What to look for in an e-bike deal
Buying an electric bike is no small matter; most start at around $800-$1,000, so it's a sizable investment. Regardless of the size of the deal, you want to make sure you're spending your money wisely. Here are a few things to look for when buying an electric bike.
Motor type and power
In general, most electric bikes will have a motor that delivers between 250 to 500 Watts of power; the bigger the number, the more oomph it can deliver, which is important if you have a larger load to carry, or live in a hillier area. Motors will either be mounted in one of the bike's wheels (called a hub motor), or in the center of the bike (a crank shaft motor); the latter tend to be found on pricier bikes, as they're generally more responsive.
Battery size
The bigger the battery, the longer the range. Most bike manufacturers will list their battery capacity in Watt hours (Wh), which takes into account battery output and battery life to give you a better sense of available power. Higher Wh translates into more range. Bear in mind, though, that the estimated range a company gives can be very optimistic - they calculate range based on ideal conditions, so if you go up a lot of hills or use the throttle a lot, you're going to see a far shorter range than advertised.
This is not a must-have, but we also like bike batteries that are removable - it makes them easier to recharge.
Pedal assist/throttle
All electric bikes work by providing extra power as you're pedaling the bike. However, many have a throttle, which means the bike does all the work for you. Throttles can also be helpful if you're trying to start on a hill — they can make it easier to get going from a dead stop.
Lights and turn signals
You'll be hard-pressed to find an electric bike that doesn't have a built-in headlight and taillight — and you should probably steer clear of those that don't. Some electric bikes go even further, with built-in turn signals, so that cars can see which way you're going. You should still use hand signals, but it's a nice feature to have.
Accessories
Don't forget — if you're buying a new electric bike, be sure to buy one of the best bike helmets, as well as one of the best bike locks, to protect both you and your investment.
