The electric bike chain is an essential part of the e-bike drivetrain, designed to withstand the increased forces generated by the motor. Unlike the chains of conventional bicycles, those of electric bicycles must be more resistant, durable and adapted to demanding conditions of use.
Characteristics of chains for electric bicycles
Reinforced materials:
Hardened steel or specific alloys for better wear resistance.Designed to withstand the high torques of electric motors.
Increased durability:
E-bike chains are often treated with anti-corrosion and anti-friction coatings.Better resist wear caused by frequent acceleration.
Specific compatibility:
Compatible with wide cassettes (8 to 12 speeds) or internal transmissions.Designed to work efficiently with Bosch, Shimano Steps, Yamaha, etc. motors.
Anti-derailment technology:
The reinforced links guarantee better holding and limit the risk of derailment.Perfectly adjusted for derailleur pulleys and e-bike chainrings.
Suitable weight:
While being reinforced, modern chains seek to limit their weight for better efficiency.Types of chains for e-bikes
Chains for external transmission:
Compatible with classic derailleurs and wide cassettes (8 to 12 speeds).Examples: Shimano eBike Chain, SRAM eBike EX1.
Chains for internal transmission:
Designed to work with integrated gear hubs (Rohloff, Enviolo, Shimano Nexus).Examples: KMC or Connex chains compatible with internal transmissions.
Single-speed chains:
Ideal for electric bikes equipped with a belt drive or single speed drivetrain.Examples: Specific models for urban VAEs.
