Overview

• CHIP’s latest roundup spotlights five SUV e‑bikes — Pegasus Premio EVO 10 Lite as top pick and Fischer Terra 4.0i as price tip, alongside KTM Macina Style 720, Hercules Nos SUV 2.2 and Rose Mayor Plus 2 — compiled from external tests rather than CHIP lab reviews.
• Technical advice converges on mid‑motors around 75–85 Nm (e.g., Bosch Performance Line CX, Shimano EP8) and batteries typically 625–750 Wh for tour‑suitable range, with real‑world distance varying by terrain and assist level.
• inFranken’s brand guide contrasts strengths across the segment: Cube for value, Kalkhoff for robust touring comfort, Riese & Müller for premium innovation and range, Canyon for direct‑sale tech, KTM for Bosch integration, Specialized for cohesive systems and Haibike for city/eMTB versatility.
• Retailers highlight heavy seasonal markdowns — with sales advertised up to about 60% — as shops promote off‑season and Black Month deals on trekking and SUV models from major brands.
• Refurbished platforms expand lower‑cost options: Rebike lists inspected bikes from roughly €950 with two‑year motor and battery warranty, while Upway applies a 50‑point check and offers a one‑year warranty.
