Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
Riders who want a lightweight drop-bar gravel e-bike for mixed sealed and unsealed roads, with the subtle Bosch SX assist rather than a full-power motor.
Standout strength
A genuine gravel e-bike with the lightweight Bosch Active Line SX drive, from a well-known brand.
The main compromise
Marin does not publish battery capacity, torque, range or weight for this model on the AU pages, so confirm the full spec before buying.
Consider something else if
You want maximum range or a full-power motor, where the Bosch SX is deliberately lighter and less powerful.
Check before you buy
Ask the Marin dealer for the full spec sheet (battery Wh, torque, wheel and tyre spec) before ordering, since these are not listed.

How fast does the Marin Lombard E1 go?

Is the Marin Lombard E1 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The Marin Lombard E1 is a 250W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the Marin Lombard E1?
The Marin Lombard E1 has a claimed range of 22 to 137 km from its 400Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
What motor does the Marin Lombard E1 have?
The Marin Lombard E1 uses a Bosch Active Line SX (lightweight) motor, in a mid-drive position, producing 60Nm of torque. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
