ColnagoE64
Origin
The E64 was Colnago's first electric road bike, unveiled in early 2019 as the storied Cambiago marque's cautious step into e-road. Founded by Ernesto Colnago in 1954, the brand built its legend on hand-finished steel and later carbon race frames ridden by the sport's greats, and it carried that reputation into the e-bike era only once it could do so without compromising the look of a 'real' Colnago. The E64 borrows its name and its silhouette from the flagship C64 — the same sloping lines and painted lug detailing — but hides a Mahle ebikemotion X35 motor in the rear hub and a slim battery in the down tube. The goal was a bike that rides and looks like a normal top-end road bike, with power that arrives only as a gentle helping hand rather than an obvious electric shove.
Specifications
- Frame
- Full carbon monocoque, made in Italy; styling inspired by the C64 (sloping geometry, painted lug detail — not actually lugged)
- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- Shimano Ultegra 11-speed; mechanical (R8020) or Ultegra Di2 (R8050) electronic depending on build; 50/34 crankset, 11-30 cassette
- Brakes
- Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc, flat-mount
- Wheels
- Mavic Aksium Elite EVO UST (ebikemotion/EBM version), disc, tubeless-ready
The verdict
- Genuinely light (~12 kg) and handles like a normal road bike, not a heavy e-bike
- Subtle, natural 'tailwind' assist and near-invisible integration — passes as a regular Colnago
- Premium Italian carbon frame with quality Ultegra / Ultegra Di2 builds and hydraulic discs
- Modest 250Wh battery and 40 Nm motor — assist fades on steep, sustained climbs and range is limited without the extra Range Extender
- Mahle hub motor is non-removable and proprietary; out-of-warranty electronics/battery service can be costly and dealer-dependent
- Premium price for the power on offer — you pay for the badge and the low weight, not for big torque or range
Generations
E64 mechanical (2019)
- Original, lower-cost build; two colourways (grey/black/yellow, black/white/orange).
E64 Di2 (2019-2020)
- Electronic-shift top build; same X35 motor and 250Wh battery — the difference is the groupset/spec, not the drive system.
