In this issue we have gone big on electric bikes. I appreciate that it will divide opinion, but it felt like the time was right to have a good long look at what's happening on the greener side of the fence. Some will find it interesting, others will call it sacrilege – personally I haven't yet decided which camp to join.
But I know we’d better start swimming or we'll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin'. Over the last few years electric bikes have developed at a staggering pace.The batteries have got smaller, the range bigger, and the overall riding experience more akin to what you would expect from a motorcycle rather than a milk float.The latest electric bikes – the ones we’ve tested for this issue – even look good. It feels like electric bikes are (almost) there.
