E-bike buying advice
Buying a bike is first and foremost a question of type. In order for a harmonious relationship to develop between bike and rider, the two must be as compatible as possible. The situation is particularly complex if the new bike is to be a pedelec. MYBIKE clarifies the most important questions and helps you choose the right partner.

Test: Lemo One
Double role! Bicycle or e-bike? The Lemo One wants to be both. The MYBIKE test in issue 2/2023 shows how well the metamorphosis from organic bike to pedelec and back works.
Motor test: Specialised vs Lemo
Both are light and small - but fundamentally different: two current low-assist engines on the test bench.
Urwahn Waldwiesel.E
Steel frame in carbon look: the gravel pedelec with printed parts caters to special tastes. With its seat tube-less steel frame, the Waldwiesel.E is a real eye-catcher. Can the bike do more than a gravel pedelec with a classic diamond frame? The test, now in MYBIKE 2/2023.

Long-sleeved vests in the test
The body only performs to its full potential within a narrow temperature range. Above all, the layer closest to the skin is crucial for comfort and performance. Cycling tours in the cold are a real challenge for functional textiles. The eleven long-sleeved vests in the test show how differently the manufacturers deal with this.

Torque spanner in the test
Just a moment ago, the handlebars could be turned in the stem. But just one turn of the Allen key later, it crunches in the carbon fibre. Anyone who thinks they have a feel for the tightening torques for bicycle parts is mistaken. Torque spanners help you to adhere exactly to the specified values. MYBIKE tested twelve models for the workshop and on the road.
