E-Gravel Bikes

Why choose an electric gravel?

Electric gravel bikes are bicycles designed to tackle all types of terrain, from asphalt to dirt paths and rough trails, integrating the power of the electric motor and battery that allow you to tackle longer rides and journeys. Electric gravel bikes are ideal for cyclists, even beginners, who are looking for a bike capable of tackling different types of terrain thanks to the assisted pedaling that helps on long journeys and more tiring terrain.

E-Gravel, features and strengths

E-gravel bikes are designed for challenging terrain and are therefore equipped with wider tires than traditional bikes. road e-bike, offering greater stability and grip on the ground. Like the gravel traditional, have a sturdy aluminum or carbon frame designed to withstand the stresses of off-road routes, while ensuring comfort and durability; finally, the frame geometry allows for a comfortable riding position both on and off-road.

How much does an electric gravel bike weigh?

The weight of an electric gravel bike varies depending on the materials used and the components installed, but generally ranges between 13 kg and 20 kg. For example, the Bottecchia BE85 Merak E-Gravel weighs 19,900 kg.

Electric gravel or electric racing bike?

The choice between an electric gravel bike and an electric road bike depends on the experience of the cyclist and the type of route to be tackled. Electric gravel bikes are more maneuverable than e-road bikes and offer greater stability on rough terrain thanks to wider tires and frame geometry, but they have less steering precision and are less aerodynamic.

E-racing bikes, on the other hand, are optimized for speed on asphalt, with lighter frames and narrower tires that ensure precision and agility in steering, but are more difficult to maneuver on dirt and rough trails, especially for less experienced riders.
