Electric bikes will change your life

A little extra boost can lead to incredible possibilities. When you ride an electric bike, there’s no ride too long, no load too heavy and no place your legs can’t carry you. Ditch the daily traffic jam, get more exercise and feel great about treading more lightly on the planet. And best of all – have a ton of fun along the way.

E-bike magic, explained

How pedal-assist motors work

Electric bikes work by using an electric motor and battery to help you power your bike. On pedal-assist e-bikes, you control the amount of power the drive system provides and the assist only kicks in when you pedal. The motor amplifies the power behind each of your pedal strokes, providing a natural riding feeling that makes it seem like your legs are supercharged! Some manufacturers make e-bikes that use a twist throttle to engage the drive system. With these bikes, you don’t have to be pedalling for the motor to be engaged. This can be dangerous, since it’s easy to get out of control if you’re not paying attention. We only make pedal-assist e-bikes, because they feel the most like a regular bike and help riders feel more in command of their ride.

Finding your ideal e‑bike

The first step to finding your perfect e‑bike is to decide what type of riding you want to do.

Just like traditional bikes, there are different types of e‑bikes for all different types of riding – like mountain biking, city riding, commuting and road riding. Check out our handy guide to find the e‑bike that’s right for you and your two-wheeled aspirations.
