The gravel bike segment just got more exciting. Podium introduces the E-CR1, its first electric gravel bike, designed for riders who demand performance, reliability and adaptability across varied terrain. At the heart of this eBike is the MAHLE X20 System, a compact, lightweight and intelligent motor system that delivers power where and when it’s needed.
Built for All Terrains

With multiple mounting points, riders can carry bags and equipment for extended journeys, making it ideal for bikepacking and long gravel adventures. Yet it remains agile and practical enough for urban use.
Lightweight, Powerful, Invisible
Thanks to the MAHLE X20 System, the E-CR1 keeps its total weight at just 11.7 kg, making it one of the lightest electric gravel bikes on the market. The X20’s 250W rear hub motor packs 55 Nm of torque into a 1.39 kg unit, delivering seamless and silent assistance that feels completely natural.
The iX350 battery ensures a substantial range, and for longer outings, riders can add the optional eX1 external battery (171Wh), unlocking up to 55 km of additional support.
Smart Tech on Board
The E-CR1 is equipped with the PulsarONE display, giving riders instant access to ride metrics, battery levels, and support modes. Integrated torque and cadence sensors ensure the system responds precisely to your effort, providing a riding experience that adapts to your style in real time.
For those seeking a versatile eGravel solution that doesn’t compromise on weight, looks or intelligence, the Podium E-CR1 with MAHLE X20 is a powerful proposition.
