FAQ
Of course, an e-bike is the perfect mode of transport for making your route from A-B fast. Electric bikes are currently the most popular bikes on the market, and their popularity is constantly on the rise due to COVID19. Ebikes provide a more private transport method to avoid the crowded public.
If you are one of the millions of people facing increased energy prices, the e-bike might be a more affordable commuting way to work. Riding an ebike can do your exercise and keep your body in shape, also reduce CO2 emissions. It's a more environment-friendly and greener transportation method. Ride more, save more for a greener future with an ebike.
Yes, but you should obey the following regulations on riding an electric bike in the UK:
●You must be at least 14 years old to ride an e-bike.
●The ebike must have pedals, and a rider should propel the bike with the pedals.
●The ebike's electric motor must have a maximum power output rating of 250Wh.
●The ebike only has a pedal-assist function-it can only have a throttle for a maximum speed equal to a walking pace.
●The motor must stop running once you attain a velocity over 25 km/h (15.5mph).
●It's recommended that you use a helmet, but it's not compulsory.
● You ride anywhere within the UK as long as that location allows the use of non-assisted bicycles.
●In Northern Ireland, you also needed a moped license before riding e-bikes. You also need to register, insure and tax your ebike. Once you tax your bike, you don't have to pay anything.
It's a difficult question to answer. You'll get different answers when you ask different people. First, you should ask yourself what kind of ebike you want, where you usually ride, and how much you plan to pay for that?
Eskute has a range of ebikes for sale; we suggest electric mountain bikes for off-road and electric hybrid bikes for commuting in cities. If you always get on or off on the short journey, we recommend step-through ebikes, which are also more convenient for ladies or seniors. Usually, ebikes with a mid-drive motor can satisfy your demand for a smooth and balanced riding experience and last for a more extended range. But if you have a budget for it, you can try our ebikes under £1500, offering excellent value for money.
If you still have doubts about how to choose the best electric bike, you can visit our bike finder or compare models to get more inspiration.
Actually, the e-bike and electric bike are the same, and both are looked like regular bikes, but they're powered by a battery and driven by a motor. Most ebikes are equipped with an intelligent display to monitor current speed and total mileage.
There's only one e-bike class in the UK, EAPC (electrically assisted pedal cycle). Powered by a maximum motor engine of 250Watts, the max speed is limited to 15.5mph (25km/h).
The electric bike can only work to give you a drive when you start pedalling. When the speed arrives at 15.5mph, the motor will stop to provide pedal assistance. No throttle is allowed to use on ebikes.
