Emergency operation with E-MTBs: Is it the weight?
Steep terrain, high temperatures, high system weight - e-MTB motors sometimes switch off under high loads. Find out which bike can withstand which weight here.
The rated power of a pedelec motor is set at 250 watts, but the maximum power is significantly higher. Under high loads - steep gradients, high temperatures, high system weight - motors may therefore switch off or down-regulate to prevent damage.
Against this background, manufacturers are also limiting the permissible system weights for their e-mountainbikes. In some cases, these are as low as 115 kilos - with a bike weight of 23 kilos, there is not much left for rider and equipment. Many manufacturers also prohibit the use of trailers for their e-MTBs.
You can download the list with the manufacturer's specifications for the permissible weight free of charge in the download area directly below this article.
