How to choose the best electric bike?
Buying an electric bike is an investment, so you need to make sure you choose the best model. Better than words, this video taken from the program "La Quotidienne" on France 5 will detail the different factors to take into account when buying your electric bike.
Electric bike: what price range?
Once you've decided what style of e-bike you want to buy, then you need to figure out how much you're willing to pay for it. To help you, we give you some information about electric bikes according to their price.
Low-cost electric bike:
These are electric bikes that are ultra affordable. They cost between €400 and €800. Generally, these are electric bicycles that are imported from China. Many people refer to this type of e-bike as disposable. Indeed, they are very fragile and are made up of poor quality electrical equipment. They have a weak motor and a weak battery. So when buying, this type of bike is very competitive in terms of price, but in the long run, it costs you more.
If you want to make a good deal, it is better to spend a little more money and look at the next category.
Cheap electric bike:
A cheap electric bike is estimated between 800 € and 1300 €. With this price increase over the low-cost bike, you will find that there is an increase in component quality.
With this quality of bike, you can go where you want because they are quite efficient. But don't expect a bike that lasts for years, especially with daily use. If you take care of it and use it within reason, cheap electric bikes may be for you.
Mid-range electric bike:
Mid-range electric bikes have an average price between 1500 € and 3000 €. With this price range, the components of the bike improve considerably. This mid-range category is for people who want to have a quality electric bike without paying a high price for it either.
You can use this model every day without worrying about damaging it. In terms of driving and components such as tires or the dial, you will see a certain difference compared to the cheap bike.
High-end electric bike:
This price range is quite wide and depends on certain factors. High-end e-bikes cost between $3,000 and $5,000. With this price you are almost sure to find only quality parts and above all to have a reliable bike over time.
Certainly, it is a strong investment but it is important to emphasize that the motors are generally in the crankset. So they outperform the hub motors found on most mid-range e-bikes.
Ultra-premium electric bike:
With this price range, prices can soar. Indeed, the most high-end bikes on the market can cost between €5,000 and €10,000. Again, you have to look at all the factors and the type of bike you are looking for. If you are looking for an ultra reliable model, with a powerful engine and which belongs to a recognized brand like Sporttechnik, then yes, you are going to pay dearly.
But it should be noted that for some people, an electric bike is the main means of transport in the same way as a scooter or a car. But isn't it better to invest in an ultra-premium bike that gives you reliability, durability and safety than rather in a cheaper bike that omits some of its features?
