Test judgement
With its coarse studded tyres, the Trekking Pro also promises good performance on field and forest paths. The pedelec rolls on a stable track and can be easily manoeuvred around tight corners. Stiff aluminium mudguards and the sturdy pannier rack round off the coherent overall package.

Test judgement
There is no more stable way to mount a pannier rack: The carrier struts are welded to the rear frame. This means that the luggage sits securely, a clear plus in terms of riding safety. The Cube offers high riding comfort and light-footed handling at a very good price-performance ratio.

Test judgement
A special feature of the Vado is the drive system. It comes from Brose, runs extremely quietly and therefore fits in well with the discreet appearance of the Specialized. The pedelec rolls manoeuvrable and rides dynamically and agilely thanks to its 27.5-inch tyres and powerful motor. A bench for sporty touring cyclists.

Test judgement
Comfort-orientated touring fully with very good handling characteristics, even off-road. On rough terrain, the full suspension ensures good traction and safe, easy-to-control handling. However, other bikes are better suited for extended bike tours due to the limited luggage load.
