Hepha’s Trekking 7 Ultra is a serious challenger to the ebike competition. Starting from € 2,499, the bike is available in three versions and with different motor variants from 80 to 100 Nm torque. Can this ebike really make good on its promises or are they just hot air after all?

Finding a solid ebike for less than € 3,000 can be difficult, not least since inflation has risen beyond the targeted 2% in Germany, and it’s even higher than that in other parts of the world. Ebike manufacturer Hepha have also recognised this new challenge and developed their own motor concept specifically for the new Trekking 7. With an entry price of € 2,499, the Hepha remains well below the € 3,000 mark. However, if you opt for the fancier frame or the more powerful motor, you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket. Our test version with the 100 Nm torque motor retails at € 2,999. We tested for you how the new ebike performs in everyday life, on climbs and on tours.

The Hepha Trekking 7 Ultra in detail

Hepha’s Trekking 7 series is the only product that the company offers on their own website. You have a choice of three different motor variants with 80, 90 or 100 Nm torque as well as two different frame shapes. For a cleaner look, Hepha also offers the bike with polished weld seams for an extra € 200. This is already included in the price of the two more expensive models – trés chic! A small shortcoming, however, is the limited choice of frame sizes: Hepha have refrained from producing many different sizes and only make the Trekking 7 available in sizes M and L. On the other hand, buyers have more flexibility when it comes to choosing their desired motor power. Our test bike in size L with the 100 Nm motor weighs 26.6 kg and is equipped with rugged mudguards and a rear rack with a spring flap.
