This recently released electric bike could well be the benchmark for 2024 according to specialists.
Back to school is approaching and for many, it is the opportunity to finally get an electric bike for their travels. But finding the ideal machine is not easy. There are many key points to take into account that can be difficult to understand when you are not necessarily used to this type of device. Whether it is the autonomy, the weight of the bike, its type of engine or simply its price, it is easy to get lost. The number of brands and models of electric bikes has also jumped in recent years and those who are not used to them are quickly lost, without having reference brands to hold on to.
That’s why specialists and consumer associations are working hard to suggest the best references to beginners, or simply to those looking for their new electric bike. And one model has recently been crowned with excellent feedback according to the Dutch consumer association Consumentenbond, a true institution in the country of the bicycle, where 30% of daily journeys are made by bicycle and where nearly 54% of inhabitants use their bike at least once a week, according to a study by the Statista website.
This electric bike is the Haibike Trekking 5 500 W, a German model with an ultra-design but above all very high-performance and versatile. Available in black and yellow, it has not necessarily been recommended for its attractive price – it is in fact sold for around 2000 to 2500 euros. The Dutch consumer center Consumentenbond estimates very honestly that“There is no such thing as a more affordable electric bike for everyone. We have a number of recommendations in different price ranges so you can find the best bike for your budget.”
If the consumer center recommends the Haibike Trekking 5 500 W, it is above all for its almost optimal quality-price ratio. According to it, this electric bike has excellent assets and accumulates positive feedback from specialized testers. It excels in particular in the low noise emitted by its Yamaha electric motor, but also its braking assistance and the autonomy of its battery.
The bike is also easy to handle in the city, on trails, or in more difficult conditions. Some specialist sites also designate the Haibike Trekking 5 500 W as ideal for adventurers looking for thrills or simply exploring trails. In France, it is possible to find the Haibike Trekking 5 500 W on the official Haibike.com website, but also several specialist sites such as MonVelo.com, Alltricks or Kelvelo.
