Which frame size is right for me? – The right e-bike size for your riding pleasure
No matter how high-quality an e-bike is, if the frame size does not match your body size, every ride will be a strain. Comfort, safety and riding experience depend directly on whether the e-bike is ergonomically tailored to you.
In this article, we show you how to find the right e-bike size – and why AureusDrive actively supports you in this.
Why is the right frame size so important?
A frame that is too small or too large can lead to back pain, limited control or unsafe riding behaviour. Especially on longer rides or in everyday use, the fit of your e-bike plays a key role in your well-being – just like a good pair of shoes.
What determines the ideal frame size?
The ideal frame size depends primarily on your body height, or more precisely, your inseam. Your seating position, intended use (e.g. city or touring) and individual preferences (upright vs. sporty) also play a role in the selection.
For e-bikes, the frame size is usually specified in centimetres (e.g. 48 cm) or S/M/L/XL. However, it is important to note that not all brands measure in the same way. That is why a personal measurement and test ride are often crucial.
AureusDrive makes it easy: measurement & test ride directly on site
With us, you don’t buy ‘by guesswork’:
We offer size determination at our partner locations – uncomplicated, fast and, of course, followed by a test ride. This guarantees that you will find the model that suits your size and riding style.
And if you already own a bike, bring it with you! We will help you compare frame sizes and find the right e-bike for you.
Example size recommendations (guidelines)
| Body height | Typical frame size City | Recommendation at AureusDrive |
|---|---|---|
| 155 – 170 cm | 45–48 cm | e.g. DailyDrive S / Power S |
| 170 – 185 cm | 50–53 cm | e.g. DailyDrive M / Power M |
| 185 – 200 cm | 54–56 cm | e.g. PowerDrive L / Power L |
Please note: The actual fit also depends on the handlebars selected, the saddle height and the intended use. A test ride is always recommended.

Whether for commuting, everyday use or weekend trips – your e-bike must fit your body.
