Electric Bikes ..


Recommended Posts

I am thinking of getting an electric Bike , does anyone have any good ideas with regards to what i should look at , I am not sure i will buy a brand new one so any recommendations will be greatly received. Now the bike has to be able to go from netheredge to woodseats , Norton lees areas every day for my work.

Go on pedelec forum. You get all the info you need. If you got a good bike already buy a kit, it much cheap

Yeah, I was looking in to this casually too. I think you can get kits, and batteries shipped from China. There was some interesting info on YouTube. Some of the custom bikes have amazing acceleration and top speed, probably not altogether safe!

Some are quite nippy...

 

 

I'm wondering if the speed limit still applies if you're on an electric bike?

Hugely popular in the Netherlands and for good reason. Convenient and nippy way to get round town. Unfortunately cyclists are still disregarded in Sheffield so you'll have to have your wits about you at all times.

 

yes but i know the quieter ways to where i work and will not be cycling on major roads except to cross them and just nearby is a cycle path which i will use

In that case definitely go for it, a cousin of mine sold his car and now bikes 24 kilometres into work every day with his electric bike - he loves it.
