The bike’s frame is made from an ultra-light AL-6061 tube set and features an integrated PowerPack battery, reducing the e-bike’s total weight to 25 kg.

The semi-integrated Bosch battery has a capacity of 500 Wh, which can be monitored and controlled via the Bosch Intuvia display.

Safety is ensured by Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (BR-MT200) with an SM-RT10 rotor; the front brake disc has a diameter of 180 mm and the rear one 160 mm. The brake levers are also from Shimano (BL-MT200). The drivetrain consists of a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8 freehub hub with an 8-speed twist-grip shifter (SL-C6000).

The Suntour NCX D LO fork, with 63 mm of travel and a lockout function, provides additional comfort on uneven terrain. The bike is lit by a B&M Upp front light with 30 lux and a B&M Toplight 2 C rear light, both of which are LED and specifically designed for e-bikes.

Other features include aluminium trekking pedals, an FSA CK-200 crankset with 38 teeth, a Shimano 20-tooth sprocket and a KMC Z1eHX Wide EPT chain. The handlebars are BGM Pro Riser handlebars with a 15° bend and a height of 5 mm, complemented by BGM Comfort Ergo grips with screw-on grips. The stem is adjustable within a range of 17°–25°.

The E-Horizon N8 FH 500 Lady features Mach 1 ER20 rims, Schwalbe Energizer Active Plus tyres with reflective strips (47-622), and Shimano hubs with a Centre Lock disc and quick-release mechanism at the front, and a freehub at the rear. The spokes are Sapim Leader.

The saddle is a Selle Royal Essenza designed specifically for women, mounted on a BGM Pro seatpost. Mudguards from SKS with stainless steel struts, an Atran kickstand and a BGM/Racktime luggage rack complete the specification.

Overall, the E-Horizon N8 FH 500 Lady from Bergamont offers a well-thought-out combination of performance, comfort and safety, ideal for discerning female cyclists.
