Kalkhoff presents the revised 3-series for the 2026 model year. The three e-bike models Image 3, Endeavour 3 and Entice 3 will have a completely new frame platform. According to the manufacturer, the new edition will set new standards for e-bikes in the city, trekking and all-road segments. Production is already underway. All three models are now available from specialist dealers. Kalkhoff promises more attractive price points than the previous models.
Kalkhoff bikes 2026: Comfort geometry meets new frame platform
The revised comfort geometry is designed to provide balanced handling. Kalkhoff has increased the suspension travel and integrated longer mudguards. The integrated cable routing ensures a tidy appearance.
Numerous attachment points allow accessories to be retrofitted. The front pannier rack developed by Kalkhoff is easy to fit. The standard MIK HD pannier rack is compatible with child seats. The 3-series is available in the Diamant and Wave frame shapes in various sizes. New are the Wave version in XL and the S size with a smaller wheel size for easier access.
Bosch Performance Line CX in the new price segment
All three models use Bosch motors. For the first time, the Bosch Performance Line CX motor is also partially used in the Kalkhoff 3 Series. This motor was previously not available in this price segment. The integrated battery is available with a capacity of 540 Wh or 600 Wh. Depending on the model and use, ranges of up to 120 kilometres should be possible according to the manufacturer. The exact range naturally depends on riding style, terrain and support level.
Three models for different areas of application
With the new edition of our 3 Series e-bikes, we have succeeded in evolving a classic. The new generation is even more suitable for everyday use than ever before - and at even more attractive price points than in the past. Felix Hildebrandt, Product Manager at Kalkhoff

BIKE assessment of the new Kalkhoff series
With the new 3-series, Kalkhoff is making its affordable trekking platform more versatile and modern, both in terms of look and equipment. More powerful motors at lower price points also sound attractive. We are curious to see exactly how much the models will cost. - Adrian Kaether, Test Manager MYBIKE
