What’s important on an e-bike to you? In the early days the answer might simply have been a motor and battery that work well and last. For the vast majority for reputable companies these questions are really taken as given.
Nowadays the focus has moved to a whole host of new questions and really it boils down to how many ‘extras’ you want or need, as exemplified by new e-bikes featured this week. Do you want a quick fold and good size battery, like the Fiido X has? Or maybe off-roaders want top performance form the latest mid-drive out there and tech specs that will stand up to toughest mtb performance, typified by the Nukeproof’s new Megawatt e-mtb….then again you might want a low maintenance but high tech city bike with retro chic and anti-theft technology, typified by Netherland’s sleek looking Veloretti machines.
