Choosing the right e bike for you in Northern Ireland 2023

Choosing an e-bike depends on various factors such as your budget, riding preferences, terrain, and purpose. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when choosing an e-bike:

Types of E-Bike: There are different types of e-bikes available in the market, including mountain bikes, road bikes, city bikes, folding bikes, cargo bikes, and more. Choose the type of e-bike that suits your riding needs and preferences.

• Motor and Battery: The motor and battery are the most crucial components of an e-bike. You should consider the capacity of the battery depending on how far you feel you`ll need to go on a single charge and the motor by the level of torque needed to climb the local hills. Generally, the more powerful the motor, the harder it is on the battery therefore motors with higher torque levels will be paired with bigger capacity batteries, but they will also be more expensive and slightly heavier.

• Range: Range refers to how far an e-bike can travel on a single battery charge. Consider how far you need to travel on your longest day, and choose an e-bike that can cover that distance. A higher capacity battery can provide more range.
