Bianchi has released two new e-bikes built around Shimano’s 250W E6100 mid-motor: the T-Tronik C-Type city bike and the T-Tronik T-Type touring bike.

The C-Type is set up as your practical e-bike for getting about town.

It comes with a step-through frame, a chain guard and mudguards and features a rack suitable for loads of up to 25kg.

An adjustable stem that can be set from 90° to 140° helps ensure a comfortable, upright riding position.

There’s a 100 lumen front light and a rear light that Bianchi promises will be visible from 500m away.

You also get Sunrace 9-speed gears and disc brakes.

The T-Type is not dissimilar but is being marketed as more of a touring e-bike.

There are two frame options for the T-Type: one with a crossbar and one that is billed as being a step-through – albeit not so low as the C-Type.

Both bikes feature an integrated Phylion 417Wh battery.

RRP is £2,230 and the bikes should be with local dealers in the next couple of weeks.
