Arguably the newest bike genre, 'e-road' is certainly becoming a thing - with most of the big brands getting in on the act over the past couple of years thanks to stealthy and light motor systems from the likes of Fazua and eBikeMotion. Here are some of our favourites on show at Eurobike 2019...
Stealthy assisted speed: e-bikes that look like road bikes
Lombardo Mugello
The Mugello features Fazua's removable Evation system and an FSA/Shimano Ultegra component mix, with a full carbon monocoque frame.
Wilier Cento10 Hybrid
The updated e-road machine from Wilier now weighs in at just 10.2kg, and has the latest version of the eBikeMotion motor system; this has seen the assist control button move from the top tube to a slightly more ergonomic position to the side of the stem.
De Rosa E-Bike
This showstopper from the Italians features a Bafang motor and battery, with a total system weight of just 2.3kg and the full bike weighing 12kg. It gives you 80km of assisted range, and all the cables are internal.
Kraftstoff E-Rox 10 Eagle
This young Austrian brand make some intriguing bikes, none more so than this e-road machine with their own unique three-spoke wheels. If you want to find out more and can speak German, their website is as quirky as their bikes, arranged in storybook form... check it out here.
Bianchi Aria E-Road
While not so powerful as some chunkier e-road bikes, the Inner Power Drive Systme on Bianchi's Aria E-Road weighs just 3.5kg and you'd barely know it was there. There are three levels of assistance working at 30%, 60% or 100% of the total power.
FSA e-road display bike
As far as we know this bike isn't for sale, but appeared at Eurobike to show off their new e-bike motor system. The build also features an FSA groupset, wheels and cockpit.
They would be self funding if there were. However....we don't want drivers feeling like there is a war on motorist going on do we.....
Yeah, but we want grumbling about Ultegra cranks or Lancs police

I'm wondering if getting a copy of the HC or having to do a short test everytime you bought a car/ or insured it/ or did the MOT and perhaps...
This seems to be my theme ATM but I think almost every infra / legal story here could be ended with the following and have the majority of the...
Firstly, I'm sorry to hear about your nan and I agree that culturally we, in the UK, probably don't engage with healthcare as much as we should....
It is indeed victim blaming but it's not a new one 😐
It sure is!
If this happened to my wife or mother I would make it my personal mission in life to find and torture this person until he accidentally died.
