The Winora Yakun 12 Trail is a heavy-duty trekking e-bike built around the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor, delivering 85Nm of torque from a 250W mid-drive paired with a large 750Wh Bosch PowerTube battery for genuinely long days in the saddle. Output is managed through the colour Bosch Kiox 300 display and LED Remote. Because assistance cuts at 25 km/h with no throttle, this is a 250W EAPC and is fully road-legal in the UK.
A RockShox Recon RL air fork with 80mm of travel takes the sting out of rough trails and broken tarmac, while a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain (10-51T) and powerful Shimano Deore four-piston hydraulic disc brakes (203/180mm) handle steep, loaded climbs and descents. The 6061 aluminium frame carries a rated total weight of 150 kg, comes with a sturdy integrated rear rack and mudguards, and is offered in diamond and low-step versions across four sizes.

- UK road-legal 250W pedal-assist (25 km/h, no throttle)
A Closer Look at the Winora Yakun 12 Trail
Winora fits the Yakun 12 Trail with Bosch’s Performance Line CX Smart System — the same higher-output 85Nm motor found on dedicated trail eMTBs — but pairs it with a generous 750Wh PowerTube battery rather than a lighter trail-focused pack, prioritising range over outright weight. That’s the right trade-off for a trekking bike meant for genuinely long days out rather than short technical loops, and it’s managed through the colour Bosch Kiox 300 display with an LED remote for quick mode changes without looking down.
A RockShox Recon RL air fork with 80mm of travel takes the edge off rough trails and broken tarmac without adding the weight or complexity of a full-suspension setup, while Shimano’s wide-range 12-speed 10-51T cassette and four-piston hydraulic brakes with 203/180mm rotors give the gearing and stopping power to handle loaded climbs and descents confidently.
Who Rides the Yakun 12 Trail, and Where
This suits riders planning long trekking days rather than technical singletrack — think multi-hour countryside routes, loaded touring, or simply wanting a bike that won’t run out of charge halfway through a long weekend ride. Because assistance cuts out at 25km/h with no throttle, it’s a fully UK road-legal 250W EAPC requiring no licence, tax or insurance, and it’s equally at home on tarmac, gravel and canal paths.
Setup & Care
The RockShox Recon fork benefits from an annual lower-leg service to keep the air spring and damper performing consistently. Shimano’s 12-speed drivetrain has a wider range than most trekking bikes, so keep an eye on chain wear given the extra gear changes it invites. Charge the 750Wh PowerTube per Bosch’s guidance, and the integrated rack and mudguards are rated for genuine daily use — check bolts periodically if riding loaded regularly.
