A Prophete electric trekking bike can be an appealing choice for commuting, long leisure rides and cycling holidays. However, a stated range or a familiar brand name doesn’t tell you everything. With e-bikes in particular, disappointment often comes from unrealistic expectations about the battery, an unsuitable frame size or too little attention to the brakes and suspension.
The Prophete Entdecker 3.0 combines a 28-inch trekking frame with a mid-drive motor, hydraulic disc brakes and an integrated battery. But is this model right for the way you ride? Here are the main things to check.
The product description gives the Prophete Entdecker 3.0 a range of up to 110 km. According to the product specifications, this depends on factors including riding style and terrain. Wind, hills, tyre pressure, total weight, temperature and the selected assistance level also have an impact.
So treat the stated distance as a guide for favourable conditions. If you cycle a set distance every day, it’s sensible to leave plenty of room for variation and check how and where you can charge the battery.
A 250-watt motor rating doesn’t tell you how natural or powerful the assistance will feel. The Prophete uses an AEG ComfortDrive II mid-drive motor, with a stated maximum torque of 70 Nm and a torque sensor. A torque sensor responds to how hard you pedal. This can be more practical when pulling away or cycling uphill than assistance based solely on speed.
According to the product information, this is a 36V mid-drive motor. Always check the latest product specifications and local traffic regulations for electric bikes before buying.
A 28-inch electric bike refers to the wheel size, not the right bike size for your height. The Entdecker 3.0 has a 50 cm frame height. This may suit many adult cyclists, but your height, inside leg measurement and riding position ultimately determine whether the size is right for you.
Also look for adjustable components. According to the description, this bike has an adjustable stem, a Suntour NEX suspension fork and a suspension seatpost. These features can make a difference on cobbled streets, uneven cycle paths and longer rides.
The integrated lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 360 Wh, made up of 36V and 10 Ah. A higher capacity may allow you to travel further between charges, but actual consumption still depends on the conditions.
An e-bike with a mid-drive motor generally distributes its weight around the central part of the frame. Also check:
If you’re also looking for separate batteries, you can browse the motor lithium-ion battery range.
The Prophete Entdecker 3.0 is fitted with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid and offer responsive control, but maintenance requires parts and expertise suited to the specific system.
According to the product details, the lighting consists of a 90-lux LED headlight and a rear light with position and brake light functions. Before riding, check that the lights are connected correctly and that the model meets Dutch requirements for bicycle lighting.
The bike has a Shimano Alivio rear derailleur with 9 gears. This gives you several options for flat roads, headwinds and gentle hills. According to the product specifications, the Continental Ride City tyres are 28 inches, size 47-622, with reflective and puncture-resistant features.
“Puncture-resistant” doesn’t mean puncture-proof. Check the tyre pressure and tread regularly. Underinflated tyres can reduce your range and make steering harder.
The selection below matches the available products to different types of user. Not every product is an electric bike; some options are useful additions to your cycling kit or for maintenance.
Why it suits this profile: This 28-inch electric trekking bike combines a mid-drive motor, 9 gears and an integrated battery for everyday use and leisure rides.
The product specifications list more than just the range: they also give the 360 Wh battery capacity, 50 cm frame height and 70 Nm mid-drive motor. This makes it easier to compare the bike with your needs.
AEG mid-drive motor with torque sensor, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, Suntour suspension fork and a stated maximum range of 110 km.
Why it suits this profile: For cyclists who want to maintain their trekking e-bike themselves, this provides a portable way to remove mud from a bike, patio or garden furniture.
The adjustable 5-in-1 spray nozzle lets you change the water jet. Never direct water at an e-bike’s battery, motor, bearings or electrical connections.
24 bar pressure, 180 l/h flow rate, 6-metre hose and operation without a fixed water supply. The product title states that the battery and charger are not included.
Why it suits this profile: This isn’t a battery for the Prophete e-bike, but it’s a targeted option for people with compatible Makita tools for bike repairs and maintenance.
The voltage, capacity and model name are clearly stated. Always check that the BL1415N is compatible with your tools before buying; this battery won’t replace an e-bike battery.
14.4V, 1.5 Ah lithium-ion technology, locking mechanism and a stated weight of 0.36 kg.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
According to the product description, the bike is designed for longer rides and has a stated range of up to 110 km. The actual range depends on riding style, terrain, weight, temperature and assistance level. For longer rides, plan a place to charge or leave yourself plenty of reserve.
You can’t determine that from your height alone. Ideally, measure your inside leg and compare it with the retailer’s size chart. Also check that the saddle and handlebars can be adjusted enough for you. A test ride is still useful if you’re choosing between two sizes.
The main costs are electricity, maintenance and wear parts. According to the product details, the battery has a capacity of 360 Wh. Actual consumption per charge varies depending on the conditions. Brake pads, the chain and tyres, along with periodic checks of the hydraulic brakes, are ongoing costs to factor into your budget.
