Slowly but surely Electric Bicycles are starting to gain popularity in the United States. They are already extremely popular in South East Asia, Australia and Europe. During the past few years, many US cities and communities have invested heavily on roadway bike paths and off-road trails for shared and exclusive bicycle use. With the surge in biking for recreation or exercise, it is easy to see why people who may normally avoid cycling have joined the party. With the assistance of a small motor, riding up hills and through headwinds can become much easier. With so many styles to choose from, it may seem a bit overwhelming to someone looking for their first e-Bike.

The best way to determine what e-Bike is best for you is to shop as if you were buying a standard bicycle. Once you know what type (commuter, cruiser or mountain) will fit your needs, the rest is simple. The manufacture of most good e-Bikes design or engineer them with the correct motor and battery for the type of style. So if you pick out a commuter e-Bike that you like the look and feel, it will likely have the correct motor and battery. It’s just that easy!
