ELECTRIC BIKE FAQ's

What is an electric bike?

What sets an electric bike apart from a traditional push bike are three essential components: the battery, the motor, and the sensor system. Every e-bike is built with these elements to enhance your natural pedalling power and deliver smooth electric assistance. As you begin to pedal on a pedal-assist electric bike, the motor activates and works alongside your effort to help drive the wheels, making riding easier and more efficient.

The battery supplies the energy needed to power the motor, while the sensor detects your pedalling motion and signals the motor to provide the appropriate level of assistance. This intelligent interaction ensures the support feels natural and responsive, whether you are starting from a standstill, climbing hills, or cruising on flat roads. The result is a riding experience that closely mirrors a standard bicycle, but with added strength when you need it most.

An integrated display allows you to stay in control throughout your journey, showing key information such as battery charge, current speed, and assistance settings. By adjusting the power level to suit your riding style and conditions, all components work seamlessly together to deliver a comfortable, reliable, and enjoyable electric cycling experience that’s ideal for everyday commuting and leisure rides alike.

What are the types of electric bikes?

There are many different types of electric bikes available, each designed to suit specific riding styles and needs. Below are some of the most popular e-bike options, along with why they might be the right choice for you.


  • Folding electric bikes are ideal for travel and urban living. These compact e-bikes combine electric power with a foldable frame, allowing you to easily store them in small spaces, carry them on public transport, or pack them away at home or work. Simply unfold the bike when you’re ready to continue your journey and enjoy effortless electric assistance on the go.

  • Step-through electric bikes are designed for comfort, accessibility, and style. Featuring a low-frame design, they allow for easy mounting and dismounting, making them perfect for everyday commuting and casual riding. They blend a classic, elegant look with modern electric performance, offering a smooth and relaxed riding experience.

  • Electric mountain bikes are built for adventure and challenging terrain. Equipped with powerful motors and robust off-road frames, these e-bikes help you tackle steep climbs, rough trails, and uneven ground with confidence. They extend your riding range and allow you to explore routes that may have previously felt out of reach.

  • Fat tyre electric bikes are designed to deliver a stable, smooth, and confident ride across a wide variety of surfaces. Their oversized tyres provide excellent grip and balance, performing well on roads, gravel, sand, snow, and trails. With a fat tyre e-bike, virtually no terrain is off limits.

  • Hybrid electric bikes offer a versatile balance between road and mountain bikes. Taking the best features from both styles, hybrid e-bikes are well suited to city streets, cycle paths, and light off-road routes. They are a great all-round option for riders who want flexibility, comfort, and efficiency in one electric bike.

Are electric bikes legal to ride in the UK?

Yes, electric bikes are legal to ride in the UK, provided they meet the requirements for an Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC). While e-bikes are motorised, they are not treated as motorbikes under UK law, making them accessible and easy to use for everyday transport. Anyone aged 14 or over can legally ride an electric bike that complies with current regulations.

Under UK legislation, an electric bike must have a motor with a maximum continuous power output of 250 watts and provide assistance only up to a speed of 15.5mph. When these conditions are met, no driving licence, insurance, vehicle tax, or MOT is required. EAPCs can be ridden anywhere a standard pedal bike is allowed, including roads, cycle paths, and bike lanes, making them a practical and legal choice for commuting and leisure riding across the UK.

How do electric bikes work?

Battery, motor and sensor.

Electric bikes work by combining traditional pedalling with smart motor assistance to make cycling easier and more efficient. When you start pedalling, sensors detect your movement and activate a battery-powered motor that provides extra support. This assistance helps you ride further, tackle hills, and maintain speed with less effort than a standard bicycle.

The level of support can be adjusted using the e-bike’s display, allowing you to choose how much assistance you want based on the terrain or your riding style. The battery supplies power to the motor and can be recharged like any other electric device. All components work together seamlessly, giving you the familiar feel of cycling with the added benefit of electric power when you need it most.

Can electric bikes be ridden in the rain?

Yes, you can safely ride an electric bike in the rain. Electric bikes are built to withstand wet weather conditions, including rain and splashes from puddles, so everyday riding in damp conditions will not harm your e-bike. The electrical components are well protected and designed for reliable performance, allowing you to continue your journey with confidence even when the weather turns wet.

For added comfort and peace of mind, wearing waterproof clothing can make rainy rides far more enjoyable. While it’s always sensible to avoid deep water and clean your bike after particularly wet rides, light to moderate rain poses no issue for modern electric bikes, making them a dependable and practical transport option all year round.
