At Bewatt, we specialize in manufacturing high-end electric bicycles, focusing especially on eMTB models to satisfy those looking for performance and reliability on difficult terrain.
In the e-bike market, it's important to understand how each type of bike is designed for a specific terrain, and how that influences the experience of each adventure. Here we explore the different types of e-bikes based on the terrain they perform best on, to help you find the one that best suits your needs.
1. Urban Electric Bikes
Urban electric bikes are specifically designed for getting around the city. They are lightweight and comfortable, and typically have a low frame for easy assembly and disassembly in urban environments. They often feature lower-powered motors and batteries than other types of electric bikes, as they are designed to cover medium distances and allow for quick, agile travel through traffic. These bikes are ideal for everyday use in the city, with features such as:
Thin, smooth tires for less resistance and greater efficiency on asphalt.
Moderate suspension or even no suspension, since urban pavement does not require advanced cushioning.
Luggage racks and additional storage options for comfortable daily commuting.
Smooth pedal assist systems, optimized to maintain a constant and comfortable speed in the city.
2. Electric Road Bikes
Electric road bikes are designed for those who love speed and distance. They are similar to city bikes in terms of light weight and pedaling efficiency, but optimized for long rides on smooth pavement. They also have:
Aerodynamic geometry, designed to reduce wind resistance and allow a speed-friendly riding position.
Thin, high-pressure tires, which reduce effort on smooth terrain.
More powerful assistance systems, ideal for maintaining speed on long rides and helping on steep climbs.
These bikes are ideal for those looking to travel quickly on paved roads, enjoy long-distance rides, or even train with the help of an electric motor to facilitate the ride.
3. Electric Mountain Bikes (eMTB)
This is where Bewatt excels: our electric mountain bikes are designed to deliver performance and endurance on rough and challenging terrain. eMTBs are designed for users looking to explore trails, climb hills and enjoy off-road routes, in natural landscapes where every meter can be an adventure. Our eMTBs feature:
Full suspension (front and rear) or high-performance front suspension, to absorb the impacts of uneven terrain.
Wide, durable tires, which offer better traction and stability on surfaces such as mud, gravel and rocks.
Powerful motors and long-lasting batteries, which allow you to tackle climbs and technical routes effortlessly.
With this type of bike, the cyclist can explore without restrictions and take advantage of the additional power and autonomy that allow them to conquer any terrain. For those looking for limitless adventures, an eMTB is undoubtedly the best option.
4. Gravel Electric Bikes
Gravel has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, as it combines the best of road and mountain riding. Gravel bikes are designed for mixed terrain, such as dirt roads, gravel, and pavement, allowing for versatility in different environments. They often feature:
A sturdy, lightweight frame, similar to a road bike, but with greater strength.
Medium-tread tires, which allow for good traction on unpaved surfaces without sacrificing too much speed.
Adaptive assistance, which helps on climbs and allows you to control your effort depending on the terrain.
A gravel electric bike is ideal for those who want the freedom to change from one terrain to another without having to worry about the limitations of their bike.
5. Electric Touring and Adventure Bikes (Bikepacking)
For those looking for a bike that can handle long distances with extra cargo, such as panniers, and adapt to varied terrain, electric touring or bikepacking bikes are the ideal choice. These bikes offer:
Sturdy frame with multiple anchor points for carrying luggage and accessories.
Robust, wear-resistant tires, allowing for good performance on dirt, gravel, and asphalt roads.
High-capacity, long-lasting battery, ideal for extended rides where charging may be limited.
These types of bikes allow riders to live long-lasting experiences in natural or mixed environments, as they are designed to withstand and optimize comfort on multi-day rides.
At Bewatt, we understand that every cyclist has their own style and favorite terrain, and that's why our electric bikes are built with the technology and quality needed to deliver optimal experiences, no matter the environment.
