How to buy an ebike
A Very Quick Intro
eBikes can be great for people who travel longer distances, need little help on hills, or just don't want to break a sweat. We love eBikes because they are more energy efficient than EVs but of course, good old peoplepowered bikes are a phenomenal option.

eBikes come in multiple levels, which are based on their top speed. It's good to note that the super-fast eBikes can't be ridden on off-road trails like the D&R Canal path The best way to decide is to take one out for a test ride. Luckily, there are lots of great bike shops right in town.
what about charging?
Unlike EVs you don't need to install a special charging station at home Most eBikes can plug into a standard outlet. Some eBikes have external batteries that you can detach and carry into your apartment or office to charge Other models have integrated batteries that cannot be removed from the bike, which might be better suited to garages with outlets Consider where you will be doing most of your charging to know what model to get.
