Definition of an Electric Bicycle 

An electric bike is ultimately a motor-assisted ride. They are a combination of a traditional bike, with a battery and motor added, to help assist the rider with pedalling. 

Why choose an e-bike over a traditional bicycle? 

1. You’re travelling with cargo. Having the additional pulling power of an e-bike means you can still use your bike to haul extra cargo, without killing your legs due to the extra weight. Or opting out altogether and packing your car! 
2. You’re looking to cycle long distances. E-bikes can help to keep your pace and help you get from A to B quickly and not in such a sweaty state – great if you’re switching to cycling to work! 
3. You’re recovering from an injury or illness. Using an e-bike can help you on your road to recovery with supported cycling when you need it most. 
4. To improve your overall health and fitness. Stay fit and healthy and continue to do what you love. Pushing yourself further each time you take your bike out. Stretch your muscles with the additional support of an e-bike. 

Know your Electric Bikes 

As we’ve mentioned, today, you will find a variety of e-bikes available. We’ve taken the top three categories and outlined just what each e-bike within this range has to offer so that you can make the most informed decision for you. 

Hybrid Electric Bikes 

The most common style of e-bike, hybrid or leisure bikes are ideal for commuting, touring and leisure riding. Extremely capable and comfortable, these bikes will eat up the miles with minimal effort.

If you’re looking for something a little heavier in weight, more robust, and sturdier to handle, then a hybrid electric bike is a perfect choice. 

Comfortable, easy to handle, and completely smooth, e-bikes within this range are perfect for all outdoor adventures. 

Our pick of Hybrid electric bikes includes:    

• Cube Touring Hybrid – With the versatility to ride tarmac and bridleways, the Touring Hybrid range is ideal for commuters and leisure cyclists alike.
• Cube Reaction Hybrid – One of the best hybrid hardtail bikes on the market, the Reaction Hybrid combines the MTB comfort of a front suspension fork with the agile ride geometry of Cube’s hybrid bike expertise.

Electric Road Bikes 

E-road bikes are ideal if you’re looking to keep up with the pace of large cycle groups, shave time off your daily commute, or simply enjoy what you love doing the most – road cycling. 

Electric road bikes are performance built. With innovative designs that look to help riders sustain their speed, it’s all about providing you with the opportunity to go further, faster, providing the ultimate endurance. 

Lightweight in comparison to hybrid electric bikes, e-road bikes offer a smooth and comfortable road riding experience.

Electric Mountain Bikes 

Providing you with everything you love about mountain biking and then taking it one step further and providing you with even more. 

This is what an e-mountain bike can do. It will give you the capability to tackle those bigger mountainous hills with ease. 

With the ability to ride for longer, e-mountain bikes extend your time on the trails and allow more time flying down hills as ascent times halve.

• Specialised Turbo Levo – Offering a smooth and powerful motor to help you take on any challenge, the Levo combines pedal assist with all the hallmarks known to Specialized’s mountain bike designs.
