The 5 things to know before choosing an electric bike<\/h1>\n

The electric-assist bike<\/strong> has been a great success for a few years now and many people have decided to convert their classic bike into an electric bike<\/i>.<\/p>\n

What do you need to know before converting your bicycle into an electric-assist bike? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The performance of an electric bike<\/u> depends on the bike model and the chosen conversion kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What should be taken into consideration before converting your bike into an electric bike?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Use \/ usefulness<\/strong>: the electric bike<\/strong> suits the urban environment and is therefore perfect for commuting, going for a ride, doing the shopping, going to the cinema or a restaurant, or carrying loads. What is more, craftsmen, pizza delivery riders and shopkeepers increasingly travel by electric bike.<\/li>\n
  2. Speed<\/strong>: e-bikes<\/strong> go faster than classic bikes but require regular pedalling. The maximum speed of an electric-assist bike is set at 25 km\/h and the average speed is 19 km\/h.<\/li>\n
  3. Battery range<\/strong>: the battery<\/a> of a new electric bike must undergo on average 2 to 3 complete charge-discharge cycles to reach its full capacity. Some batteries can guarantee a range of 120 km<\/strong> provided the rider’s weight does not exceed 75 kg and only 25% of the electric assistance is used. The range is an average: it varies according to the rider, the weather, the difficulty of the route and the type of bike.<\/li>\n
  4. Price<\/strong>: an electric bike is relatively expensive; it ranges from \u20ac900 to \u20ac3,000. Conversion and motorisation kits are not that expensive. What is more, Power E-Bike<\/a> guarantees the lowest prices in France<\/strong> and offers kits compatible with various batteries<\/strong> requiring no modification (36V, 48V and 60V).<\/li>\n
  5. Whether or not you are used to cycling<\/strong>: before buying an electric bike you must be sure that you are able to pedal. Indeed, an electric-assist bike<\/strong> only starts when pedalling and as soon as the rider stops pedalling, the bike stops.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
