We have compiled a checklist of things you should consider when buying a trekking e-bike. In our product recommendations, you’re sure to find the perfect trekking e-bike for you!

Checklist For Trekking E-Bikes

This Is How Trekking Works
  • For your child to be able to “trek” successfully, the e-bike should be kept stable and maneuverable at the same time. This is because trekking e-bikes are a hybrid of city bikes and mountain bikes. A stable frame in a minimalist design and large tires are considered typical features.
Frame
  • The idea that high-quality materials weigh more than inferior ones is not wrong.Aluminum, however, is just as hard as steel & Co. and weighs far less. In view of the additional motor, we advise you to choose the lightest possible frame or trekking e-bike, since your child will be carrying it from time to time.
Weight
  • The weight of the trekking e-bike depends on the age and stature of your child. As a rule of thumb for children under 12, for example, the weight of the bike should not exceed 50 percent of the body weight.
Gear Shifting
  • Two types of gears have always competed. Which one is the “right” one is to be judged by riding style and terrain?
  • A derailleur requires sensitivity. For example, the pressure on the pedal must be reduced when shifting gears. In addition, this mechanism is comparatively susceptible to wear and must be serviced regularly. However, with up to 30 gears, derailleur gears are ideal for conquering steep climbs.
  • A hub gear offers between 7 and 10 gears. For city tours as well as trips in the countryside, this number is always enough. A hub gear can score points for its simplicity and closed construction. Dirt and water can do little to the rear derailleur.
Battery
  • Trekking e-bikes shine through their support. In order for your child to benefit from the extra drive, the capacity of the battery should be large enough. Otherwise, the extra weight due to the battery and motor will hardly pay off. A 4.4 volt battery is considered useful to benefit from a long range of up to 30 kilometers, both uphill and downhill.
Motor
  • Since the speed of a children’s e-bike must be throttled to 25 km/h, the motor has only a limited effect on the handling. Trekking e-bikes, however, benefit from a powerful motor: Even steep inclines are conquered effortlessly. 500 to 700 watts will get your protégé up any hill effortlessly.
