Carbon Electric Bike

What are the advantages of carbon e-bikes?

The carbon fiber and electric motor combination that gives the carbon e-bike its name has many advantages:

• Carbon fiber tubes and frames can be molded into any conceivable shape – resulting in slick, modern and sporty frames without unsightly welds.
• Carbon fiber is extremely light. As such, carbon e-bikes are often lighter than their aluminum counterparts.
• Carbon e-bikes are incredibly robust and offer high torsional rigidity. This means that their frames hardly warp at all, even under heavy loads, allowing them to easily convert your pedaling power into speed.
• The sturdiness of an e-bike with a carbon frame positively impacts the bike’s performance when riding.

What’s the difference between a carbon e-bike and an aluminum e-bike?

E-bikes made from carbon fiber have a lot in common with those made from aluminum, especially in terms of stability and durability. While both can handle heavy loads, there are still several notable differences between the two.

In terms of distortion-resistance, carbon e-bikes have the edge. Carbon fiber frames twist and warp less than aluminum frames while riding. The best carbon electric bikes are also lighter than aluminum e-bikes.

What should you consider before buying a carbon e-bike?

Choosing and buying a new bike is difficult, because there are so many great choices out there. With a carbon e-bike from Canyon, you’re guaranteed high-quality and comfortable rides for years to come. That said, there are still a few things you should be aware of when it comes to choosing the best carbon electric bike for your needs:

• Carbon fiber frames and parts are sensitive to pressure, so any screws must only be tightened using a torque wrench. Check the instruction manual for your model to find the appropriate type of torque wrench to use.
• Standard grease is not appropriate for installing screws on carbon e-bikes or additional parts made from carbon fiber. Instead, always use a special mounting paste.
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents on carbon e-bikes. Instead, it’s better to use a soft cloth, lukewarm water and special bicycle cleaners. You can then apply special waxes or carbon care products once your bike is clean.
