Marin Bikes has entered the electric gravel bike market with the launch of the Lombard E, its first e-gravel series, available in two variants — the Lombard E1 and Lombard E2. Both models feature a Bosch SX Sprint motor, a full carbon fork, and an integrated 400 Wh PowerTube battery.
According to Marin, the new Lombard E is designed to deliver “a smooth and comfortable ride even on rough terrains,” thanks to its aluminum frame paired with the carbon fork. The company said both models share the same frame design but differ in drivetrain and equipment.

The Lombard E1 comes equipped with a Shimano GRX 12-speed mechanical drivetrain, while the higher-end Lombard E2 features a Shimano GRX Di2 12-speed electronic drivetrain with wireless shifting. The E2 also includes a Trans X dropper seatpost, allowing riders to adjust saddle height at the push of a button — a feature absent on the E1.
Both bikes use Shimano GRX hydraulic brakes and wide gravel-ready tires, but neither model includes an LCD display or app-based control system. The bikes are powered by Bosch’s new lightweight SX Sprint motor, matched with a 400 Wh integrated PowerTube battery, though Marin has yet to disclose details about top speed, torque, or range.

The Lombard E1 is priced at €3,899, while the Lombard E2 costs €4,699, and both are available in sizes S, M, L, and XL. The lineup is offered in white and brown or grey and blue two-tone color options.
Marin said the Lombard E models represent “a significant step” into the e-gravel segment, aiming to meet the growing demand for lightweight, high-performance electric bikes suitable for both urban commuting and off-road adventures.
