Everything you ever wanted to know about city bikes
Are city bikes easy to manoeuvre and transport?
The i:SY Compact, with its 20'' wheels and lightweight frame, stands out for its agility in urban environments and its ease of being carried upstairs or in lifts. Its compact design makes it an ideal choice for those living in flats without outdoor space. The Veloe Bosch offers a balance between size, comfort, and stability, with a sturdy frame that does not compromise manoeuvrability. The Multitinker, despite being a cargo bike, remains surprisingly agile thanks to its small wheels and low centre of gravity.
Are city bikes safe for everyday transport?
Yes. They are designed with safety and stability in mind for urban use. They feature powerful brakes (often hydraulic disc brakes), integrated lights, mudguards, and tyres with good grip. In addition, their geometry promotes an upright riding position, improving visibility and control in traffic. Models such as the Multitinker even allow you to carry one or two children safely on the back thanks to compatible accessories such as child seats or safety bars. They are an excellent alternative to cars or public transport in the city.
Where can these urban bikes be used legally?
In Spain, urban e-bikes comply with regulations (assistance up to 25 km/h, maximum output 250 W), so they can be ridden without a number plate or insurance on cycle lanes, urban streets, and shared-use areas. They are treated as conventional bicycles under the law. Of course, they must comply with local traffic regulations and signage, avoiding pavements and pedestrian zones unless expressly permitted. In areas such as central Barcelona, some roads may have specific restrictions, so it is advisable to check with the local council.
How much do these electric city bikes weigh?
The weight varies depending on the model and components. The i:SY Compact weighs around 23 kg, which is relatively light for an electric city bike. The Veloe Bosch and Multitinker are heavier, at over 25–30 kg, especially when fitted with racks, mudguards, or child accessories. Although heavier than a conventional bicycle, the electric assistance more than compensates for this in daily use. The extra weight is only noticeable when climbing stairs or carrying the bike by hand.
