    What is the difference between a regular bike and an electric bike?

    The concept of e-bikes is based on the principle of augmenting, not replacing human power. Electric bikes are like regular bikes with a battery-powered electric motor that assists with your pedaling. The average person who normally rides at 10 mph can ride at 15-20 mph using the same effort.

    Why would I buy an electric bike?

    From the feedback we have had when visiting companies those who trial our e-bikes and who may not have even thought about buying a bike just love the feeling of exhilaration and ease an electric bike offers over a regular bike. Studies show that people are 4 times more likely to cycle electric than a normal bike. Why? because the assistance an electric bike gives you is on demand to help you zip up hills, against headwinds and lets you go on  longer cycles. You can enjoy the time getting to work, without the traffic worries all while getting fit but without needing a shower when you get to work.

    How should I care for the battery?

    In order to achieve maximum battery life and range of the e-bike we recommend that charging takes place in a warm room. With temperatures below 20ºC prolonged charging time must be expected. Please note that the capacity of the battery will decrease when temperatures fall below 20ºC.Optimum battery charging conditions are at 20ºC. If the battery is exposed to direct sunlight the battery life deteriorates considerably.Memory effect does not occur in Li-ION batteries. It is thus unnecessary to discharge the battery before starting a recharge.

    Charging of the Li-ION battery at frequent intervals may prolong the battery life. However, please note that once charging of the battery has been started you should not discontinue the process as this may have a negative influence on the battery life.
