Yadea is best known for its electric scooters and motorcycles, which have helped cement the company as the world’s leading electric vehicle maker by production volume. But despite leading the world in EV manufacturering volume – or perhaps because of it – the company has also developed quite an interesting lineup of electric bicycles. On display at Eurobike 2026 was the company’s new full-suspension commuter e-bike, the Yadea Como.

The Yadea Como’s biggest claim to fame is probably that rear suspension, a rare feature on commuter e-bikes. But you’d be forgiven for not even realizing the bike has a rear shock, thanks to its clever encapsulation in the step-through frame.
That keeps the model from looking like a chunky mountain bike, and might even help it garner less attention for thieves looking for fancy e-bikes to re-home.
But inside that slickly designed frame is a hidden, adjustable air shock that lets riders dial in the right amount of shock absorption for their weight and comfort preferences.
The rear air shock is matched by an air fork in the front, allowing the bike to glide over pot holes, curbs, speed bumps, and other obstacles all to familiar to those of us who call the urban jungle our home.
Further helping with the ride quality are the large 27.5×2.4″ urban tires, giving a large diameter for better rollover and enough air volume to keep the ride plush without getting sluggish in the steering.
Together, they give the bike a taller posture and a more comfortable ride overall.
But of course, this is an electric bike afterall, and so there’s more here than just the frame design or suspension.
The heart of the bike is a Ananda mid-drive motor, rated at 250W to match that ever important EU legal limit.
Yadea also has plenty of US-market e-bikes as well, though this version is specifically meant for the EU markets. That EU designation also means the bike is software limited to 25 km/h (15.5 mph) to comply with local regulations.
That Ananda mid-drive motor powers the rear wheel through a Shimano Acera 8-speed transmission, offering a step up in quality over the basic Shimano Tourney and Altus transmissions we often seen on more budget commuter models.
A belt drive version is available as well, swapping the KMC chain for a Gates carbon drive belt. The 8-speed Shimano Acera derailleur is also swapped for a 7-Speed Shimano Nexus internally geared hub, allowing for shifts at a standstill.
The belt-drive version also removes the need for chain or derailer maintenance, another major benefit
The battery is a 36V 13Ah frame-integrated model that is lockable and removable. An LCD display is built into the bike’s stem, allowing riders to check battery level along with assist mode, speed, and other important ride parameters. A full settings manual is also available via the display, letting riders make changes to the bike’s settings and features.
That stem is also adjustable, helping riders dial in the handlebar height and angle for a more comfortable ride. However, because the display is built into the stem, changing the stem angle also adjusts the display angle.
Completing the hardware list are a pair of Tektro dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes. Hydraulic stoppers are all but standard on quality commuter e-bikes these days, thanks to their punchy performance and lower maintenance cycle compared to cable-pull brakes.
As a true commuter e-bike, the Yadea Como also includes LED lighting, a fender set, and a rear rack.
The new model has already proven popular in markets such as Germany and the Netherlands, with a Yadea representative sharing that both countries had already placed large orders to stock the bike locally.
But the Como wasn’t the only new model on display at the show, as Yadea also showed off a fat tire bike known as the Rover.
The Rover follows a similar formula for a fat tire folding bike, using a rectangular main frame tube with a central folding mechanism and a pair of 20×4.0″ fat tires mounted on cast wheels.
Wrapped in the four inches of rubber is a rear hub motor rated for 250W, again meeting the EU limit for power and providing a software-limited speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). A 48V 13Ah battery is held inside the frame tube and is also lockable and removable for charging off the bike when desired.
The bike’s display has built-in USB-C charging for the rider’s phone or other devices and also has the option for NFC unlocking, providing more security to prevent thieves from starting the bike.
The two models represent very different ends of the EU bike market spectrum.
The Como targets riders more familiar with Dutch-style upright-riding e-bikes, though with a bit more comfort that only full-suspension can provide.
The Rover, on the other hand, fits the bill for young riders in Europe who are increasingly seeking out fat tire e-bikes for the look and feel of chunky tires and extra road presence.
When combined with Yadea’s US-focused e-bikes and the company’s broader electric motorcycle and scooter lineup featuring hundreds of unique models, the diverse lineup paints a picture of a micromobility leader that has touched just about every area of the industry. But hey, you don’t sell tens of millions of EVs per year without offering something for everyone!
