Ecobike is one of the first e-bike manufacturers in Europe. This means company has a many years of experience in electric bikes manufacturing and it can offer an ideal price vs quality ratio. World-class components assembled carefully with love for bicycles in Poland. All these advantages gained trust across the entire European continent. Innovation and versatility are the main strands of the Ecobike philosophy. Gravel is a road bike whose possibilities do not end with the asphalt. When we saw the increase in popularity of this type of bike around the world, we had no doubt that we wanted to propose our - electric - vision of such equipment. ** Forest ** consistently follows the gravel concept, but in its DNA, it is still a full-size Ecobike. The inconspicuous and minimalist design deceives the senses, but it hides everything that an e-bike should contain. A light structure based on an aluminum frame and proven equipment are the basis of a bike that must cope with even very long trips. The equipment includes solid components, starting with the Microshift derailleur, which, in combination with a long-span cassette, will allow you to navigate even highly varied terrain. To keep the bike safe in the toughest conditions, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are also present. A characteristic element of gravel are tires - we used CST with a tread, which will work well on unpaved and wet surfaces. An important element for expeditions are inserts for accessories located on the frame and fork. The electric assist system, which is discreetly placed on the bike, is based on Bafang technology. A small motor mounted in the rear hub provides 250W of power. The 349 Wh battery is completely hidden in the frame. The sporty character of the Forest is emphasized by the characteristic display, the control buttons of which are arranged in two places, so that you can operate the system regardless of how you place your hands on the steering wheel at any given moment.

Battery capacity - is measured in Wh (watt hours) or Ah (amper hours) and usually correlates with the maximum distance bike can cover with a fully charged battery. More capacity - longer range.
Maximum range - Specifies the maximum route length you can travel on one full battery charge. The distance depends on the rider's weight, battery capacity, weather, terrain difficulty as well as the level of selected support mode. Please note that over the years of use - battery capacity will become lower. This is a normal chemical process of Li-Ion battery cell aging. Improper use and/or modifications may reduce the maximum range.
Bike weight - Total weight of all bicycle components - engine, battery, frame and accessories. EcoBike electric bicycles have the lowest weight-power ratio.
Engine power - The nominal power of the electric bicycle's engine, which is legal in most EU countries.
Maximum engine power - The power of the electric bicycle's engine, which can be produced without speed limiter and may require replacing some parts to handle the voltages/amperage for the desired power. Maximum engine power cannot be selected by the user without making some hardware/software modifications. Removing limiter may require to register bike as an e-moped. In such case, different road laws applied as well. Improper modifications can lead to a damage of the e-bike system and nor the seller, nor manufacturer will be responsible for any losses or injuries.
Lifespan - stated number can be lower if stored and used improperly
Maximum speed is up to 25 km/h, which can be maintained by the engine. Once speed limit is reached - engine shuts off and you have to pedal it to reach higher speeds. Engine only works while pedaling (pedal assist). Bike does not have a speed lever. Support levels are selected on the controller on handlebar.
Warranty - All EcoBike bikes have 2-year warranty for a bike frame and parts. Battery has 1-year warranty. For other warranty terms and exceptions please contact us or you can find it on our webpage.
IMPORTANT (last updated: 2023-03-16): Despite Covid-19 situation in most countries have normalized – the effects of this pandemic are still present. Due to sustained extremely high levels of demand in conjunction with the intense pressure on delivery chains, some parts may be replaced with alternatives of equivalent value, so bicycle will be assembled with them. Those parts may have different color, model, manufacturer and/or size, diameter for some parts (handlebar/stem/seatpost). To keep overall technical level the same, manufacturer will use technically identically matching alternatives. Changes in the production process are made during planned production, so producers do not always have the ability or obligation to give advance notice about these changes. As a result, we may not always be able to change the description and/or photo in time. If bicycle has some parts that does not match the description below and there are no compatibility/technical issues – manufacturer will not replace it! In the worst case, i.e. if a compromise cannot be found between the two parties - if you as a consumer are not happy with the replacement - the bike can be returned, but it must be unused.
The bicycle is sent in the original manufacturer’s packaging (usually with the front wheel, handlebar, and saddle removed), which ensures the safety of the items during storage and transportation. When purchasing of a bicycle in such a packaging, the Buyer himself or his chosen bicycle mechanic must properly prepare it for use - assemble, tighten, and adjust it.
