E-bike or electric skateboard: the comparison

An electrically assisted bike, limited to 250 W in Europe, is built for distance and the comfort of assisted pedalling. The Stern', in 1000 W or 2000 W, focuses on compactness, with no pedalling effort at all.

The guide

E-bike or Stern': the right choice for the city

E-bike or electric skateboard: two different approaches

The choice depends mainly on your storage constraints and your actual daily journey.

Compactness: the main argument for urban electric mobility

An e-bike, even a folding one, is still bulkier than an electric skateboard when it comes to storing it in a flat, an office or a car boot. The Stern', 17 kg without the backpack battery (20 kg for the Stern' Urban, integrated battery included), can be carried by hand, or with the battery backpack on your back for the removable-battery versions.

For commuting

For a commute of a few kilometres, the Stern' spares you the chain and the regular mechanical maintenance of an e-bike. Over long distances, however, the bike keeps the advantage: you can pedal it for a long time.
