Bicycles and E-Bikes: Target Groups and Equipment

The areas of use of bicycles and e-bikes are extremely diverse. In cycling, bicycles and e-bikes are used in competitions. In everyday life, bicycles and e-bikes are also popular as a means of transportation. Cycling benefits from bicycles and e-bikes alike. E-bikes significantly expand the areas of use of bicycles in everyday life. Both in cycling and in everyday life, bicycles and e-bikes are very useful.

Bicycles and e-bikes are now designed for different target groups. There are special models for men, women, or children, which differ in frame geometry, size, and equipment. While bicycles for men often have a higher top tube, models for women are available with a step-through frame. Children's bikes are built lighter and smaller to promote safety and riding fun. E-bikes are also now available for men, women, or children and adapt to their respective needs.

In everyday life, cargo bikes, folding bikes, city bikes, and urban bikes are especially common. Cargo bikes are ideal for transporting groceries or children. Folding bikes are space-saving and perfect for commuters who use public transport. City bikes offer comfort and everyday usability on short distances. Urban bikes combine urban elegance with practical features like fenders and racks. All of these bikes are available both as classic bicycles and with e-bike drive.

In leisure, gravel, mountain biking, and trekking are particularly popular. Gravel bikes allow riding on paved and unpaved paths and are extremely versatile. Mountain biking is designed for challenging trails and off-road routes, demanding riding technique and endurance. Trekking bikes are the perfect companions for multi-day tours with luggage. Here too, e-bikes expand the possibilities and make longer distances or steeper climbs more accessible.

In competitive cycling, specialized bikes such as road bikes, track bikes, singlespeed, fitness bikes, cyclocross, and triathlon bikes are used. Road bikes are designed for maximum speed and aerodynamics. Track bikes are optimized for use on velodromes and come without gears and brakes. Singlespeed bikes are particularly low-maintenance and common in urban areas as well as on tracks. Fitness bikes combine sportiness with everyday usability. Cyclocross bikes are designed for mixed terrain and obstacle races. Triathlon bikes feature an aggressive riding position and aerodynamic fairings.

E-bikes have found a firm place both in everyday life and in sports. In everyday life, they make commuting easier and riding with loads or on inclines effortless. In sports, e-mountain bikes enable challenging tours and extend the riders' endurance. E-bikes are also gaining importance in competitive cycling, for example as support vehicles or for training. The areas of use of bicycles and e-bikes are constantly being expanded by advancing technology.

With bicycles and e-bikes, a fundamental distinction is made between two drive types: chain and belt. The classic chain drive is proven, efficient, and affordable, but requires regular maintenance and wear checks. The belt drive – such as the Gates Carbon belt – is maintenance-free, quiet, and clean, but requires a compatible frame and hub gearing. There are three main categories of gearing: Derailleur gearing is light, affordable, and offers a wide gear range, but is more susceptible to wear. Hub gearing is robust, weather-independent, and low-maintenance, but heavier and with fewer gear options. Gearbox gearing – such as from Pinion or Rohloff – is extremely durable and low-maintenance, but more expensive and heavier. Combinations are also possible: A belt drive is almost always combined with hub gearing or gearbox gearing, while chain drive works with both derailleur gearing and hub gearing. E-bikes mostly use derailleur gearing or hub gearing, with mid-drive motors often being tuned to a special e-bike derailleur gearing.
