About Electric Bikes
Electric bikes use a motor and battery to support your pedalling. They help you climb with less effort, ride further and stay out longer. Modern systems deliver smooth, natural power that feels like an extension of your own effort. Whether you ride road, gravel, MTB or commute daily, an eBike makes every ride easier and more enjoyable.
Trusted Motor Systems
Our electric bikes use proven systems from Bosch, Mahle and TQ. These motors offer smooth support on climbs, predictable power delivery and efficient use of battery capacity. Battery options from 400Wh to 800Wh let you choose the right balance of range, weight and performance for your riding.
Popular Electric Bike Models
We stock leading eBikes across all categories, including:
Electric Mountain Bikes
Electric mountain bikes give you more laps, more climbs and more time on the trails. Hardtail eMTBs suit trail centres and mixed paths. Full suspension eMTBs offer control and comfort on technical terrain. Both styles help you explore further and ride with more confidence.
Electric Road Bikes
Electric road bikes use lightweight frames and smooth power delivery to help on climbs and longer distances. They keep the feel of a traditional road bike while adding support when you need it. Ideal for endurance rides, fitness and fast weekend loops.
Electric Gravel Bikes
Electric gravel bikes blend speed, stability and extra assistance for mixed surfaces. They suit riders who want to explore bridleways, forest tracks and long off‑road routes with added support on climbs and rough ground.
Hybrid and City eBikes
Hybrid eBikes are ideal for commuting, cycle paths and leisure riding. They use comfortable geometry, practical features and reliable power to make everyday journeys easier. Many include mudguards, racks and lights for year round use.

Yes. Electric bikes are legal to ride on UK roads and cycle paths if they meet EAPC rules. The motor must cut out at 15.5mph and the rider must pedal for the assist to work.
Sizing works the same as a normal bike. Your height, inside leg and riding style decide the right frame. Check each brand’s size chart or ask our team for guidance.
eMTB models are built for off‑road riding with suspension, wide tyres and powerful motors. Hybrid electric bikes are designed for roads and cycle paths with a more upright fit and efficient tyres.
