Cobbles and canals — ride slowly, it is a pedestrian-heavy area.
VéloRouge estimates: 14 km/h on a classic bike, 19 km/h on an e-bike, flat ground, excluding stops and traffic lights. Distances are rounded and measured by us, not taken from a GPS track.

Strasbourg is flat, so your average speed depends on traffic lights and pedestrian traffic rather than climbing. In the old town at busy hours, expect closer to 12 km/h.
On the canal and Rhine cycle paths there is almost nothing to stop for — that is where an e-bike genuinely saves time.
For long days out (Obernai, Colmar) add your breaks: 33 km is about two hours of pedalling, but a full day is realistic once you stop in the villages.
