Thinking about getting an e-bike? Here\u2019s what you really need to know<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are you thinking about getting an e-bike? Maybe you’ve been toying with the idea for a while. Maybe your knees aren\u2019t what they used to be. Perhaps you’re tired of arriving at work looking like you\u2019ve just run a marathon. Or maybe you\u2019ve just seen one whizz past and thought, \u201cOoh, that looks fun.\u201d<\/em> Whatever your reason, welcome to the e-bike club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before you charge headlong into the world of ebiking, here are a few things to consider as a total beginner \u2014 no jargon, no pressure, just plain talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you need to know<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. What is an e-bike?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s clear this up first: An e-bike is just like a normal bicycle but with a bit of help when you need it. To explain it as simply as possible you pedal as usual, and the motor provides additional assistance. There are generally 3 or 4 power levels (modes). Eco mode (the lowest mode) boosts your power by a third while Turbo mode (highest mode) gives you three times the power. It won\u2019t do everything<\/em> for you (this isn\u2019t a motorbike), but it gives you a nice boost when you\u2019re pedalling, especially on hills, windy days, or when you\u2019re running late and the traffic is against you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note: There is EMTB mode which basically like an automatic car, you put it on EMTB and it does it all for you. The drawback of this mode is it will use more of your battery as it moves between the “Tour to Turbo” modes to provide you with the right power level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. You still have to pedal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This one surprises a few people. Yes, it\u2019s electric<\/em>, but you still need to pedal. The motor just helps you do it without feeling like your lungs might explode. Think of it as a friendly push up a hill from a mate who never runs out of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Me\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Know your legal limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the UK and much of Europe (including Austria), e-bikes that assist up to 25 km\/h (about 15.5 mph) and have a motor are classed as regular bicycles. No licence, no insurance, no faff. If it goes faster or has a throttle, or if you don\u2019t have to pedal it. Well, that\u2019s a different beast and may need registration. Check locally for legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Range matters (but don\u2019t obsess)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first thing everyone asks is, \u201cHow far will it go?\u201d<\/em> Most e-bikes can do 40\u2013100km on a single charge, depending on how hilly the terrain is, the battery size, how much power you\u2019re using, and whether you\u2019ve packed a picnic or a four-course meal in your panniers. Basically, unless you’re cycling across the Alps daily, you\u2019re probably fine. Batteries range up to 850 watt. What’s best I hear you ask? You need to decide what you are going to use it for and then decide on what size of battery you need. For instance, I live in the Alps so I do a lot of uphill, I need a new knee and I’m of the cuddly variety. My days are generally between 50-80km and I ride in Tour mode most of the time; my battery is 625 watt and that does me fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Budget wisely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

E-bikes aren\u2019t cheap. A decent one can cost anywhere from \u20ac2000 to \u20ac3,000; however, you can spend upwards of \u20ac10,000 if you decide a full suspension is the one for you. Think about what you can afford, and consider it an investment in your health, happiness, and possibly your wardrobe (fewer sweat-drenched shirts). Try before you buy if you can\u2014most good bike shops will let you test ride. If they don’t, then go somewhere else that will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of e-bikes around at the moment from the last two years and a lot of stock in shops and warehouses, so you will find a great deal if you take your time and research. My bike is a Scott ladies’ trekking bike from 2020 and is still going strong, and I love it. If I had to liken it to a car, I would say it’s like a VW Golf, dependable, robust and looks good without being flashy. I have test-ridden Hai and Cube e-bikes recently, both trekking bikes, and that is what I need. Both are great brands; If I were pushed for an answer, I would probably say you get more for your money with Cube. All said and done, I’m sure you will get a deal on most e-bikes from the past 2 years as there is a lot of stock out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. They’re heavier than you think<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Because of the motor and battery, e-bikes are chunkier than regular bikes. If you plan to carry it up three flights of stairs or hang it from a garden shed wall, maybe rethink your storage plan. But on the road? That extra weight makes it feel sturdy and reassuring. As an example, my e-bike weighs 28 kilos. Therefore, getting it on and off trains that are not at platform level can be difficult. I normally have my husband around, so problem solved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Smiles guaranteed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least: riding an e-bike makes you grin. There\u2019s just something joyful about flying up a hill without breaking a sweat. It feels like cheating \u2014 but the kind of cheating that\u2019s completely allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

E-bikes are for everyone<\/em>, not just the ultra-fit or the unfit. Take it slow, do some research, and most importantly, have fun. The road and bike path awaits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
