Electric Bikes
Why buy an electric bike instead of a traditional one?
E-bikes feature electric pedal assistance, meaning they help amplify your own effort. If you stop pedaling, the assistance will stop. Similarly, if you exceed 25 km/h, the maximum speed legally permitted for this type of bike, the assistance will stop. These bikes are versatile and feature assistance modes, which can multiply your pedaling force, resulting in more distance covered in the same time or less effort for the same distance. Also, depending on factors such as weight, gradient and assistance mode, e-bikes can have a range of between 40 and 120 km. So why opt for an e-bike instead of a traditional bicycle? Well, the answer lies in its greater versatility, performance and ease of use, especially for those who may face health or fitness challenges.
Which electric bike to choose: central or rear motor?
Where the motor is located on an electric bike can make a big difference in how the ride feels. The central motors offer exceptional balance and provide a smoother start. The Rear motors, on the other hand, can provide faster acceleration. Based on your cycling needs and personal preferences, you can choose the one that suits you best.

FAQs
What are the best electric bikes for urban use?
The best electric bikes for urban use are lightweight, low-maintenance models with an upright riding position, integrated lights, and reliable hydraulic disc brakes. Mid-drive or hub motors with smooth torque delivery and integrated batteries (300–500 Wh) offer the best balance of range and agility for city commuting.
What makes an electric bike different from a conventional bike?
An electric bicycle differs from a conventional bicycle in that it incorporates a motor, a battery and a pedal-assist system. The motor supplements the cyclist’s effort while pedalling, making it possible to tackle hills, gradients and long journeys with less effort. This assistance makes it easier for people with different levels of physical fitness to use a bicycle, helps them keep up on group rides and makes urban travel more comfortable. However, the cyclist continues to pedal and can select the level of assistance they wish to receive at any given time.
What advantages do electric bikes offer?
Electric bicycles make it possible to travel longer distances, tackle inclines and regulate physical effort thanks to motor assistance. This makes cycling accessible to more people, regardless of their age, experience or physical fitness.
How do you choose the right power for an electric bike?
When choosing the motor for an electric bicycle, power should not be the only factor considered. On conventional pedal-assisted bicycles, continuous rated power is limited to 250 W, so one of the most useful figures for comparing their pushing capability is motor torque, expressed in newton metres —Nm—.
How long does an electric bike battery last?
The range of an electric bicycle can be approximately between 30 and 100 kilometres per charge, although the actual distance varies considerably depending on the model, battery capacity and conditions of use.
How can you improve the range of electric bikes?
To increase the range of an electric bicycle, it is necessary to reduce the amount of energy the motor has to provide during the journey. It is also advisable to avoid fully discharging the battery on a regular basis and to follow the charging and storage recommendations provided by the manufacturer.
How fast does an electric bike go?
On a conventional pedal-assisted electric bicycle, the motor stops providing assistance when a speed of 25 km/h is reached. This does not mean that the bicycle cannot exceed this speed: the cyclist can continue to accelerate through their own pedalling or take advantage of a downhill section, but the motor will no longer provide assistance. Under normal conditions, many electric bicycles can maintain assisted speeds of around 20 to 25 km/h, depending on the terrain, the selected assistance level and the cyclist’s effort.
