Electric bikes are ideal for commuting to and from an office, but they’re great for anyone wanting to buy a new bike.To get more news about Fat Tire Electric Bikes, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Cycling up hills becomes virtually effortless, and you won’t be slowed down by strong winds. All the worst things about regular cycling are solved by an electric bike. Except getting wet in the rain, of course.

You can ride an electric bike in the rain: they’re designed for both dry and wet weather.

And there are lots of different types of electric bikes, just as there are with normal bikes. So whether you want to cycle exclusively on the road, or to tear up the trails and tackle some proper mountain biking, there’s an electric bike to suit.
Are electric bikes worth it?
Most definitely. Electric bikes make it easy to cover longer distances than you can on an ordinary bike, and you can easily cycle up hills even if you’re unfit.

Electric bikes are for everyone, no matter your age or fitness level.Every electric bike offers a variety of levels of assistance – including pedal power only – so you can choose how much effort to put in. Feeling lazy? Use maximum motor power and barely pedal at all.

Electric bikes are legal in most countries, but the laws aren’t the same in all. In Europe and the UK, motors are limited to 250W and assistance speeds to 15.5mph / 25km/h. But in the US, bikes can assist to 20mph and have motors up to 1000W in certain states. Do check the laws in your state before buying.
Where is a good place to buy an electric bike?
You can buy electric bikes from many bike shops these days, including Halfords in the UK. Often you’ll be able to test ride one – some companies will even loan you a bike for a day or two so you can really try them out.

Quite a few manufacturers sell direct to the public. This can mean they’re a bit more affordable, or better value, but do consider how you’d return the bike if there is a problem. This is why it can be inconvenient to buy from China.

You might save a lot of money initially, but if something goes wrong, it can be prohibitively expensive to return it. The alternative is to wait for replacement parts to arrive from the manufacturer, but you’ll have to fit them yourself or pay a local bike repair shop to do it.

Having said that, quite a few brands now have warehouses in Europe, UK and the US, so delivery is quick and won’t cost a lot. Local bike shops are better equipped now to service and repair electric bikes, too.

What’s important to understand is that you get what you pay for with e-bikes. So, if you can afford more than around $1000 / £800, it’s wise to spend more than that. Even at this price, it’s almost impossible to find one which doesn’t have some compromises in component quality.

You might consider that a lot of money, but that’s an entry-level electric bike. Top-end electric bikes can cost several thousand pounds.
So long as you don’t need your bike to have suspension or fold up for easy storage, the VanMoof S3 is hard to beat.

The automatic gears, powerful motor and good range make it a joy to ride. There are lots of useful extras including a built-in lock, alarm and tracking system, and you get LED lights and mudguards as standard – plus a generous three-year warranty.
Although expensive – especially if you opt for the 5.0 rather than 4.0 – the Turbo Vado SL is every inch the premium ebike. It looks great, is much lighter than a lot of cheaper rivals and can be ridden like a normal bike without motor assistance.

The Cowboy is a very good-value electric bike. Like the VanMoof, It’s a smart, connected bike which uses an app. It shows your speed, battery level and let you control the amount of assistance from the motor, plus switch the lights on and off or even get tech support.

The Array is Raleigh’s entry-level electric bike. You can pick between three different frame styles, including a ‘shopper’-style step-through model. And each comes in three frame sizes to suit wide variety of riders.

The MiRider One is a thoughtfully designed folding bike which is well built and great to ride.

It’s more affordable than many of its rivals, yet has very few compromises. It’s relatively lightweight, built with good-quality components and is covered by a two-year UK warranty.
