ECONO Apes CITY EER4 2026 Electric Bike
The perfect city electric bike with a reliable motor, a smart color display, and geometry for maximum comfort.

Who is the ECONO Apes CITY electric bike best suited for?
The ECONO Apes CITY model is thoughtfully designed for comfortable city riding and relaxed exploration of surrounding paths. Thanks to its specific "Low-step" (unisex) frame design without a high top tube and 26 or 28-inch wheels, it offers exceptional stability, safe stopping, and predictable handling.
It is an absolutely perfect choice for less experienced or more cautious riders, as well as those who want complete control in unpredictable city traffic. The upright riding position ensures you arrive at your destination relaxed, making the bike your favorite companion for daily errands and commuting to work.

How does the ECONO Apes CITY differ from the SUV model?
If you are hesitating between the two versions, the key differences lie in their intended use and drive technology:
Motor and sensors: The CITY model uses a Bafang H305 motor and a pedal rotation sensor (speed sensor). This combination ensures extremely smooth and effortless assistance, ideal for city cruising. The SUV model, on the other hand, is powered by a more powerful Bafang H405B motor with a torque sensor. This measures pedal pressure and dynamically adjusts power, which comes into its own when tackling steep climbs and more demanding terrains.
Equipment and riding position: The CITY version offers complete urban comfort with slick tires, an adjustable stem, and an upright, relaxed riding position. The SUV version, on the other hand, puts the rider in a more active position and features knobby tires that are ready for "off-road" adventures and diverse terrains.

Reliable Bafang drive with optimal torque
Housed in the rear hub is the proven and durable Bafang H305 motor with a voltage of 36 V and a rated power of 250 W. The bike assists you while pedaling up to the legally permitted speed of up to 25 km/h (limited).
With 50 Nm of torque and a rotation sensor (speed sensor), the motor offers extremely responsive starts at traffic lights and quiet operation. Since the assistance system works based on rotation rather than pressure (as with the SUV version), the ride will always be smooth and won't require excessive exertion – you just turn the pedals, and the bike does most of the work.

Smart and replaceable battery tailored to your needs
Power is supplied by the reliable, locally developed and assembled Comtron ELK smart battery. A major advantage of the system is the complete interchangeability of batteries within the series. You can choose from three capacities based on your actual range requirements:
Available capacities are 520 Wh (15 Ah), 700 Wh (20 Ah), and the largest 800 Wh (23 Ah). The battery is elegantly integrated into the frame's down tube, but can be locked and quickly removed for charging indoors. A 2A standard charger is included, with the option to upgrade to a 4A fast charger.

Compact color display with Bluetooth connectivity
You can monitor all key data on the highly readable, color LCD display Bafang DP C080. This intuitive interface allows you to easily choose from up to five levels of assistance: ECO (Green), TOUR (Blue), SPORT (Indigo), SPORT+ (Orange), and BOOST (Purple).
The display is technologically advanced; the built-in Bluetooth technology allows for a wireless connection to the Bafang Go App (for Android and iOS). Through your mobile phone, you can track diagnostics, state of charge (SOC), calories burned, and even activate Walk Assist up to a speed of 2.5 km/h.

Comfort and smoothness: Suspension and city tires
City streets and bike lanes are not always perfect, which is why the ECONO Apes CITY is equipped with an SR Suntour NEX-E25 Coil 26'' front suspension fork, offering 75 mm of travel to comfortably absorb bumps when riding over manholes or cobblestones.
Contact with the ground is maintained by tires with a slick, city-optimized tread: Schwalbe DELTA CRUISER PLUS (26x2.0 / 50-559). They feature PunctureGuard (50 EPI) protection and a reinforced TwinSkin sidewall profile, drastically reducing the chance of a flat tire. They are built on strong 13G spokes (36 holes) and robust REVO D rims.

Hydraulic brakes and a precise Shimano derailleur
Safety in traffic comes first. Reliable stopping, even with a loaded bike, is ensured by 2-piston Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic disc brakes combined with large brake rotors with a diameter of 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear.
Power transfer is managed by a proven 9-speed Shimano system. The Shimano Altus RD-M2000 SGS rear derailleur and Shimano Acera CS-HG201 (11-36T) cassette offer flexibility. Even though you are in the city, the ideal gear range ensures you will always find the right pedaling cadence on any minor climb.

Premium ergonomic and urban equipment
The ECONO Apes CITY shines in details that make everyday life easier. A perfect, spine-friendly posture is ensured by an adjustable stem (0°-90°) with a truly wide, swept-back handlebar (width: 680 mm, sweep: 37°) and ergonomic Velo VLG-1505 grips. You will ride on an exceptionally comfortable Velo VL-6574 saddle.
At the back, a durable aluminum ECONO 29’’ Boost rear rack with the MIK system ("Click and go") awaits you for lightning-fast attachment of baskets or bags. For visibility and protection, you'll find the powerful Satelite C19 LED light (DC 8V-58V), an ECONO WD216 rear light, and wide PVC fenders that will shield you from puddles.
