Overview
- City, trekking and e‑mountain bikes are matched to different uses, with urban bikes favoring comfort, trekking models suited to longer tours and e‑MTBs built for trails.
- Battery guidance is tiered by distance needs: about 250–300 Wh for short city trips, 400–500 Wh for 30–60 km outings and 600–750 Wh for 70–120 km rides.
- Motor torque tips emphasize terrain: roughly 40–50 Nm is sufficient for city riding, while at least 60 Nm is advised in hilly areas.
- Refurbished options from Rebike and Upway are flagged as lower‑cost alternatives, with professional inspection, test‑ride or return windows and warranties that differ by seller.
- Dealer and service details matter, including Rebike’s 2‑year battery/motor warranty, Upway’s 1‑year coverage, B.O.C.’s nationwide workshops, local test rides via Bikes.de and budget expectations starting near €1,500 for entry models.
