E-Bike FAQ

Why would I buy an electric bike over a regular bike?: They make pedalling feel effortless, so you don't get tired as quickly. And they make it easier to maintain a constant speed and get back up to speed after stopping, which may cut down your journey time. They are also really fun! We all hate hills!
If I want to ride my e-bike on the road, do I need a licence?: There is no licence needed for e-bikes.
Are e-bikes heavier than standard bikes?: The battery, motor, extra components, and reinforced frame make e-bikes inherently heavier than standard bikes.
How long does it take to charge?: A lithium ion e-bike battery that is fully depleted will take 3.5 to 6 hours to recharge.
What is the range?: The range on your e-bike depends on several things, EG. How much effort the rider puts in, how much the rider weighs, how hilly the route is. The battery life is like petrol in your car. Please click here to the Bosch e-bike range calculator.
How fast can I go?: As fast as a normal bike… the electric motor of the bike will assist you to 15.5mph the UK legal limit above this it’s up to you!
Do I have to pedal?: Yes, you do need to pedal all electric bikes in the UK are rider assisted, the ‘twist and go ‘ the other option with no rider input is classed as a motor cycle and you would need to have a license, electric bikes are rider assisted up to 15.5 mph, the rider has 4-5 assistance levels to choose from. Eco which gives little assistance and long range to turbo which gives max power and shorter range, all these options make cycling mega fun with a lot less effort especially on those BIG hills.
Can I ride the bike without the power on?: Yes, you can ride an e-bike with the battery off. Riding an e-bike without the battery will not harm or damage the motor. However, riding an e-bike with a flat or no battery will make the bike harder to pedal, especially during inclines.
Does it recharge as I pedal?: No, it does not.
Should I completely drain my battery before charging?: This is not required. It is in fact, best to always top up our batteries, even if you have only travelled 10 miles, just top it up.
Will an e-bike move without pedalling? Does it have a throttle?: The e-bikes we sell assist you whilst pedalling, they do not have a throttle.
Can I convert my bike to Tubeless?: Yes you can convert to tubeless for �£70 which includes valves, sealant and tape if your tyres are compatible. If your tyres are not compatible we can give you a quote for some Tubeless compatible tyres, which you would need to convert to tubeless.
