers a year. The city bike is, as the name suggests, a city bike and should be designed as such. This means that puncture resistance, riding comfort and safety in traffic are the top priority. This is already noticeable in the gears. While a trekking bike requires a wide range of possible gear ratios, a few gears are sufficient for a city e-bike.

E-trekking bikes are now offered by almost all brand manufacturers and private labels. The range is enormous and extends from inexpensive entry-level bikes to high-quality bikes with prices that correspond to a small car.The new MYVELO models are all named with a superscript 2, which emphasizes the special, increased fun factor of electric bikes compared to their non-motorized counterparts. This means that riders who want to buy a trekking e-bike online that combines comfort with sportiness and makes no compromises on quality get their money's worth.As an Offenburg-based manufacturer, we are one of the young wild ones in the business who have completely reinterpreted the trekking or touring bike principle. Not just screwing a motor and battery onto a bike, but complete, timeless integration was on our agenda from the start. We have been building e-bikes for men and women since 2018 and have built up a small fan base during this time. The range includes commuter-friendly e-bikes for men and women that offer impressive performance with a high level of comfort and stand out from the crowd with their urban style. To find your way around, there are a few features you should look out for when buying a trekking bike. If you value having access to spare parts even in a few years, you should choose a solid bike brand like myvélo and also pay attention to brand quality when it comes to components.

In addition to the battery, the motor is also crucial for the range of an e-trekking bike. The motors can be attached to both the front and rear wheels, but the most common is the so-called mid-engine, which is located directly on the bottom bracket. A front-wheel motor is usually found on cheaper e-bikes and usually has a noticeable effect on the steering behavior due to its weight. Because motors in the front wheel are also much more audible, there is little demand for them and they are only rarely installed. Rear-wheel motors provide a lot of thrust and are therefore more commonly used on sporty e-bikes. They allow the use of 2 or 3 chainrings without any problems. Thanks to the possibility of energy recovery, known as recuperation, they can recharge the battery while driving. However, a coaster brake cannot be installed on a rear motor. The position of the mid-engine is ideal for a pleasant riding experience, especially for trekking bikes, because it is very stable and does not cause imbalances even with heavily loaded bikes, thus making the bike more difficult to handle. A mid-engine should therefore be the first choice for a trekking bike. In addition, mid-engines, such as those offered by Shimano, also offer comfort advantages due to their lower weight. E-trekking bikes with a mid-engine can be equipped with additional suspension, thus enabling a better riding experience. However, mid-engines are more susceptible to wear, among other things because they transfer their power directly to the chain. However, this enables more economical power consumption and therefore a longer range. Although not allmid-enginesCompatible with all gear systems, but the combination of Bosch and Shimano works in most cases. However, the most suitable combination is a Shimano motor and gears. Mid-engines are usually equipped with just one chainring. However, mid-engines are now available that have a second chainring, allowing for more gear shifting variations. Some mid-engine suppliers now also offer automatic transmissions.

E-trekking bikes have the greatest popularity among e-bike riders fan base. The combination of a powerful motor with a long-lasting battery makes the e-trekking bike an ideal companion on long bike tours, but also in everyday life and for commuting. The Trekking E-Bike could be considered the ideal compromise between the common types of bicycles. It is much sportier and lighter than a City E-Bike, but at the same time much more comfortable than an E-Mountainbike or E-Crossbike. A robust Frame construction and stable luggage racks make it possible to trekking bike to transport slightly heavier loads without any problem. This could be fully packed travel bags on the go or the weekly shopping in everyday life. Thanks to the electric thrust, the rider of a trekking bike hardly ever reaches his limits. In the trekking bike segment, Shimano in particular has made an excellent name for itself with its mid-engines. Depending on the equipment, they offer a high torque for fast acceleration and confident uphill rides. Matched with the right battery, they now offer ranges of over 200 kilometers and are therefore ideal for touring cyclists. In recent years, the Chinese manufacturer Bafang has positioned itself for more price-sensitive customers and offers powerful but also lightweight mid-engines. Weight in particular plays a decisive role for cyclists who travel at speeds of over 25 km/h.

Thanks to their support, e-trekking bikes can also manage steep climbs without much effort, so that you never have to struggle to climb a hill at low speed again. The decisive factor is the torque of the motor. The maximum torque is the result of the bike's own power and the performance of the motor. This is where the mid-engines come into play again, because they support the rider with the greatest torque.

This also includes longer climbs or hilly terrain are no longer a problem. The thrust is most noticeable when starting up a hill. From zero to a reasonable speed in just a few seconds. A mid-engine with an output of more than 50 Nm (Newton meters) can easily manage a gradient of 19 percent, which is quite common in mountainous terrain. The ideal always depends on your own cadence and the motor support. The higher the cadence, the lower the required motor support. This has an impact on the battery performance. By the way, the same applies in strong winds.

An e-trekking bike is just as suitable for the city as it is for long tours or daily commuting. For this, the e-bike have some features that allow for comfortable use and also meet the requirements of the road traffic regulations. The first priority is of course a suitable frame in the right size. The following applies: A frame that is a little too small can be easily adjusted to the body size, but a frame that is too big cannot. For men, e-bikes in trekking area are usually the so-called diamond frame with a horizontal top tube. They ensure the greatest possible stability and safe driving. For women's e-bikes, the counterpart of the wave frame, which does not have a top tube. In addition, it is equipped with the right drive and battery. If you use your e-bike mainly for short distances on flat terrain, you need less power than if you are travelling on hilly terrain and also riding longer distances. Incidentally, ranges of more than 100 kilometers. This is no problem for most e-trekking bikes. For everyday use, however, you also need mudguards and a good lighting system, which you can also buy online from us, but are usually pre-installed on the trekking models. These are ideally powered by a hub dynamo or the battery. Lighting systems are now available that can be supplemented by high beam and/or brake light. The brakes are another important safety feature, they should be able to bring the somewhat heavier trekking e-bike to a stop at any time without any problems. This is why e-bikes are usually equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. Trekking pedelecs with hub gears often also offer a supplementary coaster brake. To make cycling possible, the frame should have attachment options for bicycle bags. Another important factor is the right saddle. The delivery usually includes a saddle that allows many riders to sit comfortably. For riders who cannot cope with the saddle, we offer numerous alternatives. The rule here is: try before you study.

An e-trekking bike for women has a low center bar. The adapted frame geometry allows you to get on and off easily. There are also women's e-trekking bikes with a low entry, such as the Ibiza model from MYVELO. Thanks to the wide range of possible uses, an e-trekking bike for women is ideal for routes in the city, in the forest or on country paths. The many models for women can be individually adjusted to your own body size to ensure you are safe on the road.

The deep entry makes getting on and off much easier, which is particularly beneficial for women who are wearing skirts or dresses. This design ensures greater safety and comfort, as the risk of falling over when getting on or off is minimized. In addition, the low entry promotes an upright and relaxed sitting position, which makes longer rides more comfortable. Overall, e-trekking bikes with a low entry offer a user-friendly and comfortable option for women who want to enjoy both everyday rides and longer tours.

A good men's e-trekking bike should meet various factors. Since a men's trekking bike has a high center bar, you should first check whether the entry is suitable or whether a low entry is more suitable. In addition, high-quality components, a battery with at least 504 Wh and a powerful 250-watt motor are important to make cycling fun.
