Coboc Creates. | 11.11.2024
We'll show you what you should look out for when buying and which models are ideal for your commute.
Are you tired of getting stuck in traffic jams every morning on your way to work or using overcrowded public transport? A commuter e-bike offers you a relaxed and environmentally friendly alternative for getting from A to B quickly.
Why is an e-bike worthwhile for commuting?
There are several reasons why you should commute to work on an e-bike.
1. faster on the road: you avoid traffic jams and often reach your destination faster than by car or public transport.
2. environmentally friendly: A commuter e-bike is almost 12 times more climate-friendly than a car and helps to improve air quality in the city.
3. lower costs: You don’t have to pay for gas or parking and the operating costs are minimal compared to a car.
4. less stress: you keep moving, but experience less physical exertion thanks to the electric assistance, especially on inclines or longer distances.
5. flexibility: With an e-bike, you are independent of timetables and can make spontaneous detours.
What should i look out for when buying a commuter e-bike?
Battery: A sufficiently powerful battery ensures that you can easily cover longer commuting distances without annoying charging stops.
Weight: A lightweight e-bike is easier to handle and can be transported on public transport or in stairwells without much effort.
Accessories: Practical features such as mudguards, racks and lights are essential on a high-quality e-bike for commuters, especially in bad weather.

Which commuter e-bike suits you best?
Stylish, lightweight, safe – all this and more makes our e-bikes a must-have for commuters. Which model suits you best?
Vesterbro (DMT, TPZ): The city e-bike makes commuting easier than ever, as this gem weighs in at just 15.6 kg. And even if it rains, you don’t have to worry. Stylishly integrated mudguards with bag holders make the Vesterbro weatherproof. Our timeless commuter e-bike is available as a DMT with a classic diamond frame and as a TPZ with a modern trapezoid frame.
Kallio (RGD, CMF): One comfort please, with extra riding fun. This is exactly what you experience with the 17.2 kg low-entry Kallio. Available as a sporty RGD or comfortable CMF version, this commuter e-bike impresses with the ideal blend of practicality and style.
Skye and Skye Step: With these stylish and 18.9 kg lightweight e-bikes with Bosch mid-motor, you can effortlessly master even steeper routes or off-road paths on your way to work. Wide tires and a RockShox suspension fork give our Light SUV an extra dose of comfort and stability.
Merano (DMT, TPZ): For commuters looking for versatility, our 15.6 kg lightweight Merano is just the thing. The 47 mm wide tires provide comfort and grip and the wide handlebars with ergonomic grips also ensure a pleasant riding experience. Just like the Vesterbro, you can choose between a diamond or trapezoidal frame for the Merano.
Of course, we have also taken the practical aspect into account when designing our e-bikes and equipped our models with bag holders or luggage racks. This means you have enough space for your laptop and can easily take food and drinks with you to work.

Frequently asked questions about commuter e-bikes.
What is the best way to look after and maintain my commuter e-bike?
Regular maintenance of an e-bike includes checking and cleaning the chain, checking the tire pressure and the battery. To ensure that it remains ready for use for a long time, it should be inspected annually by a specialist dealer.
How often do I need to charge the battery of my Coboc commuter e-bike?
Coboc models have a range of around 70 to 100 kilometers per charge. This means that our commuter e-bikes are suitable for short distances of less than 10 km, but also for medium and longer distances. For example, if you have to commute around 20 km per day on your e-bike, you would charge the battery after around 3 to 5 days. Factors such as gradients, your riding style and the weather can also affect the battery life.
Can I ride a commuter e-bike without electric assistance?
Thanks to its low weight, you can also ride a Coboc commuter e-bike without electric assistance. Especially on flat stretches or if you want to save energy, you can simply switch it off and use our models like a normal bike.
