The HEPHA Trekking 7 Performance MY2026 embodies the perfect balance between power, range and versatility for the modern cyclist. Designed for daily commutes as well as weekend getaways, this trekking electric bike combines a HEPHA P101C mid-drive motor with 90 Nm and a 708 Wh battery to deliver a dynamic and natural riding experience with up to 200 km of range.

Technical Overview

This Performance model is positioned between the Long Range (80 Nm) and Ultra (100 Nm) versions of the Trekking 7 range, offering an excellent performance-price compromise. The 6061 Premium aluminum frame features invisible polished welds that give it the appearance of a monocoque frame, an aesthetic distinction rewarded by the German Design Award 2023. With its complete Shimano CUES equipment, its 63 mm travel suspension fork and its automatic lighting, the Trekking 7 Performance is ready to tackle all types of terrain right out of the box.

HEPHA P101C Next-Generation Motor

• 100 Nm of pure torque: The HEPHA P101C mid-drive motor delivers controlled power with 100 Nm of torque and a peak power of 750 W. Weighing only 2.8 kg thanks to its magnesium housing, it boasts an exceptional power density of 32.14 Nm/kg.
• Record efficiency: With efficiency up to 87%, this motor converts almost all electrical energy into mechanical propulsion, maximizing range and responsiveness.
• Intuitive 4-sensor control: Equipped with 4 sensors (speed, cadence, torque, position) and ultra-fast motor control, the P101C responds instantly to every pedal stroke for a natural riding feel.
• Customizable assist modes: Via the HEPHA app, configure Turbo modes (450% max assist), Tour, Eco and Walk according to your needs. Assistance cuts off automatically at 25 km/h in compliance with European regulations.

Battery and Long-Distance Range

• 708 Wh capacity: The lithium-ion HEPHA BT-700BH battery, perfectly integrated into the down tube, offers up to 200 km of range in Eco mode, with energy density among the best on the market.
• Removable and lockable: The battery is easily removed for indoor charging or can be recharged directly on the bike via the protected port.
• 6A fast charging: The HEPHA 6A fast charger supplied as standard charges 50% in 1.6 hours and 100% in 4 hours, 1.5 times faster than a standard charger. Robust, waterproof (IP65) and convertible to a wall-mount box, it goes with you everywhere.
• Intelligent management: The BMS (Battery Management System) ensures protection against overcharging, deep discharge and overheating, extending cell life (>800 cycles).

Chassis and Ergonomics

• Premium invisible-weld frame: The aluminum 6061 frame with polished welds offers an elegant monocoque appearance, while guaranteeing rigidity and lightness. The down tube houses the battery in a visually perfect integration.

• Satori UP2+ adjustable stem: The angle-adjustable stem compensates for the limitation to two sizes by allowing customized adjustment of riding position.
• Suntour NEX-25 suspension fork: With 63 mm of travel and a lockout function, it absorbs shocks on rough paths and stiffens for efficiency on asphalt.

High-Performance Drivetrain and Braking

• Shimano CUES 10-speed: The Shimano CUES drivetrain (RD-U6020 derailleur, SL-U6000-10R shifter, CS-LG400-10 cassette 11-39T) is specially designed for high-torque e-bikes, offering smooth gear changes even under motor assist.
• Shimano BR-MT410 hydraulic brakes: The hydraulic disc brakes with 2 pistons (180 mm front / 160 mm rear discs) guarantee powerful and progressive braking in all weather and temperatures.
