Which speed pedelec to choose in 2026?

How to choose well
The #1 criterion is range
On a speed pedelec, you ride fast and for a long time: the battery makes all the difference. Aim for a wide margin compared to your daily commute — that's what separates the ST1 from the ST7. The rest (motor, equipment) follows your budget and requirements.
