These are the top 3 city and urban bikes in 2024
It doesn't always have to be the most powerful motor and the thickest battery: with a low-maintenance Bafang hub motor and integrated 410 Wh battery, the Hercules Urbanico I 8 can put together a stylish overall package for the city at an attractive price. The low-entry bike also focuses on comfort with thick tires, spring support and adjustable stem.
Price: € 2.499
The name says it all: The DailyTour E+ from Giant is the perfect bike for everyday tours. Not to the alpine hut, but to the daycare center, to go shopping or to the nearest cafe. It has the natural SyncDrive mid-motor and offers a lot of comfort thanks to the suspension fork and Enviolo hub gear.
Price: € 5.199
The Bulls Urban EVO Amsterdam combines a modern and stylish appearance with a low-maintenance (singlespeed) equipment concept. The FIT Bafang drive with 30 Nm and an astonishing 520 Wh battery is virtually invisible at first glance - but shines with smart features in the FIT cosmos.
Price: € 3.299
These are the top 3 compact e-bikes in 2024
Storck has an unconventional and distinctive e-bike with twelve-speed derailleur gears in its range. As a 24-inch bike it is rather “semi-compact”, but extremely light thanks to its carbon frame. The bike with the unique three-spoke wheels made of carbon fiber material weighs around 15 kilos; It is powered by the compact Fazua mid-engine. This is definitely good for moving around quickly and can also be completely dismantled if necessary. At 252 watt hours, the battery is rather small; The idea behind the engine is, of course, that it is only used when necessary.
Price: € 5.599
Hercules inspires with the rebirth of the cult moped – as an e-bike. The Prima 5E accelerates extremely quickly with its powerful Bosch performance motor and then sits comfortably on the road with its wide tires. The fact that these require more lean angle when cornering only increases the fun of driving the massive vehicle, which offers pure retro charm with its double bridge fork and round headlights. The positioning of the battery, which is reminiscent of the tank from back then, is also successful.
Price: € 4.399
The i:sy is the classic among e-compact bikes - and it keeps reinventing itself. So the technical sensation from Pinion is coming in 2024, the MGU motor-gearbox unit with twelve-speed gearshift, high torque and 800 Wh battery. This makes the popular 20-inch wheel even easier to maintain and more durable, but remains as practical as ever: The I:sy is as handy as it is stable, can be easily adjusted to suit people of different heights thanks to the simple height adjustment and, last but not least, is clear lighter than a conventional e-bike.
