Tomos EB 16 - Matte Anthracite

Tomos EB 16 at GOfatbike

The Tomos EB 16 is an electric city bike for people who want to rely on it daily. You sit upright, the motor assists as soon as you pedal, and the bike feels stable, even on longer rides. It’s an all-rounder: not a sports bike, but a pleasant, comfortable bike for commuting to work, school, or the store. In this explanation, we’ll go through how the EB 16 rides, the battery and motor details, and who this city bike is a good choice for.

Frame, step-through, and riding position

The frame of the EB 16 is designed for an upright, relaxed posture. Your head is up, your back straight, and your hands rest calmly on the handlebars, giving you a good view of traffic. There are versions with a lower step-through frame, making it easy to get on and off without lifting your leg high. This is convenient if you often stop at intersections or traffic lights. The seat is designed for comfort, not sportiness. If you want to ride bent forward and fast, this is not the bike for you.

Range and battery

The battery provides a generous range for daily use. How far you go depends on your weight, the wind, the level of assistance chosen, and how often you have to stop and start. So, expect a margin rather than a fixed number. Riding with light assistance will get you more distance per charge than constantly using the highest setting. You can charge the battery while it’s still in the bike, or remove it and take it inside. This way, you decide where and when to charge.

Motor, gears, and regulations

The EB 16 assists you with a 250-watt motor while you keep pedaling. The assistance stops around 25 kilometers per hour, after which you pedal on your own power. There is no throttle, so pedaling is required. This means the EB 16 counts as a regular electric bike: no driver’s license, no registration plate, and no helmet requirement. The gears let you choose an easier or harder setting, useful for starting off or going over a small bridge. We advise against tuning the motor, as that would put the bike outside the legal category and void your warranty.

Brakes, lighting, and equipment

The brakes bring you to a smooth stop, even when the streets are busy or wet. The EB 16 is designed as a complete city bike, made to take you on the road right away. You can find exactly which parts are included, from the brakes to the equipment, in the specifications on the product page. This way, you know exactly what you’re getting instead of us making it look better than it is. It’s handy to check this before you decide.

Who is this city bike for

The EB 16 suits those looking for a reliable bike for everyday use, without fuss. To work, class, shopping, or a weekend ride. The upright seating and possible low step-through make riding easy, even if you’re not very flexible anymore. Looking for a sporty bike for long, fast rides or something very light to carry? Then you’d better look elsewhere. For a calm and comfortable ride through the city, this is a pleasant, accessible choice.
