Electrolyte Bergblitz S9E TE Review: E-Trekking Bike Test

by Liam O'Connor Sports Editor

Electrolyte’s Bergblitz S9E TE redefines the e-bike experience, blending robust everyday usability with long-distance touring comfort. Instead of a fixed model, Electrolyte offers a customizable approach, allowing riders to configure the frame, components, and equipment online. The S9E TE model pairs Bosch’s high-torque PX motor with Rohloff’s fully automatic E14 2.0 hub gear, all built around a durable, low-entry frame.

Comfort is paramount, evidenced by the parallelogram seat post, 100 mm suspension fork, and ergonomically designed cockpit featuring a slight handlebar bend and high-quality controls. A substantial 800 Wh battery provides ample power for extended adventures.

Off-Road Potency and Comfort

The Bergblitz S9E TE delivers strong, controlled support even on challenging terrain. Climbing becomes effortless thanks to the PX motor’s four customizable U-modes, maintaining consistent power even at lower cadences.

Despite its low-entry design, the frame provides a direct and stable riding experience, even with a total system weight approaching 150 kg. The steering remains precise and agile, while the Rohloff hub’s electronic shifting is remarkably smooth and efficient, seamlessly integrating with Bosch’s Smart System for virtually uninterrupted traction.
