Electric Bikes

Buy an electric bike online

Whether in the city, off-road or on long country roads, a motor assisted bike makes riding an absolute breeze. Discover e-bikes at Canyon.

What is an electric bike?

An e-bike is an electric bicycle that supports you up to a speed of 15.5 mph (25kmh). Strictly speaking, an e-bike is a pedelec (pedal electric cycle) that uses an electric motor to support your own muscle effort. It must be pedal-assist only. Any electric bike capable of going faster than 15.5mph (25kmh) requires a license and registration plate in the UK and EU countries.

E-bikes compared to normal bikes

Canyon's e-bikes share many features with our non-electrical bikes. City bikes and hybrid bikes are available with low-maintenance internal gear hubs or lighter chain drivetrains. Since the gears are exposed to high forces, we equip our electric bikes with robust drivetrain components. Disc brakes are a must on e-bikes to bring you to a safe stop at high speeds.

E-bikes are usually heavier than normal bikes. But our models are among the lightest e-bikes on the market. Components are carefully matched to the purpose of the bike. Canyon e-bikes stand out with their minimal weight, strong performance and clean design. We adapt the geometry of the e-models: the battery and motor are integrated to benefit both the riding experience and appearance of the bike.

What range does an e-bike battery have?

There is no general way to tell how far you can ride on one battery charge. The range of an e-bike depends on the following factors:

• Total weight: Weight of the bicycle + rider's weight + luggage. The more mass that has to be accelerated, the higher the engine power required.
• Speed and riding style: If you maintain a high speed, the electric motor consumes more energy. The same applies if you accelerate and brake hard from traffic light to traffic light instead of letting the bike coast towards red lights.
• Cadence: Many e-bike motors work particularly efficiently at a cadence of 75 revolutions per minute.
• Wind conditions: In a headwind, not only do you need more power, but also the engine. In the city, this effect is not as strong as in wide open terrain.
• Selected support level: Depending on the motor, you have different levels of support available. To save battery life, you should select a power-saving level.
• Battery capacity: The size of an e-bike battery is specified in watt hours. While a large battery increases the range, it’s also heavier and more expensive. The size of the battery depends on the e-bike's intended use.

What specs does an electric bike have?

The specification of a bike depends on the model and the area of use. Some Canyon city e-bikes, for example, have mudguards and integrated bike lights. With this equipment every rider is safe on the daily commute. For sporty e-MTBs or e-road bikes, fixed components for everyday use would add unnecessary weight to the bike.

Some Canyon e-hybrid bikes are equipped with a pannier rack and other options for carrying luggage. This guarantees enough space to stow away your groceries or travel supplies. Owners of the Pathlite:ON from Canyon can use a trailer to transport additional luggage.

Go on a discovery tour or start a cycling journey. With superior comfort and an optimal setup, a hybrid e-bike has your back.

What equipment do I need for my e-bike?

Depending on the purpose, equipment for an e-bike is similar to the non-electric models. You should always wear a helmet as it can be a lifesaver in the event of an accident. Bicycle helmets with integrated lights have become popular among e-bike riders who frequent cities and towns. They keep you visible and protected in urban traffic. For gravel, MTB or road bike rides, we recommend cycling accessories that will make your ride even more comfortable:

• Cycling gloves: Cycling gloves prevent pressure points, blisters and slipping, especially in sweaty conditions. On MTBs, unpadded long-finger gloves are common. They protect you from scratches on the trail without distorting the feeling of grip. On a gravel bike the terrain decides whether mountain bike or road bike gloves are better suited for your route.
• Cycling shorts: For long days in the saddle, a pair of padded road bib shorts is essential. They optimise your temperature management and comfort while in the saddle. On the MTB, depending on the discipline, padding is not necessary. Bike bib shorts are best for most gravel rides and bib tights for cold conditions.
• Cycling shoes: Road bike shoes are connected to clipless pedals via cleats. The system varies for mountain biking. While you can walk well with MTB shoes, you should only take a few steps on road shoes. Since you sometimes have to push or shoulder your bike when gravel riding, we recommend an MTB system. If you mainly ride on the road, road bike pedals and shoes will suit you better.
