Electric bikes are designed for almost every type of person for many different purposes. It's up to you to decide what is most important to you and what is not important at all. There are so many models available with us, so first you should figure out where you're going to be riding your eBike most frequently.

No! Sure, you might start picking up nicknames like 'Lance', but they don't know what E-bikes are capable of; and knowledge is 'Power'. If having this much fun, on a cool new toy is cheating, then I will accept the criticism! Twice as Far, Twice as fast, Twice as fun... they will be the ones missing out.

Good e-bikes are not cheap in terms of bicycles, but are seriously cheap as a form of transport and fun. You can pick up a very basic machine for £500 from some places, but these are not real eBikes, and they will not give you the same joy and usability of a more sophisticated system. High-performance e-bikes, with light frames, high-capacity batteries and smart control electronics cost between £1300 and £13000; But these bikes are built to last.

It can actually save you money if you use it instead of a car:

The average cost to run a car per year: £1509.27

The average cost to run an E-bike per year: £4.95

This is based on the prices of Tax, insurance, MOT, Fuel and an average mileage of 3300miles - which is more than accomplish-able on an eBike! This excludes maintenance, but a chain is a lot cheaper than a car service!

We can also help you with Finance arrangements, Cycle-scheme (saving you up to 39%) and salary sacrifice. As well as including free tune-ups for two years.

All electric bikes are restricted to 25kph (15.5mph). Above this the electric motor will cut out. However the bike will still be ride-able above this speed.

De-restriction is possible - but is allowed for private land use only- this then removes any caps, meaning you can easily cruise at 25mph+.

Top speed we have reached is 36mph - On a mountain eBike, which is Seriously fast!

Simply everywhere you can a normal bike. No restrictions.

250watts of assistance from the biggest motor. This sees you flying literally everywhere. They can hold you at 80NM of torque too. That's enough for 15.5mph up a 25% gradient

You can usually choose how much help the motor provides, typically in three or four increments. Choosing your assist level helps control the bike's range, as mentioned above. It also gives you the choice of just how much effort you want to put in. If you're riding for exercise and want a bit of help on the hills, use the minimum setting. Feeling extra tired? Dial it up to maximum and blow serious roadies away on the hills.

More sophisticated eBikes also have a 'walk' mode that means you don't need to push the bike along yourself, especially useful if you need to get it up a ramp or walk up a hill with a loaded bike.

You have to plug it in when you get home, it weighs more than a standard bike and you have to maintain it - just as you would your normal bike.

And those really are the only downsides (if you could even call them that!)
