Whether you're riding through the hills of the Peak District, touring long distances, or commuting daily, a carbon e-bike offers a lighter, stiffer, and more comfortable ride. Thanks to its low weight, you can reach higher speeds more easily, while the electric assistance helps you maintain a steady pace effortlessly. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at carbon electric bikes. Why are more and more sporty and recreational cyclists choosing a carbon frame? And what makes a carbon e-bike so appealing?
Why choose a carbon e-bike?
Carbon has long been the preferred material for professional cyclists. It is lighter than aluminium, making the bike easier to handle and quicker to accelerate. A carbon road bike is known for its stiffness and excellent riding characteristics. These advantages are now increasingly found in electric bikes, providing noticeable benefits.
A CUBE carbon bike is easily recognisable by its name, which includes C:62 or C:68. The "C" stands for carbon, while the number indicates the percentage of carbon fibres in the frame. The higher the number, the more carbon it contains, resulting in a stiffer and lighter frame.
The benefits of a carbon electric bike:
- Lower weight: Carbon frames are significantly lighter than aluminium, making the bike more agile, even with a battery.
- Vibration damping: Carbon absorbs micro-vibrations, providing extra comfort on long rides or rough terrain.
- Durability: Carbon is rust-free and maintains its quality for a long time with proper maintenance.
Who is a carbon electric bike for?
Do you like getting the most out of every ride, combining speed and comfort? Then a carbon e-bike is exactly what you need. Whether you ride for sport or cover long distances, the lightweight frame makes riding more efficient and comfortable while requiring less effort. A carbon frame is ideal for daily commuters who want speed, convenience, and a sleek design. It’s also perfect for long touring rides or cycling holidays. If you're already used to a regular carbon road bike or gravel bike, switching to an electric version will feel familiar - only with an extra boost when you need it.
