The 10 best urban e-bikes of 2021
Geero Geero 2
Geero from Styria in Austria has been producing an e-bike since 2016, which, after great success, received a successor this year. The simple look and the successful, very natural drive via hub motor have remained. What is new, on the other hand, is the battery, which at 444 Wh is not only larger than average, but can now also be removed for charging or storage. Nevertheless, the weight remains well under 20 kg, even in the fully equipped Touring and City variants.
Price: 2.720 euros – 3.305 euros
Geero 2: The successor to the slim, successful e-bike under review
Product news / E-Performance: At the beginning of the year, the Austrians from Geero presented the Geero 2, a successor to their original successful model. Visually, little has changed, the Geero 2 is just as slim and simple as its predecessor. Technically, it offers some exciting new features that we have looked at in detail. When the Austrians from Geero […]
Kalkhoff Endeavor 7.B Pure
The Endeavor 7.B in its "Pure" version moves somewhere between urban, city and trekking bike: The electronic Shimano XT Di2 gears as well as the powerful CX motor from Bosch prove the sporty streak of the Kalkhoff e-bike, while it with its stylish, simple look, also feels at home among urban bikes. The Magura brake system integrated into the handlebars is a real highlight here. The voluminous Schwalbe tires ensure a lot of comfort despite the built-in rigid fork and thanks to the luggage rack, mudguards and lighting you are well prepared for everyday life.
Price: € 5.499

Wanderer e-tourer
Full comfort offensive for the city: The E-Tourer from Wanderer transforms every journey into a pleasure tour: Thanks to the suspension fork and spring support in conjunction with the comfortable leather saddle, bad roads are no problem and the relaxed seating position also enables longer journeys without any problems. The low-maintenance hub gear combined with a Gates belt changes gears fully automatically and steplessly, and the Bosch CX motor takes the fright out of even the steepest slopes.
Price: 4.799 euros – 5.399 euros
Amplified Stellar
Ampler Bikes from Estonia can be described as urban e-bike pioneers with a clear conscience. The Stellar is one of the most successful and still one of the most interesting models in the portfolio. Its full equipment, including lighting and luggage rack, makes the bike, which is driven by a hub motor and weighs just over 17 kg, a great all-rounder. Hard to believe: the very slim down tube houses a 336 Wh battery that unfortunately cannot be removed.
Price: € 2.489
Test Ampler Stellar: Beauty that comes from within
A bike that offers electric assistance and doesn't look like an e-bike? Ampler makes that wish a reality with the Stellar; The young company manages to avoid the disadvantages of conventional electric bikes. Digitization is well advanced in Estonia; the level of education is high and the country’s students rank very high in the PISA […]
Pegasus Passion E7R
The Passion E7R by Pegasus is difficult to fit into a bike drawer. With its stylish look, it screams “urban” on the one hand, and on the other hand it also offers plenty of storage space with two luggage racks. The comfort factor is not only underlined by the low step-through, but is also reflected in the low-maintenance components - from the Shimano hub gears to the hydraulic rim brakes from Magura. The quiet and harmonious Bosch Active Line Plus drive also fits very well into the overall concept.
Price: 2.799 euros – 2.999 euros

Bergamot E-Ville
No step-throughs are boring! Bergamont proves the opposite with the E-Ville. The e-bike from Hamburg also impresses with its technical values as if it were made of one piece. Above all, the powerful Bosch CX motor is unusual in this category and should provide a lot of fun. We also like the large selection of different models: from a light version with a rigid fork to an SUV with MTB tires, everything is included.
Price: 3.499 euros – 4.999 euros
Koga Pace B10 LTD
Convenient, quiet, low-maintenance: these are the key data of the Pace B10 LTD from Koga. Here, the very well-chosen Bosch Performance Line motor with its natural characteristics and low noise level plays just as important a role as the continuously variable hub gears with belt drive. In line with the concept, Koga also relies on a semi-integrated battery that can be removed very quickly and easily.
Price: € 4.499
Diamond Juna+
Modern technology wrapped in a retro look - that's the Juna+ from traditional manufacturer Diamant. With its leather attachments, cream-colored tires and chrome-look handlebars, the bike powered by a Bosch Active Line Plus motor gets full style points. Thanks to its very relaxed seating position and the spring support, the comfort is also pleasing. In everyday life, the front luggage rack also proves to be a great addition.
Price: 2.699 euros – 2.999 euros
Drössiger CTA Steps
Equipped with the Shimano Steps E6100 motor, the new CTA Steps from Drössiger strikes a sporty note. The drive of the Japanese is lively, but thanks to the well-chosen support levels, it can be adapted to your own wishes at any time. The bike itself is made for everyday tasks, the way to work or even a trip at the weekend. Thanks to the suspension fork, the latter can even take bad paths.
Price: 3.699 euros – 3.999 euros

MTB cycletech Souplesse GP
If you are looking for a stylish and technically and conceptually innovative e-bike for the city - yes, you should take a close look at the Souplesse from MTB Cycletec. The visually inconspicuous bike is powered by a whisper-quiet hub motor with up to 40 Nm and a 250 Wh battery in the down tube. The highlight of the Souplesse, however, is probably the gears: Here you rely on a maintenance-free Pinion gearbox in combination with a Gates carbon belt.
Price: 4.199 euros – 4.499 euros
