Buy Best Electronic Bikes

EFFECTIVE WAYS Find the best bicycles in the test and get the OF STUDYING best reviews BEFORE EXAMS

CONSIDER YOUR NEEDS Electric bikes are designed for different people and different purposes. It’s up to you to decide what is most important to you, what is not important at all, and then communicate that to the retailer. If comfort is key, then a step-through frame might be best. If hill-climbing is crucial, then a hub motor over 250 watts or a midmounted motor is what will work.

THE WARRANTY MATTERS Buying an electric bike is a big investment, regardless of whether it is $1000 or $6000. The warranty will allow you to rest assured that your investment was worth it. A two year warranty on parts, motor and battery is reasonable to expect from most electric bike manufacturers with product selling for over $2000.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR INTUITION

CHOOSE YOUR RETAILER WISELY Buying an electric bike should be as much about buying into a bike shop, as it is simply buying a product. You should judge your place of purchase on three points: vibe, commitment, and quality. The vibe is the feeling you get when you walk into the shop. Is the staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful? Commitment refers to the shops evident enthusiasm for electric bikes.

It may seem like a jungle of contradictory information out there, and that is not far from the truth. There are many choices, lots of opinions, and not much in the way of trusted organizations that certify and review electric bikes in a systematic manner.

QUALITY COUNTS, BUT SERVICE COUNTS JUST AS MUCH Electric bikes are not toys, they are transportation. The quality of the bicycle itself, irrespective of the drive system, is extremely important. It is doubly important if you plan on riding it day-in and dayout. While bicycle component quality is fairly easy to judge by looking over the listing of parts… motors and batteries can be a little more difficult.
