Tomos EB 10 Gloss White at Fatbikeskopen.nl

The white Tomos EB 10 is the lightweight version alongside the anthracite model. Gloss paint gives the compact frame an open, fresh look, while the matte finish keeps the overall appearance more subdued. The specifications remain unchanged: nineteen kilograms, a 345-watt-hour battery, seven gears, V-brakes, and 26-inch wheels on a 39-centimeter frame with a low step-through. Nineteen kilograms is exceptionally light for an electric city bike.

Nineteen kilograms on a city bike

Nineteen kilograms is exceptional for an electric bike; most e-bikes in our range weigh around 34 kilograms. You do not notice the difference while riding, but you do when lifting it over a threshold, putting it on its stand, or placing it in a car trunk. The EB 10 achieves this weight through rim brakes, a compact 39-centimeter frame, and a modest 345-watt-hour battery. Small differences like these matter more the more often you use the bike. It may sound like a detail, but it adds up on your daily route.

Tomos EB 10 range

The 345-watt-hour battery is rated for up to 70 kilometers, measured in the lowest assist mode on flat terrain. Realistically, expect forty to fifty kilometers. Because of its low weight, it gets more out of the battery than a heavier bike with the same battery would: keeping nineteen kilograms moving requires little energy. Charging takes four hours, short enough to top it up during the day without having to wait all evening. A battery lasts longer if you do not routinely run it completely flat and charge it indoors during winter. The stated range is always a test value, so expect somewhat less in practice.

V-brakes and seven gears

The low weight is partly due to rim brakes instead of disc brakes. They are lightweight, inexpensive to maintain, and can be adjusted yourself. You notice the downside in the rain: rim brakes need a little longer to grip a wet rim, and they wear the rim down as well. At nineteen kilograms, that is less of an issue than with a heavy bike. Seven gears provide a wide enough range for flat terrain.

Compact 26-inch frame

The 39-centimeter frame is small, and the recommended rider height ranges from approximately 1.60 to 1.95 meters. The 26-inch wheels are smaller than the 28-inch wheels on most EB models, making the bike more maneuverable in a busy city center. In return, you sacrifice some smooth rolling on longer stretches. The low step-through makes getting on and off easy, and the maximum total weight is 150 kilograms.

Who is this version for?

For people who regularly need to lift their bike, shorter riders who find most EB models too large, and anyone who prefers a light color over dark gray. Things to bear in mind: 345 watt-hours is limited, rim brakes are noticeable in the rain, and white paint shows street dirt more quickly than a darker version. For short city rides, these drawbacks matter less. Consider where you will store the bike, as that often matters more than the specifications. For commuting within built-up areas, this equipment is more than adequate.

Ordering from Fatbikeskopen.nl

You only need to lift nineteen kilograms once to understand why it matters, and colors are best judged in person.

If you order online, the bike will be delivered to your home ready to ride. There is a three-year warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on the components and battery. Upon delivery, the bike is assembled and adjusted before it arrives at your door. You have fourteen days after delivery to take it for a test ride.
