Electric bike FAQs
New to electric bikes? We’ve put together some frequently asked questions to explain a bit about electric bikes!
What’s the point of an electric bike (motor-assisted bicycle)?
Electric bikes are a cost-saving, eco-friendly alternative to get you from A to B easier, allowing you to cover long distances and reach higher speeds, with less pedalling effort. You can choose how much you want to pedal and easily switch between manual and electric mode with a push of a button.
Is an electric bike worth buying?
Electric bikes are much cheaper to run than motorbikes and cars with savings on fuel, time (in traffic or waiting for public transport), parking, insurance, and maintenance. Using an e-bike may actually make your trip faster, as they are great for bypassing heavy traffic and much easier to park. Of course exercise and fresh air are also great added health/fitness benefits!
What is the best electric bike to buy?
The right design, user features and performance will all affect the ride experience and overall enjoyment of your e-bike. Here’s some key things to consider when investing in the best e-bike for you.
– Quality-made
– Good warranty
– Designed to suit intended use
– Features you need
– Budget
What are the key components of an electric bike?
If you’ve just started e-bike shopping, it pays to know a bit about the key components. The right type, user features and performance ability will all affect the ride experience and overall enjoyment of your new e-bike.
Battery life – Capacity is measured in watt-hours (Wh). Check that the battery charge time suits your needs and it has an IP rating for protection from dust and water.
Ride range – The distance (km) the e-bike can travel on a single charge (without pedalling). This can vary based on battery capacity, weight of the bike/rider, amount of motor assistance and the terrain.
Maximum speed – Each make/model has a maximum speed (kph).
Bike/tyre size – City/urban e-bikes have a smaller frame and wheels for easy mounting and comfort. E-MTB’s and dirt bikes have larger frames and wider tyres with heavier tread for trail riding.
Construction – City/urban bikes have a lightweight frame for speed and efficiency on paved surfaces. Dirt and mountain e-bikes have a more sturdy, heavier frame and advanced suspension/braking systems.
Performance monitoring – Most e-bikes feature an LED screen displaying speed, battery charge and more. Some also feature bluetooth connectivity (such as the Plusrite Cheetah 2 Electric Dirt Bike) for performance control and monitoring.
Are electric bikes heavy?
Electric bikes are heavier than regular bikes due to the battery and motor (consider this if you will need to lift the bike or carry it up stairs). Plusrite general purpose/commuter electric bikes (Peacock Electric Bike and the Fantail Electric Bike) are both foldable!
