Top Tips When Buying Electric Bicycles
Eugene Craig
Electric bicycles are one of the most promising trends of the 21st century. Besides being a convenient way to criss-cross busy cities, e-bikes are also an environmentally friendly method of transport. Buying your first e-bike can be quite challenging since there are many types of e-bikes on the market today. Below is an article with five questions to ask yourself before buying an e-bike. Hopefully, they will ensure that you buy a high-quality bike that suits your needs and lasts for generations.
What Brand Will You Purchase?
This is a critical, yet forgotten, consideration to make when buying an electric bicycle. Below are several reasons why you should compare the various brands:
- Each manufacturer has a varying product quality. Typically, you should be interested in high-quality products.
- E-bikes, similar to other machines, can break down. For this reason, you would want a brand whose spare parts are readily available.
- Check the terms of the manufacturer's warranty. A bike with many years under warranty is likely to last longer.
- Manufacturers have varying complementary services to boost sales and build their brand name. For instance, some will offer free shipping while others provide free servicing.
How Do You Intend To Use The Bike?
The answers to this question will help you determine the type of e-bike that you should purchase. For example, a commuter bike is ideal for leisure riding, while a cruiser bike suits people who enjoy riding at speeds. Mountain e-bikes will handle offroad terrain. Cargo e-bikes come with a large basket where you can put your shopping or deliveries.
How Much Power Do You Need?
E-bikes come with varying motors. A large motor will enable you to ride at speeds and cover steep inclines. The downside of these motors is that they significantly increase the weight of the bike. A battery charges the e-bike's motor. Therefore, it would be wise to check the range of the battery. A battery with a wide range allows you to enjoy pedal-assist or throttle mode for longer periods.
What Is Your Budget?
It determines the condition of the bike that you will purchase. With adequate funds, you would go for a new bike. However, if this is not the case, you could opt to settle for a used bike. Your primary concern when buying a used bike should be its condition. Check whether it is under manufacturer warranty or if the seller is ready to give any guarantees. Also, inspect the bike visually and ride it for a while to establish whether it has mechanical issues.
When buying an electric bike, keep these things in mind.
