Dig out that old bike and ELECTRIFY it!...

E-BIKE ADVANTAGES:​
  1. No TAX, MOT, INSURANCE required
  2. Low maintenance and very reliable.
  3. More practical than a normal bike for shopping, chores etc
  4. Feels more stable on windy days due to extra weight, especially with an heavier E Mountain Bike
  5. Headwinds and hills no longer like having teeth pulled.
  6. More comfortable in the cold and rain as you can carry extra clothing with panniers & handlebar bags because weight is no longer an issue
  7. You can still have a good workout by trying to do parts (or whole) of a ride without the motor power so don't view it as cheating as I hear people say. For myself, I'm hoping to keep healthy fit not race fit.
  8. You can choose quieter safer roads for your rides / commutes as you can now do the big hills (along with off road routes if using an E-Mountain Bike).
  9. You don't have to wear Lycra so much as its not such a sweaty ordeal. You do still sweat but maybe the extra average speed disperses it better.
  10. Can be ridden and enjoyed by the young (cant afford a car and insurance but want mobility) and older.  Also, we have many E-bikers in the Holmfirth Cycle Club with various health issues and up to age 83 at last count.
​
E-BIKE DISADVANTAGES:
  1. Granted they can be more expensive but to counter this argument, you don't need the latest super lightweight carbon/titanium bike because you have an additional equivalent of Ed Clancy's leg pushing you up the hills. You just need a mid range decent quality road or mountain bike.
  2. The motor makes a slight humming noise
  3. The battery may only last 500 to 800 cycles (charge and discharges) but that could equate to many years even if you charge it 2/3 per week as I do for 5 rides. A new battery costs around £200. To fully charge it costs around 12p last time I worked it out. A full charge once lasted me 5 rides with a total of 95km and 2400 metres of ascent / climbing on eco mode.
  4. Heavier to lift onto a bike rack but I tend to un-clip the battery anyway and store it in the car.

If you have any questions at all please contact me. Above are photos of my E-bike which cost me less than £500 and allows me to do..
  • Road biking
  • Mountain biking
  • Gravel
  • Commuting
  • Shopping (see pannier photo)
  • Camping weekends/holidays

Apart from a tandem (which I'm also hoping to electrify) this is the only bike I have at the moment. The above is just my opinion and I'm sure many will disagree with a lot of what I think. If you have any questions at all please contact me.
