The market for e-bikes is constantly growing and more and more people are interested in electric two-wheelers as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional means of transport. Models that don't break the bank, such as e-bikes under 2,000 euros, are particularly in demand. There are some important features that you should pay attention to. That's why in this article we explain what you should pay attention to when buying an e-bike up to 2000 euros.


1. Type of E-Bike

The first thing to consider when buying an E-Bike is the type of E-Bike. There are different types you can choose from depending on your purpose:

- City E-Bikes: Ideal for city traffic. They are characterized by their design and stylish appearance.

- Gravel E-Bikes: For high speeds even on gravel paths, but less comfortable.

- Mountain bike e-bikes: Robust construction and suspension, ideal for mountainous terrain, but often too oversized for city use.

- Foldable e-bikes: Space-saving and easy to transport, ideal for campers or commuters.


2. E-Bike Motor

A central aspect of an e-bike is the motor. There are two main criteria to consider here: the location and characteristics of the engine.

Position of the motor

- Front hub motors: Less common as they create an unsafe driving feeling. This is because the weight of the engine is concentrated on the front of the bike, which can lead to a loss of traction and control, especially when braking or cornering.

- Rear hub motors: Offer better traction and control, making them a more popular choice. Rear hub motor e-bikes are designed with balanced distribution of battery and motor weight to ensure a stable and comfortable riding experience. The placement of the rear hub motor allows for effortless maintenance by simply removing the wheel.

- Mid-drive: Mid-drive engines offer the most natural driving experience, but are usually more expensive. Due to the complexity of the associated components, longer maintenance times may occur.


Engine characteristics

The motor torque determines the level of assistance during the ride. A motor with at least 30 Nm is recommended for a comfortable riding experience. The Keskin Cbike 1/1V, for example, has a motor with 46 Nm, which ensures a sporty riding experience.


3. Battery capacity & range

The desired range is directly proportional to the battery capacity of your e-bike. The higher the battery capacity, the greater the range. Note that many factors affect range, such as the rider's weight, weather conditions, tire pressure and road surface. For a range of more than 50 km in daily use, a battery capacity of at least 400 Wh is required. Here it is advisable to look at and compare e-bike tests under 2000 euros.


4. Frame material

E-bikes are usually made of aluminum or carbon fiber (carbon). Aluminum frames are more affordable and durable. Carbon frames are lighter and offer a sportier ride, but are more expensive and more delicate. If you have to carry the e-bike often, e.g. B. on the third floor, a carbon frame could make sense. Otherwise, aluminum frames are easier to maintain and cheaper.


5. Sensor Type: Speed/Torque

There are two types of sensors: speed sensors and torque sensors.

The speed sensor tracks how fast you pedal, which may not be beneficial for people with bad knees or limiting health conditions.

The torque sensor is built into the crankset and tracks the power per pedal stroke. It detects when you pedal harder and then offers more support in the same mode. Torque sensors are a better choice, but more expensive than a speed sensor.

In addition to the technical features, the manufacturer itself also plays a major role. At Keskin E-Bike, we attach great importance to providing our customers with the best possible service. This includes both advice before purchase and support and service after purchase. That is why we offer live customer service in German, French and English so that we can ensure that you receive our support at all times. Don't forget to test ride the e-bike before buying it. This will give you a feel for the handling, comfort and overall performance of the bike. A look at a list of the best e-bikes up to 2000 euros can't hurt either.


Conclusion

Finding an e-bike under 2000 euros that meets your needs can be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be. By paying attention to essential features such as range, motor power, battery type and weight, you can make an informed decision. We hope we were able to help you make the right choice!

Have fun driving!
