Gravel Ebikes

There are electric gravel bikes that share many characteristics of the electric road bike, with the advantage of being able to incorporate wider and more versatile tires. Gravel wheels also have wider tires internally and the pressures used are lower, providing stability, traction, safety and comfort for normal gravel use conditions.

The greater friction and rolling resistance of gravel tires, compared to the thin tires of a road bike, represents a disadvantage that we could consider minor, if we have the assistance of the electric motor and its additional power. In any case, the electric bicycle may not be the ideal type of bike when looking for particularly high average speeds on asphalt or trails, typical of conventional light road bicycles, especially if the terrain is flat. Climbing steep slopes, precisely the opposite will happen, since the electric bike will allow us to climb at average speeds that are unthinkable for almost any cyclist.

It must be remembered that the assistance disappears when speeds exceed 25 km/h, on this type of bicycle, as a legal requirement. In addition, the motor cannot exceed a power of 250 watts and the assistance must and can only work when pedaling.

Along with the wider tires, gravel ebikes share other characteristics with the rest of gravel bikes, such as their geometries, wider handlebars with greater opening ( flare ) to increase comfort and control, specific groupsets for gravel in some cases, greater possibilities to accommodate cargo items such as bags and luggage racks, etc.

Most of the advantages of an electric gravel bike are similar to those of other assisted bikes, such as being able to extend the distances of our routes and push our limits, climb mountain passes that would otherwise be beyond our limits, control the level of effort of the cyclist, allowing cyclists of different physical conditions to ride together, etc.

The motors and batteries of these bicycles are usually lighter than those of electric MTB bicycles. In this way, high-end gravel models are achieved, and a carbon frame, with weights of about 13 kilograms, such as the Mondraker Dusty. Even so, thanks to its light weight and optimized engine management, surprising range figures are obtained.

With an aluminum frame and carbon fork, as well as cheaper builds.
