The Benefits of Choosing an Electric Bike

Why are more and more people across Berkshire and beyond switching to electric bikes? They offer a host of compelling advantages that make cycling more accessible and enjoyable:

• Effortless Cycling: Tackle hills and headwinds with ease! The motor assistance makes longer rides less daunting and everyday commutes a breeze, significantly reducing fatigue.
• Go Further, Faster: While assistance is capped at 15.5 mph (25 km/h), e-bikes allow you to maintain a higher average speed with less effort, helping you cover greater distances in less time than on a traditional bike.
• Sustainable Travel: Reduce your carbon footprint! E-bikes are an environmentally friendly alternative to cars, helping to cut down on transportation emissions.
• Boost Your Fitness: While they assist, e-bikes still encourage pedalling, providing a great low-impact workout that's accessible to more people, regardless of fitness level.
• Enjoyable Commutes: Arrive at work feeling refreshed, not exhausted. E-bikes transform your daily commute into an enjoyable, active part of your day.

Understanding Electric Bikes

If you're new to the world of e-bikes, here's a quick overview of what they are and how they differ from traditional bicycles:

What Exactly is an eBike?
An electric bike, or e-bike, is essentially a standard pedal cycle enhanced with a battery and an electric motor. Unlike mopeds or motorbikes, e-bikes are designed to assist your pedalling effort, making cycling easier, more enjoyable, and extending your range. The motor typically engages when you pedal, providing a smooth, natural boost that flattens hills and reduces the effort required.

Are Electric Bikes Road Legal?
Yes! For an e-bike to be considered road-legal in the UK (and usable on roads and cycle paths where 'normal' bicycles are allowed), it must meet specific criteria:

• The motor's power output cannot exceed 250 watts.
• The motor assists up to 15.5 mph (25 km/h). You can certainly go faster than this speed, but the motor will stop providing assistance beyond this point, meaning you'll rely solely on your own leg power for any additional speed.

These regulations ensure that e-bikes integrate seamlessly and safely into existing cycling infrastructure.
