DO YOU NEED SPECIAL TIRES FOR E-BIKES?
For standard ebikes with assistance up to 25 km/h specific tires are not required by law. But with higher average speeds and loads when compared to non ebikes, we recommend certain tires as E-Bike Ready 25, which are ideally suited to cope with the increased demands an e-bike asks of its tires.
Primairly these are the Marathon and Energizer series, as well as the Balloon Bike tires Ben Apple and Big Ben.
WHAT TO BEAR IN MIND WITH SPEED E-BIKES?
For speed e-bikes, a specilist tire is legally required. Tires with ECE-R75 authorization valid throughout the European Union are the simplest solution in this case. All of our Energizer tires have the mark of conformity and are approved for vehicles up to 50 km/h.
THERE ARE SOME MARATHON SIZES WITH THE ECE-R75 MARK OF CONFORMITY. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENERGIZER AND MARATHON?
The rubber compound: Marathon tires are particularly known for their extremely high mileage. The mileage of the Energizer models is comparable, but their main feature is their grip and hence the safety at high cornering speeds.
