Electric bike ECONO Apes CITY EER4 2026
The perfect city electric bike with a reliable motor, 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. Due 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 cyclists, as well as those who want complete control in unpredictable city traffic. The upright seating position ensures that you will arrive at your destination relaxed, and the bike will be your favorite companion for daily errands and commuting to work.

How does the ECONO Apes CITY differ from the SUV model?
If you are choosing 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 speed sensor. This combination provides exceptionally smooth and effortless assistance, which is ideal for city cruising. The SUV model is powered by a more powerful Bafang H405B motor with a torque sensor. This measures the pressure on the pedals and dynamically adjusts the power, which is especially useful when overcoming steep hills and more demanding terrain.
Equipment and posture: The CITY version offers complete urban comfort with smooth tires, an adjustable stem, and an upright, relaxed cycling posture. The SUV version, on the other hand, encourages a more active posture and features tires with a rugged tread, ready for "off-road" adventures and diverse surfaces.

Reliable Bafang drive with optimal torque
Hidden in the rear hub is a proven and durable Bafang H305 motor with a voltage of 36 V and a nominal 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 speed sensor, the motor offers exceptionally responsive starts at traffic lights and quiet operation. Since the assistance system works based on rotation rather than pressure (as in the SUV version), the ride will always be smooth and will not require excessive exertion – you just turn the pedals, and the bike does most of the work.

Smart and replaceable battery tailored to you
Power is provided by a reliable Comtron ELK smart battery, developed and assembled by us. A major advantage of the system is the complete interchangeability of batteries within the series. You can choose between three capacities, depending on your actual range needs:
Available options are 520 Wh (15 Ah), 700 Wh (20 Ah), and the largest 800 Wh (23 Ah). The battery is elegantly integrated into the down tube of the frame, but it can be locked and quickly removed for charging inside your home. An original Comtron 2A (4-pin) fast charger is included.

Compact color display with Bluetooth connectivity
You will monitor all key data on the highly readable, color Bafang DP C080 LCD display. This intuitive interface allows you to easily choose between five levels of assistance: ECO (Green), TOUR (Blue), SPORT (Indigo), SPORT+ (Orange), and BOOST (Purple).
The display is technologically advanced; built-in Bluetooth technology allows for a wireless connection to the Bafang Go App (for Android and iOS). Via your mobile phone, you can monitor diagnostics, cell voltage status (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 paths are not always perfect, which is why the ECONO Apes CITY is equipped with SR Suntour NEX-E25 Coil 26'' front suspension forks, offering 75 mm of travel for comfortable shock absorption when riding over manhole covers or cobblestones.
Contact with the ground is maintained by tires with a smooth, city-optimized tread: Schwalbe DELTA CRUISER PLUS (26x2.0 / 50-559). They feature PunctureGuard (50 EPI) protection and a reinforced TwinSkin sidewall, which drastically reduces the chance of a flat tire. They are built on strong 13G spokes (36 holes) and robust REVO D rims.

Hydraulic brakes and precise Shimano derailleur
Traffic safety comes first. Reliable stopping, even with a loaded bike, is ensured by 2-piston Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic disc brakes in combination with large brake rotors with a diameter of 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear.
Power transmission 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, thanks to the ideal gear range, you will always find the right pedaling cadence on every small incline.

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