Potts e-Bikes is a specialist dealer based in Germany. It seems to have acquired a license to sell Class electric bicycles in Europe and is debuting with the Claas trekking e-bike. Claas has an established identity as an agricultural machinery brand.

The new trekking e-bike is the first pedelec from the brand. It is equipped with a Bosch Performance Line smart motor. It also comes with an Enviolo TR gear hub underpinning its stepless gear architecture and automatic shifting.

The new Claas trekking e-bike’s Bosch smart electric motor is mid-mounted while a 625Wh removable battery is locked away within the frame. The frame is green and will be available in various sizes for both step-through and step-over versions. The bike is also equipped with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive CDX and an RST Volar TNL-F suspension. The ride is made more comfortable with the additional suspension seat post, while effective control is achieved via the Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

The e-bike’s branding reflects the Claas identity with red accents on the 27.5-inch wheels with Schwalbe Johnny Watts tires. The trekking e-bike has a Bosch Kiox 500 display for viewing ride information. Accessories include mudguards, a headlight, and a kickstand, while a rear rack is also available to transport luggage. There are still a few specs that are lacking for the Claas e-bike at this time including the assistance range and top speed.

Pricing & Availability

The Claas trekking e-bike will launch in spring 2024 but the specific launch date has not been released. The recommended retail price for the Claas e-bike is €4,990 ($5,467). Potts e-Bikes will sell the Claas e-bike across Europe, but other specialist dealers could also be in the mix. There are no indications yet whether the Claas e-bike will be subsequently available in other markets outside Europe.
