It's worth considering the type of gravel riding that most interests you and the terrain you like to ride, as well as how much support you want, and shortlisting electric gravel bikes that suit that need. But they'll be significantly heavier and need larger batteries, which can affect the bike's handling. They'll get you up and over tricky terrain more easily and with less effort on your part. Then there are the high assistance models, which provide higher torque.
You'll have to do more of the work to keep yourself moving though. The former will help you out on less aggressive gravel rides and will keep the bike's weight down, and so provide more agile handling. What to look for when buying an electric gravel bike What type of riding is the electric gravel bike designed for?īroadly, there are low assist motors like the Mahle ebikemotion system and higher assistance models like those from Bosch. With the drive system removed, there is only a small weight penalty and the now-empty cavity is perfect for whatever you want to carry. Simply slide the battery into place and then insert the whole unit into the downtube or swap it with a cover. Combined in a single unit you'll find an integrated motor and electronics as well as a removable battery. If you'd rather ride a traditional pedal-powered bike you can remove the entire drive system, as the Fazua system houses everything in a Drivepack system. Through the app, any battery system details you might want to know are available at a glance as is all the normal ride-tracking data you'd expect. There's a quality app available for monitoring anything you can think of. The Look e-765 Gravel is a capable e-bike with up to 400W of pedal assist, although geometry and tyre clearance are a little less than some electric gravel bikes. Slightly less gravel-oriented than some options It's designed to work well even at low cadence and provide a sporty riding feel and is paired with a SRAM Force/X01 Eagle mullet drivetrain for serious off-road ability. The chosen power unit for the Cannondale Neo Carbon Lefty 1 is a high torque 250w Bosch Performance Line CX system. Bear in mind that the high front end will drop a little once the suspension sag is set correctly and you're riding the bike. The look is polarising but it's a system tuned for the needs of gravel riding and it works. There's 30mm of air-sprung suspension movement from the Lefty Oliver. In the front is a revised version of the gravel Lefty single-leg suspension fork first introduced on the Slate gravel bike. Cannondale calls the whole system the Kingpin rear suspension system and promises up to 30mm of movement at the saddle. The rear is a passive suspension system using the natural flex in the carbon layup and a thru-axle pivot in the seat stay-seat tube junction. The Cannondale Neo Carbon Lefty 1 builds on the standard Topstone Lefty, with a carbon frame and front and rear suspension. Lefty front hub limits wheel compatibility
