5 lightest e-bikes

Our country still includes a huge number of high-rise buildings that do not have an elevator. Their residents would not refuse to use an electric bike. But they are confused by the large weight of such a vehicle. Fortunately, there are also lightweight models. It is about them that is described in this collection.

Modern electric bikes have one unpleasant drawback, which is a lot of weight. This puts many people off buying, especially if they live in an apartment building but can't use the elevator. That is why we decided to talk about the lightest electric bikes designed for use by adults. Usually, the minimum weight is achieved by manufacturers through the use of modern composite materials, a low-capacity battery, and simplified suspension. You should not expect a particularly powerful engine from such a vehicle, because it affects the weight almost the most. That is why we do not recommend buying a light electric bike for country trips. However, we must not forget that such a transport is also set in motion by muscular strength - therefore, even with a dead battery, you will rarely leave the saddle.

The manufacturer did not get rid of the rear derailleur and front depreciation for the sake of weight reduction.

  • Country Russia
  • Average price: 71,900 rubles.
  • Weight: 18 kg
  • Max. speed: 35 km/h
  • Battery capacity: 5.2 Ah
  • Range from full charge: up to 50 km

An excellent choice for those who want to keep fit. Yes, the motor used here is able to independently rotate the rear wheel, as a result of which your speed can reach 35 km / h. However, it is primarily designed to help you pedal. It is in this case that you will not be confused by the claimed range from a fully charged battery, located here on the down tube of an elegant aluminum frame.

The weight of this electric bike is 18 kg, so it cannot be called a feather. But then the manufacturer did not have to save on attachments. In particular, he supplied his creation with disc brakes. There is also a rear derailleur (only the front one had to be abandoned). And the electric bike also received a “horned” steering wheel. This means that your hands will not get tired even during a long trip. Of the shortcomings, only poorly coping with their task wings and a hard saddle can be noted. Luckily, this whole thing is easy to replace.

The most compact

This e-bike is foldable, so it's easy to transport on public transport, not to mention the trunk of a car.

  • Country Russia
  • Average price: 69,500 rubles.
  • Weight: 15 kg
  • Max. speed: 25 km/h
  • Battery capacity: 7.8 Ah
  • Range from full charge: up to 30 km

A good choice for a person who is going to enter public transport with an electric bike. To do this without much difficulty allows the minimum weight of the structure, not exceeding 15 kg. Simplifies the process and folding mechanism. However, because of him, the maximum load was reduced - it is only 90 kg. However, even this parameter means that the bike is ready to withstand most adults.

As expected, rear-wheel drive is used here. The motor built into the wheel cannot be called particularly powerful. The battery capacity is not impressive either. As a result, if you do not pedal at all, the electric bike will stop after 30 km. The battery needs to be charged for five hours. Another folding mechanism forced the manufacturer to abandon the speed switch. As for the brakes, they are disc mechanical.

The most inexpensive

For the price, this model can be compared with many city electric scooters.

  • Country: China
  • Average price: 43,990 rubles.
  • Weight: 14.7 kg
  • Max. speed: 25 km/h
  • Battery capacity: 6 Ah
  • Range from full charge: up to 40 km

This model is tailored for those who are not going to leave the sidewalk. Also, such transport is ideal for walking in the park, especially if it is large. The main feature of this electric bike is its low cost. It is easy to guess that with such a price tag one should not expect a decent power reserve or unusually frisky acceleration.

The battery here is located behind the seatpost. Because of this, we do not recommend driving in the rain. But such a decision of the manufacturer is fraught with undeniable dignity.The battery can be removed at any time and replaced with another one! Not surprisingly, iconBIT's e-bike is in demand among rental shop owners. Also noteworthy is the folding mechanism. It facilitates easy transportation of this model in a car or train. The buyer is also allowed to go down with an electric bike in the subway.

Top 2. CYCLEMAN RUNNER

Rating (2022): 4.60
Replacement for a regular mountain bike

Outwardly, this model is extremely difficult to distinguish from a standard mountain bike.

  • Country: China
  • Average price: 73,900 rubles.
  • Weight: 13.5 kg
  • Max. speed: 25 km/h
  • Battery capacity: 5.2 Ah
  • Range from full charge: up to 25 km

This model is a regular MTB bike, to which a quick-release battery and a small electric motor have been added. The power of the latter is only 200 watts. This design allowed to achieve a modest 13.5-kilogram weight. This means that the electric bike will suit even if it needs to be regularly brought to the fourth or even fifth floor.

Unfortunately, in order to facilitate the design, the manufacturer had to use a thin aluminum alloy. In this regard, the transport will withstand a load of not more than 75 kg. If you are heavier, buying such an electric bike is not recommended. Also, this is not the case when you will forget about the pedals. The motor here is installed rather not to rotate 28-inch wheels, but to assist in pedaling (hill climbs will no longer cause you a lot of swear words). Among the shortcomings of the model, the lack of switches and rim brakes can be noted.

The easiest

Even many traditional bikes are significantly heavier than this model!

  • Country: China
  • Average price: 99,900 rubles.
  • Weight: 13 kg
  • Max. speed: 30 km/h
  • Battery capacity: 7.8 Ah
  • Range from full charge: up to 40 km

This electric bike is being improved almost every year. Gradually it becomes easier. Now in stores you can find a 13-kilogram modification. However, it will be quite expensive. If you want to save money, it is better to purchase a slightly heavier model. It will weigh about 16 kg, but they ask for a much smaller amount for it.

The GreenCamel product is similar to an urban electric scooter. It uses almost the same motor, the power of which does not exceed 250 watts. And even the battery provides an almost identical power reserve. The only difference is that it is safer to ride an e-bike, and its pedals will allow you to continue comfortable movement even with a dead battery. We also note the presence of disc mechanical brakes here. The manufacturer has not forgotten the rear derailleur, which uses eight sprockets.
