How to choose an electric bikes


An electric bicycle is a conventional bicycle equipped with a small electric motor that makes pedaling less strenuous. It features all the characteristics of a standard bicycle, including pedals, lights, and a saddle. However, a distinction must be made between an electric bicycle and a pedal-assist bikes. A pedal-assist bike has an electric motor that activates only during pedaling. This motor stops automatically when pedaling ceases, when the brakes are engaged, or when a speed of 25 km/h is reached. These models do not feature throttles, buttons, or levers for propulsion. Conversely, in electric bikes, the motor and pedaling function independently. Consequently, one can move using only the electric motor without pedaling. In practice, this category is classified as a moped, making it subject to mandatory helmet and insurance regulations.

To be legally classified as a pedal-assist electric bicycle, the motor must not exceed 250 Watts and the speed must be limited to 25 km/h, as per Highway Code regulations.

A high-quality pedal-assist electric bicycle should possess the following features:

  • lightweight construction
  • low-maintenance battery
  • optimal battery range
