We introduce you to the different MYVELO models and give you practical tips on how to find the perfect e-bike with the help of a few questions.
Finding the right e-bike - clarifying important questions in advance
Are you looking for an e-bike and don't know whiche-bike is right for you? You're not alone. Buying an e-bike involves a lot of decisions. To find a suitable bike, you should clarify the most important questions in advance.
The intended use – an important criterion for your perfect e-bike
The intended use is the most important factor when buying an e-bike. The area of use of the bike determines which features should not be dispensed with. If you are a commuter who uses public transport for part of your daily commute to work, a folding bike is practical.
If you use the bike for bumpy forest paths and plan on steep descents, an e-mountain bike is more suitable. City e-bikes, on the other hand, are ideal for daily use in the city.
Good to know: Often you want an e-bike that combines all the features. It should be particularly light and sporty, with a luggage rack and a battery with a long range. To achieve all of this, you need two different bikes. In everyday life, this is not always possible, so you should choose a bike with the features you need for every ride.
To help you better determine the intended use, we have compiled some helpful questions below that will help you determine the right use.
How far can I travel with the e-bike?
The distance depends on the built-in battery . The battery capacity indicates the performance. The more power a battery has, the greater the range you can cover with the bike. Typically, the capacities are between 400 and 600 watt hours.
Please note: The power and size of the battery and motor determine the weight of the e-bike. The more powerful the battery, the heavier the total weight.
On long tours, a battery with a high capacity is worthwhile. In the city, a less powerful but lighter model is sufficient. The overall weight of the e-bike is reduced and is therefore easier to carry.
Depending on the intended use, the weight of your e-bike plays an important role. If you mainly travel in the city and have to carry the bike often, a light e-bike makes sense. With less weight, lifting is easier.
You should note that a lower weight often means a little less performance. Here you have to weigh up whether engine power and range or a light weight are more important to you.
Tip: A folding e-bike offers many advantages for commuters. The practical folding function allows you to take it on public transport without taking up too much space.
What drive does my new e-bike need?
The drive is the interaction between the motor, battery, controls and display. To answer this question, you should also ask yourself the following:
Am I doing sports or do I use the bike to get to work?
If you spend a lot of time off-road or carrying heavy luggage, a powerful motor is essential. Unlike a city bike, the weight of the bike plays a less important role here.
Tip : Motors from Shimano and Bosch offer the best performance in this area. The robust motors offer power and reliable support.
What surface am I traveling on?
Do you love exciting off-road adventures? Then a bike with good suspension, strong brakes and sufficient grip is important. On long journeys, however, comfort plays an important role. Make sure you have a comfortable saddle and a pleasant sitting position so that long tours become a relaxing trip.
If you often travel in cities and are at home on urban terrain with paved roads and hardly any inclines, a mixture of comfort, speed and additional features such as a luggage rack and stand is helpful. If you rely on speed in everyday life, look for a motor with sufficient power and a minimalist design with a sporty frame.
Tip: Many bikes can be customized. We often offer the option of different wheels on our MYVELO models so that your e-bike fits your needs even better.
Each model has individual advantages and disadvantages, which is why it can be difficult to find the right bike. To give you an overview, we present our most popular models.

Exploring new trails with an e-mountain bike
Is nature your home and do you love being out in the woods and mountains? With an e-mountain bike you can explore new trails. Mountain bikes are designed for many areas and offer great features depending on the model.
A question you should ask yourself before buying: Do I need a fully or hardtail mountain bike?
The difference between the two models is the suspension. A fully offers additional suspension on the rear wheel. Stones, branches or roots are comfortably cushioned. A hardtail has less suspension. Uneven surfaces are compensated for by the bouncing of the rear wheel. Despite the lack of suspension, the hardtail has one clear advantage: weight.
If your specialty is steep descents, a downhill bike with suspension is indispensable. If you want the mountain bike to be suitable for everyday use, you should choose a different variant.

How to find the right e-bike
An e-bike offers different features depending on the model, which is why the question " Which e-bike is right for me ?" should be carefully considered. To make the online purchase of an e-bike a successful experience, a few questions need to be clarified in advance:
- What distance do I cover?
