What is an E-Bike?

Simply put, an E-bike is an electric-assisted pedal bicycle. It is a regular bicycle with the addition of an electric motor. The electric motor provides power assistance when the cyclist is pedalling to ease the amount of effort required. The cyclist can choose how much assistance they get.

E-Bikes are road-legal for anyone 14 and over, and speed restricted to 15mph. E-Bikes not only make cycling accessible to people who might otherwise find it difficult, such as the elderly and those with health problems including asthma and muscle soreness, they also make the journey a lot quicker. The battery assist will make going uphill feel more like a gentle downhill, no matter how steep.

We use the latest Neomouv E-Bikes that have a range of around 50 miles, they are upright relaxed bikes that are easy to ride and operate. 1:1 instruction is provided.
