Faster than a Hybrid or Comfort bike, more durable than a Road Bike! What is it? It's an Adventure Hybrid Bike!! NOW IN ELECTRIC Shimano STEPS Mid Drive System
Top Three Electric Mid Drive System: Shimano, Bosch and Yamaha are the top three mid-drive electric bike systems in the world. Mid Drive electric systems are the lightest and most efficient with the best ride feel and balance. Make sure your next electric bike has Shimano STEPS MID DRIVE electric motor system.
These are like road bikes with trail capable tires, flat bars and high-rise stems. More comfort and control than a regular road bike. Greater capability than a hybrid bike with wider tires and performance geometry. Lighter than similar priced mountain style electric bikes.
Adventure Hybrids AKA FlatBar Gravel Electric Bikes tackle virtually anything on a bike path, dirt road or groomed trail system. The Motobecane Elite eAdventure comforts you with the superior ride of a precision engineered hydroformed Aluminum frame and Comfy Front Suspension Fork and durable, quality Genuine Shimano shifting components.
Ready for up to Rougher Urban or Groomed Trails: This Elite eAdventure has an external battery, longer travel Rockshox forks and high traction, top rated MAXXIS Tires, plus ~$500 value tubeless compatible WTB TCS Rims (see tubeless info in FAQ, addtional steps/parts required)
This page is for the 9 Speed Elite eAdventure, It is NOT the LTD version. The 8 Speed Elite eAdventure LTD is upgraded to internal battery, front/rear lighting. The LTD is city/neighborhood/commuter focused with front/rear fenders.
Wide Tires Fit : clearance for up to 29x2.3" (most tire brands)
Best Mid Drive Electric Bike Deal: Compare to electric bikes from Trek (Dual Sport), Specialized Cosmo or Giant Flat bar ebikes with disc brakes selling for around $2600+. The Elite eAdventure is the ideal combination of range capability, durability, speed and comfort at a fantastic price.
Global Service Network: Shimano has the largest global service network in the world. Make sure your next electric bike has Shimano STEPS electric motor system.
