Bottecchia BE12 Active – Comfortable Electric Trekking for Everyday Riding

The Bottecchia BE12 Active is a lightweight and versatile electric trekking bike designed for everyday transport, leisure cycling and relaxed exploration.

Its aluminium frame integrates the battery neatly into the downtube, giving the bike a cleaner appearance and more natural handling than many traditional city e-bikes.

This pre-owned example is available at Fliston’s for only €790, compared with a reference new price of €1,500.

Aluminium E-Trekking Frame

The BE12 Active uses a 28-inch aluminium e-trekking frame with an integrated battery system.

The design is intended to provide stable, comfortable handling while keeping the appearance relatively close to that of a conventional bicycle.

Bottecchia specifically describes the model as light and easy to handle, making it suitable for daily journeys on asphalt and light dirt roads.

250 W Rear Hub Motor

Electric assistance is provided by a 36 V 250 W rear hub motor.

The motor produces up to 45 Nm of torque, which gives useful assistance for commuting, gentle climbs and longer leisure rides.

Its rear-hub position keeps the centre of the frame clean and allows the bike to maintain a relatively conventional riding feel.

Five Levels of Assistance

The BE12 Active provides five levels of electric assistance.

This allows the rider to choose between lower assistance for increased range or stronger support when climbing or riding into the wind.

Integrated 360 Wh Battery

The bike uses a Green Way Li-Ion 36 V 360 Wh battery.

The battery is fully integrated into the downtube, helping keep the weight distribution more balanced and the frame visually cleaner.

Bottecchia states a range of up to approximately 60 km under optimal rider and route conditions. Actual range will depend on rider weight, terrain, wind, assistance level, temperature and battery condition.

For a pre-owned e-bike, actual battery health should always be checked separately rather than assuming the original maximum range.

Shimano 8-Speed Drivetrain

The official specification uses:

Rear derailleur: Shimano TY800
Speeds: 8
Cassette: Shimano 11-34, 8-speed

The 11-34 cassette provides a useful gear range for everyday urban riding and moderate climbs.

The 8-speed setup keeps operation simple while remaining practical for mixed city and trekking use.

Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Stopping power is provided by Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

Hydraulic disc brakes offer smooth, controlled braking and require less hand effort than traditional cable-operated systems.

They are particularly useful on an electric bicycle because of the additional weight and speed associated with electric assistance.

Zoom CH141D Front Suspension

The correct fork specification is:

Zoom CH141D aluminium disc suspension fork

The front suspension helps absorb vibration and minor impacts from uneven roads, paving and light dirt surfaces.

This contributes to the comfortable character of the BE12 Active.

700C Aluminium Wheels

The BE12 Active is equipped with:

700C aluminium double-wall wheels

The official tyre specification is:

Mitas City Hopper 28×2.00

The wider tyres provide additional comfort, stability and grip for urban roads and light mixed-surface riding.

Practical Urban Equipment

The BE12 Active is designed as a complete commuter and trekking package.

Bottecchia lists practical equipment including:

Front basket
Mudguards
Rear luggage rack
Lighting system

The front basket is supplied as standard and mounted directly to the steering area for stable handling even when carrying a load.
