What is an electric bike for men?
Overview of everything that can characterize an electric bike for men: frame shape, saddle, morphological adaptation...
Are open-frame electric bikes only for women?
An electric bike for men is often equipped with a high frame. But in reality, the openness of the frame has little to do with the gender of the rider. In fact, while a bike with an open frame is easier to ride for women who wear dresses or skirts, it can be used by men. Low step-through bikes are therefore practical for gentlemen wearing suits or using their electric bikes in urban settings, where they frequently have to get off and on their EAB. This frame shape is also more comfortable to straddle if you are carrying your child on a carrier.
Features of an electric bicycle frame for men
The real characteristics of an electric bike frame for men lie more in a particular geometry, which suits male morphologies. For example, the horizontal tube is wider, as men's bus is generally longer than women's, which increases the overall size of the frame. Men's electric road bikes also have longer handlebars, to accommodate men's broader shoulders and thus avoid back and trapezius pain.
The saddle of an electric bike for men
Another important element on a male electric bike is the seat. A man's pelvis is not as wide as a woman's and the nerve endings in the male seat are located lower than in women. This explains why we need a saddle adapted to both types of morphology. The saddle of a man's bike is therefore narrower and longer than that of a woman's bike.
What are the different types of electric bikes for men?
All electric bikes can be used by both men and women. At Upway you'll find a wide selection of inexpensive men's electric bikes, including reconditioned VAEs at low prices, such as men's electric bikes. Decathlon men's electric bikes Intersport. Here's an overview of the different categories of VAE.
Urban electric bike for men
A electric city bike for men is designed to facilitate all your urban travel. Thanks to the pedal assist, you can navigate the city jungle with ease! If you stop frequently, wear a suit, or ride with your child in a baby seat in the back, you can opt for an electric city bike for men with an open frame.
Among the most popular city bikes, we find for example the Kalkhoff IMAGE 1.B MOVE, a high-end bike that replaces the old Kalkhoff Agattu model. Easy to straddle, it allows you to reach high speed in one pedal stroke thanks to its Bosch Active Line motor with 40 Nm of torque. The battery power is available in 500 Wh or 400 Wh format, allowing for over 60 km of autonomous riding. The frame is available in four different sizes to suit all body types.
Men's all-terrain electric bike
If your journeys involve both town and country, then we recommend you look for a electric mountain bike for men (or "VTC électrique"). These VAEs are equipped to facilitate your city trips (luggage rack, mudguard...), but also to offer you pleasant outings on trails when you want.
If you are looking for a cheap electric bike for men in this category, the Decathlon Riverside 500E may be the right one! This electric VTC has a frame adapted to men's morphologies, 3 levels of pedaling assistance, a brushless motor with 42 Nm torque and a 418 Wh battery. Its semi-high handlebars (620 mm) in aluminum offer a dynamic driving with a sporty and comfortable position. Its motor placed in the rear wheel allows a superior acceleration capacity, perfect for restarting at the quarter turn after a stop at the red light for example.
MTB electric for men
For the more athletic riders who want to venture out on the steepest trails, the electric mountain bike for men is recommended! These bikes are designed to absorb shocks, face the steepest climbs and descents, and brake in emergency situations. The pedaling assistance allows you to explore the most rugged places without limits.
Among the best MTB electric for men is the model Sunn Flash S1. This semi-rigid mountain bike is suitable for all types of mountain bikers. It has a Shimano E-7000 motor to give strength to your pedal stroke in all circumstances. Its integrated 500 Wh battery allows you to cover a hundred kilometers.
Electric road bike for men
Finally, for those who love long rides on the road, the electric road bike for men is just right. The electric assistance provides a precious help to facilitate your climbs and allows you to extend the distances covered. Road bikes are particularly recognizable thanks to their slim tires and their specially shaped handlebars, which offer a sporty position. They allow the cyclist to have an aerodynamic riding position.
The model Lapierre E-Sensium 300 is a very good electric road bike for men. It has a geometry specially designed for men, a compact and light motor so that it doesn't interfere with the pleasure of riding at high speeds and a 250 Wh battery perfectly integrated into the down tube. The weight of the bike is only 14.3 kg!
How to choose your electric bike for men
The best electric bike for men is the one you feel comfortable on! It must correspond to your type of driving and your morphology. To choose the right bike, you should also consider the weight of the bike you want to buy.
Indeed, EABs weigh more than muscle bikes and this element is to be taken into account if you intend to carry your bike (for example to climb your stairwell). You should know that the average weight of an electric bike is between 19 and 28 kg (compared to 20 kg for a traditional bike). If necessary, opt for a light electric bike for men, with for example the Le Sport model from the brand Le Vélo Mad (18,5 kg) or the C3 from Cowboy (18.2 kg).
But one of the most important criteria for buying the best electric bike for men is undoubtedly its size, which must correspond to your morphology. Frame sizes are not standard and can vary depending on the type of bike you choose. Don't hesitate to use the Upway size filter, which will enable you to find bikes adapted to your size in just one click.
Our maintenance tips for men's electric bikes
To increase the durability of your electric bicycle, you should maintain it well. Each time you use your bike, make sure it is kept clean, especially if you ride MTB in muddy or sandy areas. The transmission should also be kept well lubricated and the tires properly inflated. On a regular basis, check the wear of the transmission elements (chain, sprockets, chainring), the cables, but also your brake pads.
More specifically on electric models, it is possible to optimize the life of the battery by taking care of it. Thus, it is advised to disconnect it when you do not use your EV for a long time or if you store it in a cold and/or unsheltered place.
What useful accessories should you use to complete your men's electric bike?
Although accessories add to the weight of the bike, they can also become indispensable in your daily life. For example, a luggage rack is very useful if you want to carry a few things with you or attach a child seat to take the little ones to the nursery or school with one pedal stroke. If your bike doesn't have one, it can also be important to add mudguards to avoid staining your bike.
For your safety, choose a lighting and, even if it is not mandatory for adults, buy a helmet a helmet to protect your head in case of a fall. Finally, to protect your electric bike from theftinvest in a good anti-theft device.
