Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Bikes
Are Electric Bikes Heavier Than Normal Bikes?
Yes, because of the battery and motor, electric bikes are heavier than normal bikes. While the weight difference depends on your exact model, an electric bike tends to be approximately 30% heavier than a comparable standard bike of the same type.
Are Electric Bikes More Expensive Than Normal Bikes?
Yes, electric bikes cost more than comparable non-electric bikes because of the additional components (motor, battery, etc.) and different manufacturing processes. However, when you buy an electric bike from us, you’ll get the absolute lowest price available anywhere, thanks to the Mendham Bicycle Co. Guarantee. If you can find a lower price from a legitimate online listing, we’ll match it.
How Fast Do Electric Bikes Go?
Class 1 and Class 2 electric bicycles can reach speeds up to 20 miles per hour, while Class 3 e-bikes can go as fast as 28 miles per hour.
How Long Do Electric Bike Batteries Last?
The life of a single charge will depend on various factors including the battery itself, type of bike, weather, terrain, and of course how you ride. An e-bike battery typically lasts longer on a casual ride along a flat, paved path, than it would on an intense ride across hilly terrain. As a benchmark, the 700C Vitesse Wave Electric Cruiser Bike has an electric-assisted range of up to 50 miles, with a battery life of up to six hours.
How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Bike Battery?
This is another answer that depends on the specific battery. However, the battery on the 700C Vitesse Wave Electric Cruiser Bike recharges to 100% capacity in just 4-6 hours.
Are Electric Bikes Safe?
Yes! Like any other bicycle, it’s important to ride cautiously and only after familiarizing yourself with the controls and functions of your specific e-bike. Batteries are sealed against moisture, so you can ride with confidence, even in wet weather.
Which Type of Electric Bike is Right For Me?
This is another “it depends” answer. Consider how you intend to ride, your riding experience, and the terrain/weather in the area where you plan to ride most frequently. If you want to ride to work or the grocery store, consider a cruiser bike with a front basket so you can easily transport items. Folding e-bikes are ideal for commuting because of their light weight and versatility. Some riders prefer the comfort of a step-through e-bike.
