E-Bike Cranks for Sale – Essential for Pedaling Power 

For e-bikes that need to ride smoothly and powerfully, e-bike cranks are essential. At Hollandbikeshop, you will find a wide selection and fast delivery.
 

What is an e-bike crank and why do you need one?

An e-bike crank connects your bottom bracket to your pedals. It is the component that transmits your power to the drivetrain. Without a crank, you simply cannot ride. On e-bikes, cranks are especially important. They provide stability, safety, and an efficient pedaling motion. A good crank enhances your riding comfort and prevents wear on other components. For example, if you choose a e-bike crankset without play, you prevent play in the system, which allows for smoother pedaling.
 

What types of e-bike cranks are there?

When choosing an e-bike crank, pay attention to these variations:

•    Shape of the crank:
o    Straight cranks are suitable for city bikes.
o    Curved cranks are often used on mountain bikes or trekking bikes for more space and pedaling comfort.
•    Length of the crank:
o    The most common lengths range from 152 mm to 175 mm.
o    Shorter cranks (around 152-165 mm) allow for lighter pedaling and are suitable for smaller riders or those who want to pedal faster.
o    Longer cranks (170-175 mm) provide more pedaling power and are suitable for taller riders or those who want to pedal powerfully.
o    The right length depends on your height and riding style.
•    Compatibility with motor systems:
o    Some cranks are specifically made for a certain motor type, such as Bosch, Shimano Steps, or Bafang.
o    These systems use a specific axle size and attachment, so your crank must be compatible.
•    Material of the crank:
o    Aluminum is lightweight and suitable for sporty use.
o    Steel is stronger and more durable, ideal for daily use or heavier loads.

Sometimes you don’t need to replace the entire crankset, and a loose e-bike crank is sufficient. Just make sure the loose crank fits your current components.
 

What to consider when buying e-bike cranks?

When choosing the right e-bike crank, pay attention to the following points:
•    Motor system: Not every crank fits every motor. Check if the crank is compatible with your motor system, such as Bosch, Shimano Steps, Brose, or Bafang. For proper installation, you can also search for crank attachment.
•    Attachment type: Pay attention to the type of attachment. Common connections are ISIS, JIS (square axle), or splined connections. This must match exactly with your bottom bracket.
•    Length of the crank: The length is usually indicated in millimeters, for example, 170 mm. The length you need depends on your height and pedaling style. An incorrect length can lead to knee problems or inefficient pedaling.
•    Left or right: Cranks are specific to the left or right side of the bike. This is often indicated with an ‘L’ (left) or ‘R’ (right). They are not interchangeable.
•    Number of arms or chainring attachment: Some cranks are suitable for one chainring, others for double or triple. On e-bikes, it usually concerns a crank without gears, as the motor takes over this task. So check if the crank is intended for use without a chainring.
•    Material: Aluminum is light and sporty. Steel is stronger and more durable but heavier. Choose depending on your intended use.
•    Q-factor: This is the distance between the outer edges of both cranks. A correct Q-factor ensures a natural and comfortable pedaling motion. This is especially important for sporty e-bikes.

For maintenance, it is important to clean the cranks regularly. Check if the crank bolts are still tight. Use mounting grease during installation to prevent corrosion and use the correct crank tool.

Is an e-bike crank different from a regular crank?
