What is a lightweight electric bike?

A lightweight e-bike is an electric bike that weighs less than traditional e-bikes. They are designed to be easy to handle and manoeuvre, making them ideal for commuting and leisure riding. These bikes are typically made from lightweight materials such as carbon fibre or aluminium, which reduces the overall weight of the bike.

Who is best suited to a lightweight electric bike?

Lightweight e-bikes are ideal for people who want an easy-to-handle bike that is comfortable to ride. They are particularly suitable for commuters who need to carry their bike up stairs or onto public transport. Most people may also prefer a light e-bike as they are easier to manoeuvre and control. Additionally, those who enjoy leisure riding on the road or gravel paths may find a lightweight e-bike to be more comfortable and fun to ride.

What influence do battery and motor have on the weight of an e-bike?

Undoubtedly, the heaviest components of an e-bike are the motor and its accompanying battery. These essential e-bike components have a significant impact on the overall weight of the e-bike. Depending on the motor power and the watt-hours of the battery, the weights of the components can vary greatly. A 400 watt-hour battery, for example, weighs around 2.5 kilograms, which is significantly lighter than an 800 watt-hour battery that weighs approximately 5 kilograms.

How does Canyon measure the weight of e-bikes?

At Canyon, the weight of all bicycles is measured in frame size M and without mounted pedals. The weight of each electric bike can be found on the product pages.

What are the lightweight Canyon e-bikes available?

E-bikes under 18 kg

Lightweight e-bikes with a total weight of under 18 kilograms are mainly found in the e-road, e-gravel, and e-fitness categories. A low overall weight of your electric bike is particularly beneficial for riding on the road or gravel paths, as it allows you to travel faster from A to B. You can effortlessly tackle steep climbs, and the overall handling of your lightweight e-bike is much easier. In addition, a low overall weight increases the range of your electric bike, meaning you can cover more distance with a single battery charge.

One lightweight electric road bike is our Endurace:ON, which offers a comfortable long-distance geometry and a maximum range of up to 90 kilometres.

If you enjoy riding on gravel paths, our super-light Grail:ON is the right choice for you. With its powerful Bosch motor combined with a 500 Wh battery, the Grail:ON offers up to 120 km of pure e-gravel fun.

If you need a bike for commuting to work, the gym, the park or a ride with friends, then the Roadlite:ON is the right bike for you. Weighing in at 16 kilograms, it is almost as light as a regular bike, but provides you with up to 120 kilometres of support.

E-bikes under 20 kg

For your daily commute to work and back, you need not only a reliable and lightweight e-bike but also numerous features that make your ride as comfortable as possible. The Commuter:ON offers a maximum range of 75 kilometres, is equipped with mudguards and a luggage rack, has integrated lighting, and weighs only 17 kilograms.

E-bikes under 24 kg

City e-bikes are your daily companion in the city or countryside - taking your children to kindergarten, running errands or commuting to work. If you use your bike daily, you are well advised to use a lightweight e-bike. The low weight improves riding comfort and handling significantly. A lightweight e-bike under 24 kilograms allows for greater range with motor assistance, is easier to park and push, and offers a more agile riding experience, especially on steeper climbs. For everyday use and daily commuting to the workplace, e-bikes with a step-through frame are suitable. With this frame shape, the leg does not need to be lifted over a horizontal top tube, making it more comfortable when mounting and dismounting.

The Precede:ON is perfect for these requirements. It is a modern city e-bike that is not only particularly lightweight at around 22 kilograms but is also available as a diamond frame or a step-through frame.
