So what is an E-Commuter?

E-Bikes are now everywhere. We can’t escape them. And we definitely don’t want to.

Simply put, an electric bike, also known as an e-bike, is the exact same as a regular bike but with an added motor to assist the riding experience. Don’t worry, they don’t take the fun away from riding – instead they enhance it. With an e-bike, pedaling is much easier, you get an extra boost for speed and performance, and they take the hard work out of hills and long distances so that you can enjoy your ride.

Almost every kind of bike now has an e-bike equivalent, whether it’s mountainbiking, commuting, or anything in between. Getting to and from your destination is much easier when you don’t have to pedal so much (especially during those hot Summer months), suits and skirts won’t get ruined or in the way when you have a low step-through height, and age is no limit when you don’t have to work as hard for your results.

Now that we’ve narrowed down what an e-commuter is, let’s have a look at the different. There’s a perfect bike for everyone.
