DailyDrive tested by EasyBiken magazine

An e-bike for everyday use put to the test

The DailyDrive from AureusDrive shows that commuting on two wheels can be less stressful and more enjoyable than expected. The test report by EasyBiken provides exciting insights into the suitability of this e-bike for everyday use and how it performs when commuting. Anyone who previously saw the daily commute as a necessary evil might be surprised: The DailyDrive turns the ride to work into an enjoyable experience where even a headwind won’t put a smile on your face.

Comfort and technology: practical for everyday use

The DailyDrive is cleverly designed and offers a solid, functional basis for daily rides. The battery and motor are securely integrated into the sturdy aluminum frame, making the e-bike robust and visually appealing. According to the test report, the suspension fork provides a pleasant riding experience by absorbing bumps on the road well. The tires are also suitable for uneven paths and allow a certain flexibility off-road. This makes the DailyDrive a good choice not only on city streets, but also on country lanes or nature trails.

Time savings and efficiency compared to the car

One remarkable aspect of the test is the comparison of travel times between the DailyDrive and the car. For a distance of 10 kilometers, the e-bike only takes around 7 minutes longer than the car – a difference that is hardly significant given the many advantages of cycling. Even for longer distances, such as the test rider’s 35-kilometre commute, the time difference remains manageable at around 20 to 25 minutes, while the ride on the e-bike is far more relaxed and closer to nature.

A reliable companion for everyday commuting

The test rider from EasyBiken used the DailyDrive over a longer period of time on the route from Baden to Cham and was impressed. The sand-colored design, the stable top tube and, above all, the low-maintenance belt drive proved to be reliable and easy to maintain. The belt drive in combination with the continuously variable Enviolo gears in particular paid off in everyday use: no chain grease on the pants and minimal maintenance. For someone who wants to use the bike as an everyday means of transportation, this is a real plus point.

Driving feel and performance

The DailyDrive is equipped with a 500-watt mid-motor that offers up to 100 Newton meters of torque. For the test rider, this was more than enough to make the riding experience pleasantly dynamic – even without sporty training. The route along the Reuss was transformed into a relaxing break that helped to leave everyday life behind and do something for your health at the same time.

Conclusion: An e-bike that makes everyday life easier

The test report shows that the DailyDrive from AureusDrive offers an interesting alternative for commuters who want to leave the car at home more often. The combination of fresh air, exercise and the quiet, clean belt drive provides a riding experience that enhances the commute. With small additional adjustments such as wider handlebars or a suspension seat post, the comfort of the DailyDrive can be increased even further.

With a price of CHF 3399 for the basic version, the DailyDrive offers a well thought-out package of range, stability and comfort – all at a fair price. For anyone thinking about ditching the car more often, this e-bike is definitely worth a look.
